About This Quote
Breaking down fear was always my greatest challenge, and it was made easier by the careful work and gentle voices of my female workers. This quote is written by Anne Frank, the only Jewish teenager to survive during the Holocaust. Her diary gave insight into what her family went through during their hiding in an annex of their house in Amsterdam. As they hid from the Nazi forces during World War II, Anne Frank's family was forced to become more efficient with their time.
To help them do this, they hired a few female workers to help with the cleaning and other tasks. Anne Frank writes about how these women helped her process her trauma. They made sure that she was able to do everything that she needed to do each day.
