Two-year old Miguel saw a book about Anne Frank and asked his mother, "Who is she?" To avoid the heavy topic of the cruelty of war and its effect on innocent people, his mother explained in the simplest possible way that Anne Frank lived in Amsterdam and was one of the Jews imprisoned by German soldiers.
Miguel gave a moment's pause as he scrunched his eyebrows together. Apparently in deep thought, he asked, "So Anne Frank lived in Hamster-dam? And the bad soldiers put her in jail because she spilled her Juice?"
