This was a highly educational and emotional book about the lives of 8 Jewish people in hiding during WW2. Though there were some parts that dragged on a bit, I cannot at all criticize them seeing as this is the diary of a teenage girl with no socialization outside of the 7 people she lived with. I understand what others say about Anne complaining a lot, but once again she was in a small place with 7 other people for two years, so she’s bound to complain. Overall this was sad and interesting.

Anne Frank didn't write about the Holocaust (as it was not known in its entirety until after her death), but elements of Germany's machinations are hinted at and referenced to unknowingly so CW for Holocaust and genocide.
