Book Review of the Anna Frank´s Diary

Book Review of the Anna Frank´s Diary

          Anne's diary was a gift for her thirteenth birthday on 12 June 1942. Anne named him Kitty and he went on to tell everything that happened around him. Anne Frank and her family were Jews as they were engaged in a war, he was treated differently: they had to wear a yellow star on their clothes, shop in Jewish stores, only frequent places owned by Jews. Moreover, to move, they could not ride a street car or any other vehicle except the bike and had to study in special schools for Jews. Sometime later came news that would forever change the life of Anne and her family. His sister Margo had been called to the war. With that, they had to leave towards the unknown: they had to migrate to a hiding in the secret annex of the company where Anne's father worked. With the Frank family, also were the Van Daan family (Peter, Mr. Van Daan, and Petronella).

          Whom helped the outlaws were identified as Bep, Miep and Mr. Kugler Voskujil, which provided food and other materials needed to survive. After much thought, they decided that would be added an eighth host to the annex and it was decided that it would host the dentist Albert Dussel, installed in Anne’s room. Anne sometimes felt very sad and lonely confined to that place; she argued with her ​​mother and has a problematic coexistence with residents. There were many disputes and arguments in the annex: the Van Daan with Frank, Anne with her mother, Van Daan with Dussel.

          Meanwhile outside, northern Amsterdam was destroyed generating more than 200 dead and many wounded. After all expectations, finally came good news: Mussolini had resigned to power in Italy.

          Anne had a change in his life, because it happened to understand and have more wisdom. As time passes, the country became increasingly anti-Semitic place, even those that were good were no longer so. These causes fear and concern Anne and the other guests. Anne in May 1944 had suffered a relapse of bad mood, sad, hopeless, due to several reasons: the food supplier had been arrested, anti-Semitism was extreme, the diet was poor, had stress around him, the lack of freedom, fear, and loneliness were part of their daily lives. Anne returns to normal and you start to believe that the end of the war is near, because a general of the German nobility had tried to assassinate Hitler.

          In my personal opinion, I found this book very good and interesting, really. What I liked is that not only tells the story Ana was going through his family, but also much appreciated inside she was questioning herself. I like it because I could feel identified in those aspects with it.

         I think Anne was a girl who had to admired him, because despite all adversities presented in her short life, she was always optimistic about everything, it was never a selfish person, and although their lives were crumble she always thought that the only happiness was not dying and enjoy warm family. She saw his newspaper '' Kitty '' as his best, true and only friend she could confess their secrets and reasoning.

         The World of Anne Frank was not at all easy; you could say that is one of the biggest disappointments of history captured in ink. A true story in which adults with their actions and words are responsible to repress and frustrate the aspirations of a girl who dreamed of being a writer or journalist who was confident his talents as a person and as I had paper and ink never lost hope in humans, even buried in his own solitude. The legacy of a teenager who wrote one of the most important works of all time is captured in beautiful lines that left us in the last pages of his diary.

         ''That is how difficult these times: the terrible reality attacks and totally annihilates the ideals, dreams and hopes as they arise. It is a miracle that has not yet given up all my hopes, because they seem absurd and unworkable. However, I still clinging to them, despite everything, because I still believe in the inner goodness of men '' - Anne Frank.
