This book was a beautifully written book on the life of Anne Frank during World War 2 as she and her family hid. I loved it!

I had to read this in school when I was young, and I remember thinking it was just okay. I think whenever I had to read something as an assignment it just never seemed all that great. I also think that being older, I have acquired a bit more life experience and understanding of others along the way, along with a bit more empathy for others.
This was really so much more emotionally impactful to me as an adult.
At the beginning of her diary, Anne Frank seemed much like a normal teenager. She had relatively insignificant concerns, and wrote about her classmates in a way that most young people would. Throughout the time she writes in the diary, she becomes more educated, more mature, and more introspective. She was very intelligent and quite a good writer for her age. It was really fascinating to read her thoughts and feelings, and quite sad when it was over, knowing what happened to her afterwards.

19/100
Das Buch wird sehr hochgelobt, obwohl ich mich frage, wie viele dieser das Buch überhaupt gelesen haben und dann wiederum andere Tagebücher oder Bücher von jüdischen Zeitzeugen gelesen haben.
Das Schicksal von Anne Frank ist ohne Zweifel besonders und besonders schrecklich.
Aber Jüdin zu sein und sich verstecken zu müssen, ist noch lange kein Grund, dieses Tagebuch abdrucken zu lassen.
Ich habe es gelesen, weil ich mir ein paar mehr Hintergrundinfos über den Krieg erhofft hatte. Stattdessen bekommt man das völlig belanglose Tagebuch eines jungen Mädchens, das von sich selbst so völlig eingenommen und von seiner Intelligenz dermaßen überzeugt ist, dass man sie nicht mal sympathisch finden kann.
Schon nach wenigen Seiten geht einem das Gejammere über die ach so unfaire Behandlung von ihren Eltern und sowieso von der ganzen Welt mächtig auf die Nerven.
Aber wenn man mal einen Moment darüber nachdenkt, kann man auch keine poetischen Gedanken von einem 14-jährigen Mädchen erwarten.
Warum Anne Frank von einer „einzigartig begabten jungen Schriftstellerin“ die Rede ist, ist mir ein absolutes Rätsel.
Sie hat Tagebuch geführt und nicht einen Roman oder Sachbuch geschrieben.
Ich kann das Buch nicht gut und informativ finden, nur weil es mit der schrecklichen und wichtigen Vergangenheit zu tun hat.
Wenn Anne Frank zu einer anderen Zeit lebte, hätte sich niemand um ihr Tagebuch geschert.
Ihr Vater war der Hauptgrund, warum dieses Buch heute so bekannt ist.
Dieser hat wiederum auch einiges aus dem Tagebuch raus zensiert.

It's a must read for anyone wanting to take a glimpse into the lives of normal Jewish people/families living under the Nazi Regime.
First the the way in which its written is quite fascinating. i was very young when i read the book and up to that point i hadn't really read many books so it was a quite a fascinating experience to read a book which was essentially collection of personal entries of her diary and to see the world through the lens of anne frank who was by all means just a normal person with dreams and ambitions of her own and who had a great sense of humour albeit a bit weird in some sense. The book is completely confessional in nature in the sense that she reveals all kinds of personal feelings and thoughts and its often wonderful to see things the way she did. So the thing is i didn't know anything about anne frank beforehand so i didn't know that she had died or anything about Nazis for that matter. It was only after reading the book that i researched about nazi germany.so you can imagine my feelings while reading it.
Also the last entry in the diary doesn't leave you any clues as to what happened and i first assumed
that that is how the book was supposed to end in some sort of ambiguous/artsy fashion and that she would be some famous author by now. But it was heart wrenching to read what happened to her in the epilogue and it haunted me for quite a few days wondering that everything that she did mentioned in the diary was in vain and that the fact that she wouldn't get to realize any of her dreams or anything that other people so casually enjoy and do not appreciate. It kind of makes you value the freedom , the things you enjoy and life in general. i would say that the real strength of the book lies not in the literary technicalities although the fact that it's a basically a diary and that it doesn't have an ending in the traditional sense does add to its uniqueness but in the fact that how lovely and optimistic anne frank as a person was. Even when they were marked with yellow star and were denied all kinds of normal things that a citizen has right to avail from their country like being denied to study in normal school or that not being allowed to be in school at all or even when bombs were being dropped on them she managed to find joy in little things. It hurts to think that what could she have become if it was not for her horrible, abrupt ending. i mean i read it when i was about the same age as she is in the book so it was much more relatable and it makes you wonder on the fleeting nature of life and death.
Truly a classic!!!
