Learning Kindness from Anne Frank
Summary:
It's hard to fathom living in constant fear as Anne Frank did and still finding joy and kindness. Anne, a Jewish girl born in Germany, wrote a diary while hiding in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands. After two years, her group was betrayed, leading to their deportation to concentration camps, where Anne died. Her father, Otto Frank, survived and published her diary, which inspired numerous books, plays, and movies.

Imagining a life filled with fear like Anne Frank's, yet still embodying happiness and kindness, is challenging. Anne, a Jewish girl from Germany, documented her experiences in a diary while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation. Sadly, after two years, they were discovered and taken to concentration camps, where Anne died seven months later. Her father, Otto Frank, survived and published her diary, sparking inspiration for countless stories, plays, and films about her life and those days of seclusion.
One of Anne’s poignant quotes, "Look at all the beauty still around you and be happy," offers advice we can all embrace, regardless of our situations. The words "still around you" struck me deeply because they reflect her dire circumstances. Her once peaceful world crumbled into one of almost unbearable hardship. I could relate, having grown up in a challenging environment, which was disguised as just a dysfunctional family. Yet, Anne’s innocence allowed her to be kind to the six others sharing her difficult journey.
Reflecting on Anne’s situation made me ponder my own life and whether I am kind enough to those around me. Since losing my job in 2005 due to an illness that upended my life, I’ve become resentful and unkind. This is where self-empowerment becomes crucial. Recognizing and admitting my weaknesses is difficult, but acknowledging these flaws is halfway to overcoming them.
Another quote comes to mind: "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." These words, though anonymous, emphasize the limitless nature of kindness. We often ration kindness as if it were scarce, but it’s always in abundant supply if we choose to share it. Following this advice means going beyond what feels adequate because we never know if someone is enduring an "Anne Frank day."
Today, I’m determined to heed this advice. I believe I have more room for kindness within me. If Anne Frank could display such kindness, so can I. I feel empowered, knowing what I need to do. I will appreciate the beauty around me and show kindness to everyone, especially those close to me. Even in the winter of my life, I can make someone’s day feel like spring.
