The diary of a young girl

Soo many thoughts... This made me sad for the obvious reasons. The fact that there were so many rules for Jews just to live is insane. I am rereading this yearly for sure. I wish I could hug Anne.

The Dairy of a Young Girl

Kristel Villarreal Saldua

Anne Frank's extraordinary diary, written in the Amsterdam attic where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years, has become a world classic and a timeless testament to the human spirit. Now, in a new edition enriched by many passages originally withheld by her father, we meet an Anne more real, more human, and more vital than ever. Here she is first and foremost a teenage girl—stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable, in love with life. She imparts her deeply secret world of soul-searching and hungering for affection, rebellious clashes with her mother, romance and newly discovered sexuality, and wry, candid observations of her companions. Facing hunger, fear of discovery and death, and the petty frustrations of such confined quarters, Anne writes with adult wisdom and views beyond her years. Her story is that of every teenager, lived out in conditions few teenagers have ever known.

First off, I must say that Anne was smart and an excellent writer. Yes, she did make mistakes but I'm still surprised what I was reading came from a mind of a young teen. In her diary she mentioned how she wanted to be a journalist and a writer, which makes her well known fate even more tragic. If she did survive, I'm sure she would have become a successful writer and that she would have published countless of books. We would probably even be reading the book which she was planning to publish "The secret annex" instead of her diary!

As for the book itself, it's more about what daily life had been in the secret annex. You'll be able to experience the terrible and terrifying times that people like Anne had to endure in this book. It also reminds us that they were also just ordinary people who also had dreams, emotions, and beliefs. This book sheds light on how humanity can truly be evil and disturbed.

The book isn't only about the dreams, thoughts, and fears that a young innocent girl once had... It's also about the lives of millions of people who met the same fate as hers. It's a book that reminds it's readers about a tragic event in history, an event which humanity should never ever forget. 

Everyone at least once in their life should give this book a read. You won't regret it!

I don't know why I held off reading this so long. Anne Frank was a very talented writer. I was blown away that what I was reading was written by a 14 year old. The content wasn't quite what I expected; less war commentary, more recounting daily life in the Annex and all of her inner contemplations and conflicts. I loved it and would definitely recommend.

I read a lot about Julian Assange lately, with the US presidential elections, and the continuous streak of leaks happening. He has been living in one room, alone for over four years. Anne, her family and others had been living in hiding in one secret Annex for over a couple of years. Anne, a 13/14/15 year old girl penned down many things that she could. Her frustration about being treated as a child, her not getting along with everybody including her mother, her repeated stressing upon the fact that she wanted to become a journalist, and not in a whole wide world, could she imagine herself being just a mere housewife, after the influence of other women in the hiding, including her mother and Mrs. Van Dan. 

Reading the book was very tiresome for me, I couldn't read it continuously, I had to break it down over many days. It is a diary after all, mostly never written to be read. On some pages, due to lack of new things happening, Anne would repeat the same thing over and over, and sometimes toggle between two completely different opinions, or struggle in choosing one and ending up instead, questioning what was right or wrong. This was wearying, but interesting as well. 

One thing I could observe in reading her diary was that, being alone gave her time to think about things, that she couldn't have thought outside in the free world. At page 269 of my book she wrote 


How noble and good everyone could be if, at the end of each day, they were to review their own behaviour and weigh up the rights and wrongs. They would automatically try to do better at the start of each new day and, after a while, would certainly accomplish a great deal.


She testifies doing this in her last entry when she distinguishes Anne as being an inner Anne and an outer Anne, and how she'd always have immediate feedback check after something she'd have said with a You shouldn't have said that or That's right, go with it.

It was so hard for her to not be able to find at least one person to talk her heart out to, even though Peter was someone whom she shared many things with. Towards the end, she confesses that she isn't able to say / write things exactly how she feels. There has always been conflict in how she knows she's more mature than her age, and how she's always treated as a blabbering, arrogant, flirtatious, joke making child. 

Anne from the start, keeps mentioning her surprise over how women have so easily succumbed to men's wants and demands. If she'd have lived, she'd have made a wonderful statement through her work as a journalist writer perhaps, as she originally intended.

Over the journey of having feelings for the only boy of age in the hiding, doubting his shying and tacit, but loveable, adorable behaviour, reading so many books and languages, despising so many things still having faith in everything turning right in the end, and everyone ultimately being good at heart, the gnawing period of Nazi cruelty against Jews, the air raids, and the burglaries and constant fear of being found out, the fights over less food, the monotonous menu for suppers, breakfasts, lunches, not being able to bathe or go to the bathroom due to the fear of outside people getting a hunch of what was going on, a go read a book (read life).

Taught me a lot, especially the blockquote that I mentioned from the book above.

ahmed

The importance of such a diary is undisputed.
The importance lies not in the literature work but in the record itself, the capture of of daily life events of this young girl in such time.

Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank, with her parents and sister and four other people, went into hiding in the sealed-off back rooms of an Amsterdam office building in 1942, when the Nazi invaders intensified their persecution of Jews.

For two years they remained safe. In August 1944 they were betrayed, Anne died in the ghastly concentration camp at Belsen. All the others perished too, except her father. 

Anne's astonishingly intimate diary was found by accident. With a touch of genius it records the strains of her unusual life, the problems of her unfolding womanhood, her falling in love, her unswerving faith in her religion. And it reveals the shining nobility of her spirit.

Now known and loved the world over through State, Screen and TV adaptations or in translation, this touchingly human document remains timeless in its appeal.

The Diary of Anne Frank

Oh my god. So hard to read, I can't imagine living like that I can't picture being with 7 other people in a small place for over 2 years just to get caught right before it all ends. 

Tuesday, 7 March 1944: This entry hit hard her talking about her journey and how she can find happiness in it and look for the beauty in life and nature.

** spoiler alert **
           Very much the diary of a teenage girl (internal identity issues, puberty, romance, troubles with her mother, etc), which makes the holocaust and WW2 era come hauntingly to life. It's so fulfilling to watch Anne grow as a person from ages 13 to 15, and also incredibly heartbreaking to know how the story ends. Profound, funny, and poignant.
