Summary: A Brave Young Girl
Review: An insightful look back in history. "Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl" is an almost fitting memorial to the young Jewish teenager who died at Bergen-Belson. Born in 1929 just before Anne Franks birthday she received a blank diary to write in. These entries are jaw dropping. This book is for everyone. It is a chance for people to read what the Holocaust was actually like, and the pain and injustice that occurred, and still occurs in the world today. It gives people a look on what type of horror is still going on in different parts of the world right now, and is more of an eye opener then anything. This book delivers a message, one we can all relate to. That ordinary people just like us are suffering. And for what reason? These people are not criminals. They are good people, smart people, and friendy people.

Summary: Anne Frank
Review: Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl was vey long. A lot of parts in it were boring. Some parts were interesting though.If the book was shorter and didn't have all the stuff on her just talking about Peter for two discs, I might have thought it was better.

Summary: Book Report for FCS
Review: This book was very informative and enjoyable. I learned alot about how it really was for Jews in hiding during WWII. I learned about all the terrible things they were put through because of hate, prejudice, and ignorance. I think that reading this book will really impact your way of thinking about WWII.
I enjoyed most of the book, but some of it was a little irritating. I know that it was a personal diary for Anne but I did not enjoy listening to her obsess about things that seemed very trivial in the grand scheme of things. Overall this book was informative and interesting.

Summary: MISS O, LOOK!!!!
Review: Miss O, The book The Diary of Anne Frank was really good. It is about a Jewish girl and her family, going into hiding from the Nazies. Anne, her sister Margot, her Mother and Father, and another family named the Von Don's are secretely hidden in a secret annex. Anne not only has to go through the troubles of growing up, but also the trouble of war. The only thing that can let her feelings out is her diary. In the end of the book Anna's family gets sent to a concentration camp where they die. The only one still living is her father. He takes a walk back to the annex and finds his daughter's diary. He reads it and gets it published into a book. From, Alison

Summary: Anne Frank:The Diary of a Young Girl
Review: This book, Anne Frank: The Dairy of a Young Girl, takes place in Amsterdam during the Holocaust. Anne Frank is a Jewish girl running away from the Nazis. She has to run and hide so that she doesn't get caught like the rest of the Jewish people, who are being sent to the Concentration Camps ran by Adolph Hitler, a very bad Nazi leader. Anne Frank writes about the difficulties she deals with growing up, her inner feelings that she deals with, and the experiences through out this book.

Summary: Great Read
Review: The Diary of Anne Frank was an optional read for me. (...)when I first heard about the Holocaust, I was so enthralled in everything that happened and the power Hitler managed to come into.
This book is a wonderful story for everyone and I think every history class (or any class at all) should be required to read it, it's an excellent view into the past. (...)

Summary: Undescribable!
Review: (...) This is truly a moving story. Not only is it a great book, but also, it is real. Although sometimes it hurts to know the truth, it makes us stronger to know what people went through... This book will make you cry, and perhaps, smile. But all I know is that after I read this book, I, myself have become stronger and in that way, I have learned to appreciate what I have, because others have it much worse! I think that you should DEFINETLY read this book, (...)

Summary: Great, but a little too informative.
Review: This is a great edition, and i am almost to the end. It is a great book, but i think there is too much information. I mean, she talks about such pointless and often disgusting things. Her and Peter have the most bizarre descussions about their bodies, when they are only 13!! i am 12, and i have never openly disscussed these types of things with my friends, let alone a stranger. Other than that, it is very good, and i recommend that everyone read it and see the trama of the Holocaust on a young person.

Summary: Great book-Diary of a young woman-not a young girl
Review: This is a fascinating book for one major reason: it's not the one you read in sixth grade. For years this book has been known as "The Diary of a Young Girl." Otto Frank's influence on the book released in 1947 should not be underestimated. How many fathers cope with their daughters' maturing into adults comfortably? What one realizes when reading this edition is the real title should have been "Diary of a Young Woman." This is a much more vibrant reading experience than the first edition released. I think it's mentioned in the foreword that she started writing the diary for personal reasons, but eventually hoped to publish it after the war. What one realizes is how important Anne Frank would have become had she lived. It's not an overstatement to say she was talented beyond her years. She is one of the most important authors of the twentieth century as it is, because this book says a great deal about the twentieth century. But had she lived, I think we would have seen even greater books come out of her. If you have never read this book, this is the edition to get.

Summary: Good story to restore the human face to an atrocity
Review: This book takes an ominious turn early on, when Anne Frank's family, together with the Van Daan's, go into hiding in the attic of a warehouse, dubbed the "Secret Annexe". Ofcourse, it isn't long before family tensions arise. Anne Frank's diary alternates between Anne's precocious self-evaluation (her opinions, ambitions and observations), as well as how WWII is progressing. Though living in confinement and unrelenting fear, Anne's joyful spirit radiates throughout her diary, and her courage and stoical disposition are awe-inspiring. Anne's eloquence and natural merriment throw colour on her otherwise tense and bleak circumstances. Her resistance is admirable. An innocent, romantic subplot develops later in Anne's diary, between Anne and Peter Van Daan (the slightly older boychild of the family hiding with the Franks.) Anne yearns for love to supplant what she lacks from her parents, but the affection between the two adolescents is soon quelled by increasingly ominous circumstances. Anne's diary ends abruptly. After all Anne's introspection and charming anecdotes, I felt that I really knew Anne, as her innermost feelings are so vividly written here. The final, haunting lines of the epilogue reverberate.
As well as being historically important, this precious relic is a poignant, bittersweet read, and will forever replace the anonymity of those we lose to war with a human spirit and personality.
