I am glad I read this. I wanted to learn about Anne and her situation. What happened to her was disgusting. Reading her diary, she seemed like an intelligent and loving person. It was hard to get through at times, as she wrote about mundane things a lot. It wasn’t completely what I expected, but I learned a lot. However, I wouldn’t read it again. RIP Anne.

Now I know why most people read this book at least once in their lives. Anne's self-awareness, reflection, compassion, ability to self-soothe, and still find gratefulness in her life in one of the most horrific times in history is so humbling. She held onto her own convictions and self-worth with such strength, no matter how hopeless and lonely things became. So many of these qualities I'm only just getting the hang of in my 30s. Again, truly humbling.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is quite a powerful and insightful read. While she does talk about what it was like to hide from the Nazis, she also opened up about normal things that every teenager goes through in their lifetime.
