The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank Book Review

The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank is an amazing first hand document on what Jewish people had to go through and fear everyday of their lives. I learned about Anne's everyday life before her and her family went into hiding to save her sister Margot and stay safe as the rage of Hitler passed threw Holland and the war was over. They lived obscured in a secret annex behind a bookshelf where her father worked. The Frank family were always thinking of a way in which they could requite Mr.Kugler, Mr.Kleiman, Miep, and Bep Voskuijl for keeping their secret and helping them survive. When they first arrive3d they had a dearth amount of food but Miep would constantly get them food and other supplies they might need and they were very grateful for that. The family showed a lot of diligence during the working hours so they wouldn't get caught or start suspicions and so that they wouldn't get caught doing their small jobs so that they all contribute to the house hold. Mr.Frank made a discretion to allow another family to live with them in the annex especially since they were pretty good friends and neighbors.

When the family first came into the annex Anne abhorred them because Peter would always make fun of her and bother her in a way that Anne was never treated and wanted him to stop. Peter did a malefaction of reading a personal passage in her diary that wasn't about her day but about how she felt and she just couldn't believe someone could do that. As time went on she enjoyed his visage and he enjoyed hers and they began to catch feelings for each other. Near the end of the war they did a perusal of their chances to get out of those tough times alive and had very good faith that it would happen. But knowing Hitler's army and work men they knew that they would go through superfluous actions to find every Jew in Holland. With only a few months before the war was over they were caught because of a broken window from a group of kids trying to steal things for money. Anne Frank was the last one of the people hiding in the annex to die. Her father survived and continue to live untio he died of old age. Miep found Anne's diaries on the floor of her room in the annex and gave the to a man who announced on the radio that he was looking for any documentations or diaries or any writings from the people who were going through this terror who wanted to share their story. And because of this Anne Frank got her wish to be known long after her death for her writings and her life. This book taught me a lot about all the fear that Anne Frank and her family and everyone in that annex went through. I've always wanted to know what the Jewish people went though during those times and even though it was about Anne's day to day life I learned that even in hard times you live a life near your loved ones and be grateful for what you have when you have it because you never know when you are going to lose it.
