"Yes, poor Anne Frank. Yes, poor everyone-in-the-Holocaust. Yes, how awful war is. Yes, whatever you want me to get out of it, English teacher, I will pretend I have. I will pretend to care. I don't, because this is just another reading assignment. But WHY am I reading someone's private diary?
It would be okay if maybe it was published at her consent, but no, it was her dad's idea.
I didn't like that guilty feeling at all. I read it so I could SAY I'd read it, but all along I was thinking, "I bet she'd hate this..me reading her diary...anyone would."
The nature of the content is so so sooo private. I felt like a voyeur.
If her dad had edited out all of that, like the parts where she vents, or talks about her period, or about her crushes, or whatever...there'd be nothing left, so he didn't. My conscience hated him for it.
I cried at several parts. The part where she talks about how they had a curfew and all these restrictions (the Jews I mean, before it got *really* bad) was sad. I was like, my God, she has no idea how much worse it's going to get.
The part where she mentions that if you want your sanity, just go outside for a while, and there in the middle of trees and sunshine, you will love life again, was beautiful. It was all tragic because I KNEW what was going to happen to her.
The bits in between, where she vents about all the people around her, and it sounds like her brain is melting, were sad too. Of course, anyone would go mad in those conditions. I wanted to hug her at MANY parts.
What I learned from this book was how tedious and horrible and dull it must've been, everyday life, to sit in a cramped little place waiting for Them to come and kill you. It must be what Palestinians feel like these days."
"Discovered in the secret annex in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world classic -- a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.
I've read this probably dozen times since I was 13 and each time it has a huge impact. This is such a candid look at the holocaust and and just an inside look at what it was like to live in Nazi-Germany. I always find it amazing that an innocent girl like Anne can go through so much pain and hardship and still "truly believe that people are really good at heart.""
"If only every teenager would read and embrace this story, I wonder if it would change the instant-gratification, me-me-me society that has evolved over the last 50 years? Of course, this novel is a staple in any Holocaust lesson planning. In a world in which so few teenagers (or adults, for that matter) seem to stop and give thanks for what they have (instead chirping about what they want or complaining about what they don't have), Anne Frank faced the most unfair of cruelties with a certain strength and grace that crushes nearly any "problem" kids or adults face. Many Holocaust books or movies make you think, "Why?! Why did this happen?!" This story makes me think, "How? How did Anne Frank find the strength to keep her head and record her thoughts during such an unbelievably difficult time?" In a world desperate for heroes and tired (though indelibly enamored by) spoiled athletes, stories like this are once-in-a-lifetime. Hats off to Anne Frank. She had dreams of becoming famous and, although it was for reasons she never would have imagined, at least that part of her dream became true. I appreciate how this story makes my students of all learning levels and backgrounds rethink what they thought they knew about sacrifices and challenges, and even gets some students thinking about how they can use their lives to make a positive difference for others."
"I've read so many books about the Holocaust, particularly the ones aimed toward young (mostly adolescent) readers. I own a huge collection and I re-read them frequently. I've owned The Diary of a Young Girl for YEARS (so long that the inside cover has turned yellow) but I've never read it until now.
I'm so glad I waited to read it. I don't think I would have appreciated it as much when I was younger (I would've thought it was boring.) But now I'm able to appreciate it for what it is: A breathtakingly beautiful diary of a young woman who had a huge talent for writing and a depth of emotions that are painful and familiar.
Anne Frank's diary is not a famous book because of plot. There is none. It's her diary. The book is famous, and deservedly so, for the way she wrote. Every word in the diary is so honest. The reader is able to see Anne grow up from a happy thirteen year old enjoying boyfriends and bike riding in Amsterdam, to a lonely fifteen year old whose physical existence was confined to a few small rooms and a few people who couldn't understand her - but whose emotional and mental existence was almost omniscient, noticing and feeling everything.
I came so close to crying after finishing this book - and I've only ever cried reading one book before in my life. Although Anne Frank lived for two years in hiding she still ended up in Auschwitz, survived Auschwitz, and died of typhus in another camp...but despite all that she managed to live her dream: she became a famous author who has touched the lives of millions upon millions of people."
