The reasons this weren’t a five star review from me is because I didn’t exactly find myself completely compelled to go onto the next page nor do I think I would have typically picked up a book about a 13 to 15-year-old’s life besides the political and historical context. For the context however, I think this is a vital read to understand just one person’s perspective of eight people in this mass genocide.

venetiana's review against another edition
It sounds so much like badly acted contemporary German theatre, it almost felt disrespectful to Anne's thoughtful, vulnerable, honest, sensitive writing.
I sincerely hope you read it before you venture into the German audio book.

And what about us? We aren't allowed to have an opinion! My, my, aren't they progressive! Not have an opinion! People can tell you to shut up, but they can't keep you from having an opinion. You can't forbid someone to have an opinion, no matter how young they are!"
This is where Mother and I differ greatly. Her advice in the face of melancholy is: ‘Think about all the suffering in the world and be thankful you’re not part of it.’ My advice is: ‘Go outside, to the country, enjoy the sun and all nature has to offer. Go outside and try to recapture the happiness within yourself; think of all the beauty in yourself and in everything around you and be happy.’
I don’t think Mother’s advice can be right, because what are you supposed to do if you become part of the suffering? You’d be completely lost. On the contrary, beauty remains, even in misfortune.
Oh, it's sad, very sad that the old adage has been confirmed for the umpteenth time: what one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does reflects on all Jews.
The world's been turned upside down. The most decent people are being sent to concentration camps, prisons and lonely cells, while the scum of the earth rules over young and old, rich and poor. One gets caught for black marketeering, another for hiding Jews or other unfortunate souls. Unless you're a Nazi, you don't know what's going to happen to you from one day to the next.
