Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl"
Here is a brief sneak-peek at the book so you can see the detailed part of the Holocaust:
On Nazi Punishment Of Jews
"Have you ever heard the term 'hostages'? That's the latest punishment for saboteurs. It's the most horrible thing you can imagine. Leading citizens--innocent people--are taken prisoner to await their execution. If the Gestapo can't find the saboteur, they simply grab five hostages and line them up against the wall. You read the announcements of their death in the paper, where they're referred to as 'fatal accidents'."
- October 9, 1942
"All college students are being asked to sign an official statement to the effect that they 'sympathize with the Germans and approve of the New Order." Eighty percent have decided to obey the dictates of their conscience, but the penalty will be severe. Any student refusing to sign will be sent to a German labor camp."
- May 18, 1943
On Still Believing
"It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more"
- July 15, 1944
Thanks for reading. I give this book 5 stars and if Anne Frank have written any other stories or doodles or scribbles, I would've read them. Rest In Peace (R.I.P.) Anne Frank

I read this when I was about 10 and it was the first book that really made me cry. I knew what was going to happen to her and even though I knew it, I was still so hopeful for her. I cried like a baby toward the end.

I cried too! When I first read it as a kid, I looked up what happened to her before I read it just to mentally prepare myself. I still held hope that she lived all the way through the end. It's so captivating that you almost forget it's real.hpsecrets99 wrote:This book was the first that I've read that really made me cry.
