But there was an Anne Frank like a magazine, like an issue dedicated to Anne Frank who is a character in Stillness is the key, who I read a lot about as I was writing the book and someone who's profoundly brave and wise beyond their years person.

She very well could be alive today but she's not, she's been dead for a very long time and why has she had the impact that she's had? It's not because she was a victim. That was a thing that happened to her but what she affected, who she was, what she did was all in the pages of this little journal and I tell that story in Stillness is the key which this episode is excerpting so you can listen to that and it's actually a really moving biography of Anne Frank that we carry in the painting porch all into that in today's show notes
