3rd February 1944 (Version A of the diary)
“
I’ve now reached the point where it doesn’t matter that much more to me anymore whether I die or whether I live on, the world will go on spinning without me and I can’t do anything to fight against these events anyway. I bide my time now, but if I am rescued and saved from destruction, then I would hate to have lost my diaries and my stories!
— Anne Frank
