It feels so wrong that I have to rate this diary.
At the beginning it was just the normal life of Anne. Her insights about her classmates and such. Then they got into hiding because of the war after Anne's thirteenth birthday.
Then the diaries were about their life in the secret annex. I got to know more about Anne, her sister Margot, the parent's of Anne, the Van Daan's, Peter, Dussel, and Peter's cat Mouschi, and all the kindhearted helpers of the family.
It is such a surreal experience having to read about their life in the annex. Reading what their day was like in 1942-1944. It's surreal knowing what happened in their day to day life in this time of the year 2024.
Reading it feels like I was also with them, like I also knew them personally.
When I was at the end of Anne's diary, I knew already what had happened to them. I felt my stomach drop when it ended. No goodbyes no anything. Just the End. They must've been so terrified when they heard the car outside. I know Anne is petrified, she was always so so scared when she thinks someone now knows that they are hiding in the Annex.
The sorrow I felt reading what had happened to them in the morning of August 4, 1944 and what soon happened to them after. This is an eye-opening to what the war had caused.
