I love the story of Frank.
Is there a similar story from someone, as powerful, from the Communist era?
Funny you never hear of those.
You might want to rephrase that. But, yes, there are a number of stories like this about communism.
When I was 12 or 13, an Army brat living in Germany - mid 60’s, Dad took the family on a European history tour. Visiting the concentration camp at Dachau and standing in Anne Frank’s home in Amsterdam had more impact on defining who I am than anything else in my youth. Understanding what a government can do to people who are denied the rights to defend themselves probably has much to do with why I am a conservative - and ardent 2nd amendment supporter..
