The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

4.75

emotional funny inspiring tense fast-paced

---

A powerful, heartfelt read that humanizes the atrocities of the Holocaust in a way few other works can. Anne’s writing brings her life in hiding to vivid, relatable detail; her struggles with sexuality, family, and first love could easily belong to a modern teenager. Her humor and wit shine through, offering moments of laughter even in the darkest of times. This is a book that reminds us of the humanity behind every victim of war, and I’d recommend it to anyone who hasn’t yet read it.
