Then i walked into mr. and mrs. frank's bedroom. on the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary that anne had received from her father on her thirteenth birthday. i pointed it out to elli. obeying my gesture, she leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my hands. i remembered how happy anne had been to receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. i knew how precious her diary was to anne. my eyes scanned the rubble for more of anne's writings, and i saw the old accounting books and many more writing papers that elli and i had given to her when she had run out of pages in the checkered diary. elli was still very scared, and looked to me for direction. i told elli, " me pick up all anne's writings." which theme can be inferred from this excerpt?
