THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK IS 'A MONUMENT TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT'One of the most famous accounts of living under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist Mirjam Pressler, this is a true story to be rediscovered by each new generation._________________________________12th July 1944: 'It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.'In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged thirteen, Anne kept a diary of her time in the secret annexe. She movingly revealed how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with hunger, the daily threat of discovery and death and isolation from the outside world. A thought-provoking record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a testament to the atrocities of the past and a promise they will never be forgotten. _________________________________ 'One of the greatest books of the century' Guardian'Rings down the decades as the most moving testament to the persecution of innocence' Daily Mail 'Astonishing and excruciating. Its gnaws at us still' New York Times Book Review Read more

Women sometimes refer to 50 as their "second youth," the age at which they can finally live life to the fullest. To look and feel fresh after fifty, you don't always have to ditch your go-to look and go for something completely different. It is logical to go for more aggressive haircuts as you age to counterbalance the softening of your features. This becomes even more significant when you opt to go gray with hair. Since bangs typically make women appear younger, there's no reason to give up on this appearance if you're accustomed to wearing them. Choose gentle side waves or bangs that fall halfway between your eyebrows. A cheeky pixie, a short-to-medium bob, or any other short hairstyle that gives your mane more volume and texture is preferable if your hair is fine. Lengthy and layered medium hairstyles look great on thick hair, but you may attempt anything from lengthy bobs to extremely short pixie cuts. Women over 50 also begin coloring their hair more frequently to hide gray hairs. Blondish or caramel tints are popular among older ladies since they are simpler to maintain. The combination of highlights and lowlights with gray hair is a common choice for ladies over fifty. Conversely, sophisticated darker hues like dark chocolate, auburn, and burgundy can look amazing on senior citizens. After a certain age, we question how to maintain our youthful appearance without sacrificing grace and respectability. The ability to age with style has always been more highly regarded, and having the appropriate haircut is essential to projecting this image. Demonstrate your potential beauty when you're older than 50. Examine and select the top 50 hairstyles to highlight your sophisticated beauty. Read more
