The Diary of Anne Frank


This summer I’ve read this book because I heard that it was really good.
The Diary of Anne Frank is the story of a 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family who are forced into hiding by the Nazis during World War II.
The book is based on the diary written by Anne Frank while she and her family plus four more jewish people were hiding for two years; from 1942 to 1944 in the Atic of her father’s office, in the city of Amsterdam.
In August 1944 they were sent to a concentration camp called Bergen-Belsen, which was one of the worse. Of the group of eight, only Otto Frank (his father) survived the war.
Her diary, was saved during the war by one of the family’s helpers, Miep Gies, and her father published the diary in 1947, to make her daughter’s dream come true; become a writer.
Today, her diary has been translated into 67 languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world.

My opinion: I really liked this book and I really enjoyed reading it because the way she write’s it makes your feel like you’re the one who’s there hiding and feeling that horrible pain for two years; but in another way, sometimes she gets so detailled with something so it gets a little boring.
I really recommend this book to anyone, I think it’s worth reading it.
