Aku belum pernah baca buku asli nya Diary of Anne Frank, tapi adaptasi graphic novel nya ini bagus. I love how they drawing what the childern feeling during the war. How the Anne and others childern at Annex suffering in this crisis. 😭😭😭 Well adaptation story and the graphic illustration so good.

Not sure if this upholds the value and importance of Anne Frank. Would recommend reading the actual book rather than this Graphic "Adaptation."

Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation, was authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation in Basel, Switzerland, and is a faithful interpretation of the diary itself. Illustrated by David Polonsky and adapted by Ari Folman, this version was also created to reach young readers in a format that is engaging for a new generation meeting Anne for the first time. This text also offers every reader, even those who know her diary and story well, to learn something new, feel something fresh, continue their fascination with Frank’s determination to write and re-write her diary, engaging in a writer’s craft all while knowing that it might survive the war and be a witness to her experiences in hiding.

With quotations throughout directly from the definitive edition of the diary, the art and panels glow with illustrations and imaginative leaps that bring Anne’s voice, insights, joys and sorrows to life, allowing her fantasies, comic observations, and often fearful, volatile emotions to fill the panels:

There is also a publisher-created book trailer for sharing with students ages 14 and up.

One of the graphic novels that just rises above and shows what the form has to offer in bringing a story to life while staying true to the original. 
I can see how reading this will result in a new generation wanting to read the original

I’m so glad I decided to read this graphic adaptation, even though the story is absolutely heartbreaking. Anne’s writing is beautiful and just so real. I really enjoyed it as well as the illustrations. I believe this is the only version other than the original to include her actual writing.
