FRITZ PFEFFER

     
     
     
     (born April 30, 1889, in Giessen, Germany):
     
     Called by Anne, in her manuscript and in the book: Alfred Dussel.
     
     The reader may wish to bear in mind that much of this edition is based on the b version of Annes diary, which she wrote when she was around fifteen years old.
     
     Occasionally, Anne went back and commented on a passage she had written earlier.
     
     These comments are clearly marked in this edition. Naturally, Annes spelling and linguistic errors have been corrected. Otherwise, the text has basically been left as she wrote it, since any attempts at editing and clarification would be inappropriate in a historical document.
     
     I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.
