Ann Frank's diary was published in English when I was about 11 and not long after that we read some of it aloud in class at the school I attended (a parochial school, but staffed by the Religious of the Sacred Heart). For some reason- maybe because I heard it when I was so young - it has stayed with me. My brother also had some very close friends who were Jewish - one guy in particular, Lee Fishman, was one of the greatest persons I've ever known. I mention this as a way of getting across the idea that I take the current rise in anti-Semitism personally.
