    I understand a lot of people read it at school. We didn't though. Hells bells. I don't know what I was expecting - obviously I knew the subject matter - but still. To think that when they got betrayed they were so close to freedom and the train they got loaded into was the last one the Nazis had the opportunity to send from Holland. Even then when she was sent to Auswitz and subsequently Bergen Bensen, she was only weeks away from liberation before she died of Typhus. And she was just one of millions who died.

    The Mrs and I visited the house of Anne Frank while having a break in Amsterdam. If you take the time to watch all the videos and read the notices it is a very moving experience. It actually had the wife in tears. The bit that got me was seeing her actual pencil drawing on the wall paper. You could almost hear the Nazis outside on the cobbles.

    Always liked the bit where his patents were fighting to not have custody of Adrian.

    I saw a three part dramatisation of the days leading up to the first world war. Well I saw the first two parts - nobody tell me how it ends.
