What made Anne hopeful when the papist were over thrown in Italy ?

The defeat of the Fascist party in Italy (banning) was great news politically. It signaled internal discord, and the cohesion needed to keep facism alive was beginning to deteriorate. Italy surrendered to the Allied Powers on September 8. While this is good for the long term of the war, life in Holland is still strict: Dussel endangers their lives by asking Miep to bring him a book that was banned by the Germans, and Mr. Koophius has to go to the hospital for an abdominal operation and long recovery.
