Categories:Non-Fiction

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl has become one of the most famous and heartbreaking documents of the twentieth century. It is the remarkable journal of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl in Amsterdam during World War II, as she and her family hid from the Nazis. Through her diary, we follow her journey from a carefree young girl, celebrating her 13th birthday, to an adolescent torn apart by war, sexual awakening, and the impending Holocaust.Anne Frank was only thirteen when she began writing her diary in 1942. She wrote her thoughts, fears, and dreams during her two-year confinement in an attic while Nazi occupation forces terrorized Holland. With a remarkable eye and ear for detail, Anne Frank conveys the daily experience of living in such isolation as well as the courage of maintaining a spirit of hope and strength in the face of unspeakable tragedy.Anne’s family was eventually discovered and deported to concentration camps, where they all perished. Miraculously, Anne’s diary was preserved by a family friend, Otto Frank, and after the war it was published. Since that time it has been read the world over and has been the source of inspiration and insight into a very dark period of human history.Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is an important and moving reminder of what can happen when hate and prejudice lead to genocide and mass suffering. This book stands as an enduring testament to the resilience of human spirit in even the darkest of times.

“The Diary of Anne Frank.” I read it when I was in the fourth grade and it showed me how a young girl from another time, place, race, culture, experience and situation could be so like me, that I could connect to her through a shared need, the necessary utterance of her words, and that my capacity for empathy could be deepened by reading the intimate account she left us in her own voice.
