Anne Frank

the Diary of a Young Girl
Oct 04, 2017Dragonrat703 rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This story cannot be described with words. Most obviously, it is a compelling story of Jews in hiding from the Nazis. But below that, it is the story that everyone goes through: the story of a teenage girl growing up and discovering herself. The fact that this teenage girl was one of the most insightful people for her age just adds to the astounding quality of this book. Anne, in the midst of horrific circumstances, still manages to keep up her spirit and grow and develop. It tears away the blind that kept concentration camps bearable, the stubborn refusal of the mind to think of Jews as people. Anne was an extraordinary young woman whose promise and amazing life were stolen from her by the hands of ignorance and blind hate. The legacy her diary left will continue to inspire people forever. Let us hope that we choose to learn from her, to stamp out hate and ignorance once and for all.
