When I visited the Anne Frank house in 1993 photography was banned. I bought a souveneir photo book so I could remember the sights. Little did I know back then that one day we would have access to YouTube and amateur videos.
My older son read the "definitive" (complete) diary of Anne Frank last month as part of his homeschool history. I'd imagined we'd have read the book years earlier but it was one of those things that slipped through the cracks. I recall reading it in public middle school and felt that it changed me forever, I grew up and my eyes were opened to the wider harsh world by reading the memoir.
