This is a book I read over and over growing up. Anne's account of her family's struggles under Nazi rule is both wonderfully optimistic and sobering. Knowing how it ends while reading about her hopes and dreams also made it terribly tragic. Her writing is extremely articulate and her views, mature.
All in all, her diary is an invaluable source of insight to the suffering of Jewish families at the time (although likely biased at times, as first-person narratives tend to be) and an irreplaceable part of history.
To me personally, Anne's diary made World War II much more real(?) and reminds me to be grateful for the many small joys in life.

Why do people rate diaries?
These are Annes deepest thoughts in the time of war...
How can you feel the need to rate it.
I just dont get it.

Al comienzo me gusto bastante, lo leí en cuarentena entonces leía como Anna y su familia pasaban por cosas similares pero peores que las mías y aun así tenían una sonrisa. Pero a medida que el libro avanzo se estanco y Anna no hablaba de otra cosa que de riñas o de Peter, ohhh Peter me ama o Peter no me ama. Se volvió muy repetitivo en ese sentido.
Quede muy desilusionada por que esta chiquilla no hace otra cosa que pensar en Peter, teniendo problemas mas importantes como el holocausto a la vuelta de la esquina. Por eso un libro tan corto me llevo tanto leerlo.

An important historical document. Very informative, humanising and sad. But it is still a child's diary so parts were a bit tedious, it would be weird if that weren't the case

Deeply saddening reading about this young girl's life in hiding, knowing how difficult her relationship was with her parents and being subject to blame and scolding for simply being a terrified child.
Of course a big portion of this diary is actually relatively lighthearted as Frank still finds joy in life, especially her friendship with Peter and the crush she had on him, I think it's what made it hard to finish, knowing the diary has no more entries because they were found before Anne could write any more. She was an incredibly thoughtful and clever 14 and 15 year old. It was easy to forget at times how young the author was at times.
That the holocaust ever happened is just unthinkable, that so many died for their race. Heinous, absolutely heinous.

I somehow had never read this before now, and I'm glad I did. There was a lot more humor in it than I was expecting. It made the end even more sad.
