Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.People in the office asked to see Anne's diary. My answer was always "No. It's not right. Even though it's the writings of a child, it's hers and it's her secret. I'll only return it back into her hands, and her hands alone."I was haunted by the fact that some more of Anne's pages remained cast around on the floor in the hiding place. I was afraid to go back up there, as Silberbauer had already checked on me several times. He'd just pop his head in, saying, "I'm just making sure you haven't gone." I said nothing by way of reply. He'd seen what he wanted, that I hadn't gone anywhere. He'd turn and leave.I was afraid to go behind the bookcase again. It was very hard for me to look at the rooms with the people gone. I couldn't face going back upstairs.Which line from the passage supports the theme "People’s possessions deserve respect”?
