Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. People in the office asked to see Anne's diary. My answer was always "No. It's not
right. Even though it's the writings of a child, it's hers and it's her secret. I'll only return it back into her hands, and her hands alone." I was haunted by the fact that some more of Anne's pages remained cast around on the floor in the hiding place. I was afraid to go back up there, as Silberbauer had already checked on me several times. He'd just pop his head in, saying, "I'm just making sure you haven't gone." I said nothing by way of reply. He'd seen what he wanted, that I hadn't gone anywhere. He'd turn and leave. I was afraid to go behind the bookcase again. It was very hard for me to look at the rooms with the people gone. I couldn't face going back upstairs. Which line from the passage supports the theme "People’s possessions deserve respect”?
