I don't get it, do you need a translation of a word, or a sentence? If so, could you post it? I don't have the book for example... Do you need it to understand better? (the book wasn't originally in English anyway, but if that's your language I guess you need it... :))

I had to translate out of my german edition, I hope this is correct;
Thursday, 29 October, 1942
Anne tells Kitty that she is worried about Daddy, who has a fever and a rash, which looks like measles. They cannot call a doctor because they are in hiding. All of Mrs. Van Daan's possessions have been taken out of her home, and no one has told her because they do not want to hear her moaning about it, since they had to leave all of their things too. Anne reads a book that mentions prostitution, and she says that she would die of shame. She writes that she longs to have her period. Mummy is making her pray with her, and while Anne finds the prayers beautiful, she does not like to be pious just to oblige.
This was on Wednesday, 5 January, 1944, not the 2nd.
Mummy has said that she thinks of her daughters as friends, but Anne writes that a friend cannot take a mother's place. She loves what is happening to her body, and her period, which is her "sweet secret." She remembers a time that she had an urge to kiss a girl friend who was sleeping over, and to feel her breasts. She longs for a girl friend.
