Abstract:
In response to an invite to participate in a prison diary writing program by the Anne Frank Center, USA (based in New York, N.Y.), Williams immediately began a daily diary fashioned after Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
Anne Frank, a spunky, precocious Jewish teen wrote her diary while hiding in Amsterdam during World War 11. She died after seven months in a German concentration camp at the tender age of fifteen. She named her diary “Kitty,” and Williams followed her style of personification by naming his diary friend “Lourdes.”
