Anne Frank, a Jew of Germany, fled from Nazis to Amsterdam in 1934 and kept a diary during her years in hiding from 1942 until people captured her family in August 1944 and sent to concentration camps, where she died of typhus at Belsen; survivors published her posthumously in 1947.
Father of Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank, a girl, moved to the Netherlands in 1933, and the rest followed later. Anne, the last, came in February 1934. She wrote with four friends during the occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.
Anne lived with her parents and sister during the Holocaust in the attic of office of her father to escape. During that period, she recorded her life.
Anne Frank was a young girl who lived in the city, Amsterdam when the Nazis took over. Her family was in danger because they were Jewish. They hide in the annex above a food factory. They are able to stay here for two years without being found. For a family that used to be able to have just as much freedom as everyone else, this is such a horrible experience. This young girl decides to start a diary about this time in her life.
This book is so good! It taught me not to really take everything for granted. She writes so well. As I was reading it I would be able to picture most of the book in my mind. It almost feels like you are a part of it.
“I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.”
“Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite independent of anyone.”
In the book there is a little bit of offensive content. In this book the offensive context is the sexual parts.
It’s amazing to read the transformation of Anne from flippant school girl to a wise beyond her years young woman. Of course it was always in my mind the atrocities that put her in this situation and her unfortunate outcome. But there is solace in the fact that she achieved her dream of becoming famous and having an impact on the world!
What could be considered teenage ramblings are indeed mature thoughts and beautiful insight into life of a teenage girl in the midst of war. How would she have shaped into a woman, we will never know, but I can only imagine that had she made it through, she would have become an even greater symbol against oppression and achieved greater feats.
