"I do not think about all the sufferings. I think about the beauty that still remains".

It is a quote from the “Diary of Anne Frank”, one of the most sensitive novels of all times. Everyone knows her story, her diary was translated into sixty languages, it is in the list of the most important books of the century, and it became a part of the UNESCO Memory of the Register.

The life of the young Anne and her family became the quintessential of fate of all Jews in Europe during the Holocaust. But there were thousands of similar stories.

This week the world saw a book of a woman who, just like Anne Frank, knew the horrors of the Holocaust. 89-year-old Carrie Ulreich is from Netherlands is called “Rotterdam’s Anne Frank”, because she decided to tell the story of her life.

Her family, as well as 140,000 other Jews families in Netherlands, had to flee from persecution. She was nearly sixteen years, so she took all the events closely to her young heart.

Ulreichs settled at home of the Dutch couple called Zijlmans. These people were devout Catholics, so they followed the commandment to "love thy neighbor as thyself." To save a Jewish family, the good people gave them their bedroom, and began to live in the cellar, with bags of potatoes nearby. Also they ceased to communicate with anyone, because were afraid to be caught.

According to Carrie Ulreich, the fact, that her family managed to survive - is a miracle, and it is connected with supreme providence. Zionists Ulreichs spent a lot of time in discussions with CatholicsZijlmans . In that way days, months and even years passed.

Now Carrie Ulreich is 89. In comparison to Anne Frank, her story ended quite differently. She is married, gave birth to three children, she has 20 grandchildren and 60 great-grandchildren.

Zijlmans family name is forever inscribed to the list of Righteous Among the Nations.

I am sure that histories of life of people like Anne Frank and Carrie Ulreich should be known by everyone. One of them showed to the world the truth about the Holocaust through the child’s eyes. The second teaches us that in spite of all, we should believe, sacrifice for the good of others, and support each other. These eternal truths have to be written in our hearts forever.
