On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

For my long-ago doc, I read most of this series, along with as much published & broadcast between 1936 & 1948 in Britain as I could. It has spoiled me for almost everything written since. When paper is rationed, time is tight & death is hanging about, it semms, there are no words to waste.

If you ever come across affordable copies of The Penguin New Writings collections from the 40s & 50s, I’d recommend taking a punt. For example, No 23 from 1945 👇 is a joy, with Denis Glover’s account of commanding a landing craft during the D-Day landings remaining incredibly vivid & moving.
