Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
Anne Frank: a teenage girl forced into hiding – caught at the centre of the Nazi terror, and finally sent to her death. This remarkable eyewitness account describes the horror of the Nazi occupation through the eyes of a girl who was actually there. It tells how Anne and her Jewish family dodged the Nazis for two years by hiding in a tiny secret room in Amsterdam. Anne was doomed not to survive the war. Her family were betrayed to the Nazi soldiers, and she later died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. But until her capture, she wrote regularly in this diary, which remains one of the most important books of the 20th century. Written in that hidden attic, Anne’s diary is a remarkable story of hope and courage, and of the life one girl lived at the epicentre of world history.

This book is very emotional. There is love between Peter and Anne; the boredom and frustration of beeing shut up in a small space with 7 others and the horrible fear of being caught. Her diary makes you feel lucky and you can’t even begin to imagine living the way she did. It is interesting to read about Anne’s thoughts whilst she is hidden away from the world.

The Diary of Anne Frank is a tremendous book. Anne writes about her wartime experiences as they happen. A marvellous piece of writing. If I had the chance, I would give it 4.5/5, however because it is either 4/5 or 5/5, I must go for 5/5!
