Background
This book is usually referenced as the Diary of Anne Frank. Originally, this book came to life from her father publishing the pages she used as a diary in 1947. Since then there has been a number of editions and translations. The first copy was edited by her father which is interesting given the light Anne painted her mother in and how her father was depicted.
My Thoughts
Of course, this was a depressing book because we already knew the ending. However, it paints a vivid picture of people just trying to get by while being hunted by the Nazi regime. This is more poignant as it comes from the perspective a young girl.
Recommendation
An important read but not a pleasant one.
