Sunday, 14th June, 1942

On Friday, 12th June, I woke up at six o’clock and no wonder; it was my birthday. But of course I was not to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until a quarter to seven. Then I could not bear it no longer, and went to the dinig room, where I received a warm welcome from Moortie (the cat).

Soon after seven I ewnt to Mummy and Daddy and then to the sitting-room to undo my presents. The first to greet me was you, possibly the nicest of all. Then on the table there was abunch of roses, a plant and some peonies, and more arrived during the day.

I got masses of things from Mummy and Daddy, and was thoroughly spoil by various friends. Amongst other things I was given “Camera Obscura,” a party game, lots of sweets, chocolates, a puzzle, a brooch, Tales and Legends of the Netherlands, by Joseph Cohen, Daisy’s Mountain Holiday ( a wizard book), and some money. Now I can buy The Myths of Greece and Rome-grand!

Then Lies came to fetch me and we went to school. During break I stood everyone sweet biscuits, and then we had to go back to our lessons.

Now I must stop. Bye-bye, we’re going to be great pals!

Monday, 15th June, 1942

I had my birthday party on Sunday afternoon. We showed a film The Lighthouse Keeper with Rin-Tin-Tin, which my school friends thoroughly enjoyed. We had a lovely time. There were lots of girls and boys. Mummy always want to know whom I’m going to marry. Little does she guess that it’s Peter Wessel; one day I managed, without blushing or flickering an eyelid, to get that idea right out of her mind. For years Lies Goosens and Sanne Houtman have been my best friends. Since then, I’ve got to know Jopie de Waal at the Jewish Secondary School. we are together a lot and she is now my best friend girl. Lies is more friendly with another girl, and Sanne goes to a different school, where she has made new friends.

diari anne frank sendiri terbit dalam beberapa versi. versi yang pertama tahun 1947 dengan sampul putih dan ada gambar foto dia setengah terbakar "the diary of anne frank"...

dia juga punya kumpulan cerita dengan judul tales from the secret annex.

diari yang lain dengan kover merah hati "the diary of a young girl"..the definitive edition. bedanya dengan yang pertama adalah versi ini mendapat tambahan kira2 30% dari versi pertama. soalnya diari anne kan tidak diterbitkan utuh. beberapa bagian diedit oleh sang ayah otto frank. terutama pandangan anne tentang s e x u a l i t y-nya sebagai remaja menuju dewasa, dan juga kritikannya terhadap orang2 sekitar dia terutama ibunya. bagian itu dianggap terlalu pribadi oleh otto. dan juga ada ketakutan tentang penilain pembaca terhadap karakter anne, kalau membaca 'ketidakcocokan' anne dengan sang ibu.
diari ini sendiri dianggap menampilkan anne yang lebih manusiawi. bahwa sama seperti remaja pada umumnya dia juga punya sifat yang negatif. dia bukannya malaikat. dia punya sisi lemah, dan semua ditampilkan apa adanya.

anne mulai menulis diari dari 12 juni 1942 (umur 13 tahun) sampai 1 agustus 1944. tadinya dia nulis untuk pribadi saja. tapi satu hari (1944), gerrit bolkenstein mengumumkan di radio bahwa setelah perang dia berharap bisa mengumpulkan data saksi mata penderitaan warga belanda di bawah jerman, yang akan disebarkan secara luas pada publik. sebagai contoh secara khusus gerrit menyebut surat2 dan diari.

terpengaruh dengan berita ini, anne mutusin setelah perang berakhir dia bakal mempublikasikan buku yang berdasarkan diarinya. mulailah anne menulis ulang dan mengedit beberapa bagian diarinya. memperbaiki textnya, membuang alineia yang dia anggap kurang menarik dan menambahkan hal2 dari memorinya. pada saat yang sama dia tetap menulis juga diari orisinalnya.

waktu anne dan keluarganya ditangkap, miep gies dan bep voskuijl (yang banyak membantu mereka selama dalam persembunyian) menemukan diari anne berceceran di lantai. oleh miep diari itu disimpan. setelah perang usai dan tahu bahwa anne sudah meninggal, miep ngasih diari itu balik ke otto frank (ayah anne) tanpa dibaca.

beberapa lama kemudian, otto memutuskan untuk menerbitkan diari itu sesuai keinginan anne. dia memilih materi dari 2 versi diari anne (yang asli dan yand direncanakan anne untuk publikasi) dan kemudian dikenal dalam versi 'the diary of a young girl'

dalam 'menyusun' diari ini otto mengalami banyak dilema. awalnya, buku ini harus singkat sehingga sesuai dengan syarat yang ditetapkan penerbit belanda. karena itu beberapa bagian mengenai s e x u a lity anne tidak dipublikasikan. lagian di tahun 1947 bukanlah hal yang lumrah untuk nulis tentang s e x u a lity, apalagi buku buat remaja atau kategori young adults. selain itu untuk menghormati beberapa pihak (ibu anne, dan temen2 lainnya yang sama2 dipersembunyian) otto juga menghilangkan bagian2 yg terlalu 'tajam' yang ditulis anne tanpa tedeng aling2.

waktu otto meninggal 1980, dia mewariskan manuskrip anne pada the netherlands state institute for war documentation di amsterdam. karena banyak yang mempertanyakan tentang keaslian diari ini sejak penerbitannya, institut kemudian mengadakan penelitian mendalam. setelah terbukti kalo diari ini orisinal tulisan anne, maka di publikasikan secara lengkap sekalian dengan studi penelitiannya {the diary of anne frank: the critical edition). edisi ini memuat versi pertama, versi orisinal, dan versi the diary of a young girl, juga artikel latar belakang keluarga frank, situasi penangkapan dan deportasi, pemeriksaan tulisan tangan anne, dll....

the anne frank fonds (anne frank foundation) di Basel (swiss), yg juga diwariskan copyrights anne oleh otto frank memutuskan untuk menerbitkan edisi baru yang lebih lengkap. edisi baru ini sama sekali tidak akan mempengaruhi edisi2 yang sudah terbit.

di diari anne (versi yang ditujukan untuk publikasi), anne menciptakan nama samaran untuk orang2 sekeliling dia. awalnya dia sendiri mengubah namanya jadi anne aulis en belakangan jadi anne robin.

otto frank sendiri memilih untuk tetap memakai nama asli bagi anggota keluarganya, dan memakai nama samaran untuk yang lainnya (untuk menghormati privacy mereka).

nama2 asli mereka

auguste van pels, hermann van pels, peter van pels (nama yang diberi anne di manuskripnya petronella, hans dan alfred van daan, dan dibuku petronella, hermann dan peter van daan)

fritz pfeffer (di manuskrip dan bukunya: alfred dussel).

setelah ditangkap, mereka dibawa ke penjara di amsterdam. lalu ditransfer ke westerbork, camp transit untuk yahudi di bagian utara belanda. bulan sep mereka di deportasi ke auschwitz (polandia). dari sana anne dan kakaknya margot dipindahkan ke bergen belsen (akhir october). musim dingin 1944-45 wabah tipus muncul, akibat kejorokan tempat itu, dan margot serta ribuan tawanan lain meninggal.. dan beberapa hari kemudian anne. anne meninggal kira2 akhir feb atau awal maret. kedua mayat mereka kemungkinan dibuang di pekuburan massal di bergen belsen. kamp itu dibebaskan tentara inggris bulan april 12, 1945.
otto frank adalah satu2nya yang selamat dari kamp. setelah auschwitz dibebaskan tentara rusia, dia balik ke amsterdam dan tinggal dari 1945 - 1953, lalu pindah ke basel (swiss). dia kawin lagi sama elfriede markovits geiringer, yang juga selamat dari auschwitz.

ada yang menarik. gue sempet baca satu artikel yang meneliti tentang hubungan anne dan ibunya yang gak bisa akur. emang biasa kalau anak perempuan berbeda pendapat dengan ibunya. tapi anne benar2 nunjukin kemuakan sama sang ibu. ada satu jenis kondisi kejiwaan yang disebut oedipus complex (ingat malin kundang?) yaitu anak lelaki mempunyai s e x u a l desire terhadap ibunya, karena itu menjadi hostile kepada ayah karena dianggap rival(menurut sigmund freud). nah, si anne frank ini kemungkinan mengidap lawan dari oedipus complex itu yaitu electra complex. keliatan sekali dari sikapnya yang memuja sang ayah dengan sangat berlebihan, bahkan sampai cemburu pada saudara ce dan ibunya sendiri. wajar bagi anak perempuan untuk dekat pada ayahnya, tapi dikasus anne ini emang terasa tidak normal.

[bintangkecil]

MD apa kabar? udah beres masalahna?:)

eniwei, baca diari anne frank itu menyentuh sekali.. banyak kalimat dia yang brought tears to my eyes..:(

apalagi cerita pas dia 'jatuh cinta' sama peter van daan...
disatu alinea dia bilang gini:

"He thinks we women are pretty tough. why on earth? my life here has improved, greatly improved. god has not left me alone and will not leave me alone"....

anne merasa peter adalah kiriman dari tuhan untuk menguatkan dia.
"now god has sent me a helper- peter..i just clasp my pendant and kiss it, and think of myself "what do i care about the lot of them! peter belongs to me and no one know anything about it" this way i can get over all the snubs i receive. who would ever think that so much can go on in the soul of a young girl?

so sweet and touching. kalo baca diari ini, kita jadi sadar manusia itu emang evil dalam situasi tertentu. jadi bukan manusia seperti binatang (gue menentang statement ini:D). karena binatang pun tidak akan bisa sejahat manusia (kalo lagi jahat:D).

[morningdew]

allo bincil, masalahnya udah beres, thanks :)

soal Anne Frank, gue punya bukunya yang cover putih dengan foto dia itu. gue pertama baca tahun 1978. pas gue balik ke indo, itu buku dipinjem ama temen gue dan nggak balik sampe sekarang :( gue liat sih yang cover merah keluaran sekarang, juga yang putih, but i still miss my old Anne Frank Diary :(

anyway, waktu gue ke Belanda, gue sempet datengin tuh Secret Annex nya dia. kasian banget ya, sempit gitu :( waktu gue nonton Life Is Beautiful nya Roberto Benigni, gue langsung inget ama kisah si Anne ini yang kemana2 harus pake bintang kuning.

you know what? i believe all human are basically decent, deep down inside. it's just that some choose to stay decent & the others choose to be evil. i think being decent or evil is a matter of choice that only we ourselves can make :)

okay, lanjut lagi deh soal Anne Frank nya :)

[amerdhi]

Hallo Morningdew! Kebetulan ogut studi di jerman, dan selalu tertarik sama sejarah Holocaust/kekejian Nazi. Gue pernah lewatin kamp konsentrasi Bergen Belsen (deket kota gue) di mana Anne Frank meninggal (kalo nggak salah beberapa bulan sebelum perang berakhir). Trus di Jerman seh dah terbit buku diary anne frank yang terbaru. Buku ini konon lebih lengkap daripada buku yang sebelumnya,yang banyak diedit oleh Otto Frank ayahnya (satu2xnya anggota keluarga yang selamat, meninggal di tahun 80-an) karena menceritakan hal hal yang bersifat pribadi.

[amerdhi]

Morningdew menulis :

Dalam konteks Anne Frank:
Lalu tipe manusia yang mana di bawah ini ?

Yang memilih diam walaupun melihat deportasi dan mendengar pembantaian di kamp2x konsentrasi seperti kebanyakan masyarakat jerman pada masa itu. Atau anggota Nazi seperti Adolf Eichmann (operator deportasi),dalam pembelaannya di depan pengadilan Israel (1967) dia mengatakan bahwa dia takut melanggar hukum yang berlaku, jika ia melalaikan perintah. Eichmann hanyalah sebuah skrup,dalam rencana besar Hitler.

[bintangkecil]

hmm gue jadi tertarik juga beli itu diary baru anne yang lebih lengkap...

eniwei, morningdew gue sih gak percaya kalo deep down inside human is basically decent... gue percaya that there are people who prefer to live their life in filth. who are born evil and will do horrible things to others.
dalam konteks ini si hitler, atau abusive people...

gue memang percaya bahwa under certain circumstance, mungkin saja good people can/will occasionally do bad things, and bad people can/will occasionally do good things. tapi tetap aja ada yang prefer to do abhorent things to others. and enjoy it.. dan kayaknya gak jauh2 contohnya lagi dialamin negara kita...:(

[bintangkecil]

tadi gue liat di times ada versi baru diari anne frank . mungkin ini yang dimaksud kali ya? (sama siapa nih diatas.. sori lupa gue nicknya) ditambah dengan cerita kondisi anne di camp. katanya itu didapat dari keterangan otto frank. gue tertarik banget beli. tapi mahal lho... ampir no pek cheng...:(
nanti aja deh.. tunggu ilham...:D

[hansel]

Daripada kelamaan nunggu ilham mending nyari subsidi :D

[morningdew]

bincil & amerdhi, kita cuma beda perspektif aja kok :) waktu gue bilang all humans are basically decent, gue punya keyakinan bahwa semua manusia dilahirkan dalam keadaan yang gue sebut "decent" tadi. what they experience in life yang mengakibatkan mereka memilih jalan hidup yang mereka tempuh. bisa jahat, bisa baik. manusia kayak hitler memilih untuk jadi orang jahat dan bangga dengan kejahatannya. itu gue setuju. tapi tetep menurut gue : being decent or not is a matter of choice.

amerdhi, bisa tolong kasih tau judul buku yang lo liat itu apa? thanks ya? :)

bincil, ke limma gak hari ini? kayaknya sore ntar gue mau kesana deh :)

[bintangkecil]

hansel maksud gue dengan menunggu ilham adalah menunggu ada orang lain yang mendapat ilham untuk beliin gue buku ini alias sama aja dengan nunggu di subsidi:D

MD okelah...:D

[/b] “Tales From The Secret Annex” by Anne Frank[/b]

kumpulan cerita ini ditulis Anne Frank dalam persembunyian. Isinya adalah koleksi cerita pendek, fabel, kenangan2 pribadi, dan novel yang gak selesai. Juga ada sedikit bagian diary yang diedit oleh ayahnya.

Bagian pembukaan ada tulisan:

Wisdom from a young girl’s heart

If only our country and then Europe and finally the whole world would realize that people were really kindly disposed toward one another, that they are all equal and everything else is just transitory!
Open your eyes… give of yourself, give as much as you can! And you can always, always give something even if it only kindness! No one has ever become poor from giving! If you do this, then in a few generations no one will need to pity the beggar children anymore, because they will not exist!
There is plenty of room for everyone in the world, enough money, riches, and beauty for all to share! God has made enough for everyone. Let us all begin by sharing it fairly.

Isi bukunya:

Fables and short stories:
Kitty, the porter’s family, eve’s dream, paula’s plane trip, kathy, the flower girl, the guardian angel, fear, the wise old dwarf, blurry the explorer, the fairy, rita, jackie, cady’s life.

Personal reminiscences and essays:

Do you remember?, the flea, the battle of the potatoes, villains!, my first day at the lyceum, a lecture in biology, a geometry lesson, roomers or subtenants, dreams of movie stardom, Sunday, my first article, the sink of iniquity, happiness, give, who is interesting, why?


taken from “tales of the secret annex” by anne frank


WHY
Essay by anne frank.

The little word “why” has been a very strong thing with me ever since I was a tiny little girl and couldn’t even speak properly, it is a well known fact that little children ask questions about everything because they are unfamiliar with everything. This was very much the case with me, but even when I grew older I couldn’t wait to ask all kinds of questions, whether they could be answered or not. This is not so terrible in itself and I must say that my parents tried to answer every one of my questions very patiently. Until… I began even badgering strangers, and they generally can’t stand “children’s endless questions.” I must admit that this can be very tiresome, but I console myself with the idea that there is a saying that “you must ask in order to know,” which couldn’t be completely true, otherwise I’d be a professor by now.

When I grew older, I realized that it is not possible to ask every kind of question to everyone and that there are many “ahy’s” that cannot be answered. It then followed from that that I tried to help myself by starting to think out these questions on my own. So I came to the important discovery that questions which one mustn’t ask can be solved by oneself. Therefore, the little word “why” taught me not only to ask but to think.

Now as to the second part of the word “why”. How would it be if everyone who did anything asked himself first, “why?” I think they would then become more honest and much, much better people. Fro the best way to become honest and good is to keep examining oneself without stopping. I can imagine that the last thing people like to do is to confess to themselves their faults and their bad side (which everyone has). This is the case with children as well as grownups – in that respect I don’t see any difference. Most people think parents should try to educate their children and see to it themselves that their characters develop as well as possible. This is certainly untrue. Children ought to educate themselves from their earliest youth and must try to show real character by themselves. Many will think this is crazy, but it isn’t. even a very small child is a little personality and has a conscience and should be brought up by being treated this way, so that it will feel that its own conscience is punishing it in the harshest way possible. When children reach the age of fourteen or fifteen, every punishment is ridiculous. Such a child knows very well that no one, not even his own parents, can get anywhere with punishments and spankings. By arguing reasonably and by showing the child the mistakes it is making, one would get much better results than by strong punishments.

But here, I don’t want to sound pedantic, but only to say that in the life of every child and every man, the little word “why” plays a big part, and rightly so. The saying. “you must ask in order to know.” Is true in so far as it leads to thinking about things, and by thinking nobody can ever get worse but will only get better.



KATHY
short story by anne frank

February 11, 1944

Kathy sat on the big boulder that lay in the sun in front of the farm. She was thinking, thinking very hard. Katy was one of those quiet girls. What the youngster in the dirndl apron was thinking about, she alone knew, she never told her thoughts to anyone – she was much too withdrawn for that. She had no friends and probably would have found it hard to get any. Her mother found her a strange child, and the pity of it was that kathy felt that. Her father, the farmer, was much too busy to concern himslef with his only little daughter. And so kathy was always by herself. It didn’t disturb her, she didn’t know any better and was soon satisfied.

But on this warm summer evening she sighed deeply as she looked up and glanced at the cornfields. How jolly it would be to play with those girls over there. Look, they ran about, laughed, what fun they were having! Now the children came closer, and still closer – would they come to her? Oh, how awful, they came – but to laugh at her. She clearly heard them mention her name, not her real name, but the nickname that she hated so much and that she often heard the children whisper – Crazykate!

Oh, how miserable she felt, if she could only run into the house, but if she did, the children would laugh at her all the more. Poor girl, it surely isn’t the first that you have felt so forsaken and envied the other youngsters.

“kathy! Kathy, come home! We are having supper!” Another sigh and the child slowly rose to obey her mother.

“My, what a cheerful face! We surely have a happy daughter!” the farmer’s wife cried when the child,more slowly and more depressed than ever, entered the room,
“Can’t you say something for yourself?” scolded the woman. Her tone was more unfriendly than she herself knew; her daughter never had been the bright, lively girl she had always wanted.
“yes, Mother,” whispered the child
“you’re a fine one, staying away all morning and not doing a stroke of work. Where have you been?”
“Outside.” Kathy felt as though she had a gag in her throat, but the mother misunderstood the girl’s embarassement and now really become curious where the child had been all morning. Again she asked.:
“answer me properly, I want to know where you have been, do you understand? I can’t stand that everlasting, slow-witted, crazy behavior!”

at the word that reminded her of the detested nickname, kathy lost control of herself and burst into tears.
“What is the matter now? You’re a real coward! Can’t you tell me where you’ve been hanging out. Or is that perhaps a big secret?”

The child could not possibly answer, violent sobs kept her from speaking. Suddenly, she upset a chair, ran weeping out of the room and up to the attic, where she sank down on some bags in a corner, sobbing as if her heart would break.
The mother shrugged her shoulders as she cleared the table downstars, she wasn’t surprised at her child’s conduct. Such “crazy” moods were not unusual, she decided to let the girl alone – there was nothing to be gained, and the everlasting tears were always on the point of coming. A fine specimen of a twelve years old farmer’s daughter!

In the attic, Kathy had calmed down somewhat and was collecting her thoughts. She would presently go downstairs, tell her mother that she had simply been sitting on the boulder by the door and thinking about things, and offer to finish all of the work that afternoon. Her mother then would surely understand that she did not mind the work, and should she be asked why she had been sitting still all morning, she would answer that there was something important she HAD to figure out. Then, in the evening, when she had to deliver the eggs, she would buy a pretty, silver, glittering thimble for her mother, she had just enough money to buy one in the village.

Mother would realize that she wasn’t so slow witted and crazy, after all. Oh, if she could only get rid of that dreadful nickname! Here was a thought. If she had any money left over after buying the thimble, she’d get a bag of sweets and on her way to school divide them among the girls. Then they’d like her and ask her to play with them. They would soon see that she was as good at games as anyone, and nobody would ever call her anything but Kathy after that.

Softly she descended the stairs. When she met her mother in the passage, all courage to talk and explain the morning’s absence left her, and she quickly started cleaning the windows, one of her regular tasks.
It was almost sundown when Kathy took the basket of eggs and began her rounds. After a half hour’s walk she reached the first customer, who stood in her doorway, dish in hand.
I’ll take ten tonight, my child,” said the friendly woman. She counted off ten and, with a greeting, continued on her way.

In three quarters of an hour the basket was empty, and Kathy stepped into the small general store. A pretty thimble and a bagful of sweets were soon put into the basket, and now Kathy turned back toward home. About halfway, she saw two of the girls who had teased her in the morning coming toward her. She bravely suppressed a longing to hide, and, her heart beating wildly, she went on.
“Look! Here comes Crazykate!”

At her wit’s end, Kathy took the bag of sweets from her basket and politely held it out to the children. They quickly grabbed it from her and ran away with it. One of them stuck out her tongue at Kathy.

Lonesome and heartbroken, Kathy sat down in the grass at the edge of the road, and wept, wept, and wept. Finally, in the dark, she dried her tears, picked up the basket, and slowly set off in the direction of home.
Somewhere in the grass, the thimble glittered.
