and sister. She was a loving friend to many and cared so deeply
for others. Anne enjoyed going to school and learning. She was
smart and a gifted writer. On Anne’s 13th birthday she received
her diary, in which she spent most of her time writing in. Anne
had a passion for writing and wanted to become a best-selling
author one day. Anne wrote about her many hobbies. She loved
creating family trees from biographies and histories. She loved
reading Greek and Roman Mythology books. She also enjoyed
the world of art. In her diary Anne wrote, “Other hobbies are
film stars and family photos. Mad on books and reading. Have a great liking for history of art,
poets, and painters. I may go in for music later on” (p. 198). Annelies Marie remained hopeful
while the world around her shattered. She was a light and inspiration for all. Her hopes were for
the world to continue to cherish her diary as much as she did.
