Without a doubt this book gets 5 stars. It’s incredibly personal and heartbreaking knowing the ending before the diary is read.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.”
Reading this many years after it was assigned at school was a different experience. This addition was definitely not the one we read at school. I’m glad they included everything she ever wrote instead of censoring it.
Firstly, she was a great writer. I can’t believe she rewrote and edited it all because she knew the government would use it one day.
Also, she was a savage teenager. I loved it. And going through all the angst a typical teenager goes through. But she was incredibly smart and was talking about such mature topics. Her views about the patriarchy were spot on too.
Peter died 3 days…3 DAYS…before it was liberated 😭

Anne Frank is an optimistic young girl that can do just about anything she sets her heart to. Anne's diary gives you an inside look on her feelings during WWI, and how she felt about being in hiding. In the beginning of the book Anne names her diary "Kitty" which mosts people seem to forget. So, every entry begins with "Dear Kitty". The way that Anne's diary is written shocks the reader in such a way that it does not seem like a thirteen year old girl. Anne's interpretations makes her seem older than her age, but she is very mischievous. Throughout Anne's diary she always reminds herself to see the good in people and to be her own person. Therefore, I would recommend reading Anne's diary for anyone looking to see a young Jewish girl's point of view,in hiding, during WWI.
