Just another diary, but not just another diary. When I finished the book (diary, of course), I felt tremendously sad - realizing the fact that she dies a while after that last entry I read - as though I lost an old friend. Anne is a bit like myself. I could relate. The book just describes the way she grows into the surroundings, with her new family, the new life. The way she approaches adolescence with all the dullness surrounding her with the war. The way her intellectual maturity grows. Just another girl. But not just another girl.

Not much to say about this one. It was so interesting to read Anne Frank's thoughts as she was in hiding. It felt surreal, and extremely sad when we know the outcome. I loved the context and explanation of how it all started and how the diary came to be published. This was not my usual type of read so it was a little hard to get into it, but I do not regret it, I absolutely recommend it.

Anne frank's diary is filled with the emotions of living in hiding for almost two years and how living with new people and all the rules and just the situation they live in. It sorta gives you a feel of how Jews in hiding felt but you can never really understand what they went through.

3⭐. Extrem wichtiges Buch einer Zeitzeugin der NS-Zeit. Sollte in der Schule verpflichtend gelesen werden. Ich fande es aber leider stellenweise etwas langweilig.

Amazing that Anne Frank could write so eloquently at such a young age.
