Passing by Anne Frank St in Tel Aviv has inspired us to take a fresh look at the young diarist whose words inspired the world.

Before she died in Bergen Belsen, Anne Frank said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are, at heart, really good.”

The English edition of her diary was introduced by Eleanor Roosevelt, and it was read by Nelson Mandela in prison for inspiration.
