Anne Frank
Image
Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.

What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.
