I think what this statement means is that, nothing can keep you from using your mind. Your mind is a place of your own, and whatever they do physically to you, they cannot hurt you inside. In your mind, you can do anything. Although you may need to obey people, inside your head, they can't do anything. It is you that makes the decisions; they cannot make the choices for you. I would have to say that i agree with this statement. Whatever you think is free. Your mind cannot be put into a room and be locked. Even if it is, it is free to roam wherever pleased. Such as, in the movie, when Peter is in his room and feeling down, Anne tells him that, she sometimes imagines herself outside in the park. Although they are in hiding, and technically speaking cannot go out and walk in the park, Anne's mind is able to go outside and walk with her father. I think that this is a very powerful statement. It would have given strength to many of the victims of the Holocaust. No matter what youre going through physically, your mind would always be free.
