The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank - Bog

Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I've never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I feel like writing. -Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl is a remarkable first-hand account of the life of a holocaust victim, Anne Frank. A young girl in her teenage, Anne, documented her experiences from 1942 to 1944 during the German occupation of the Netherlands. Living in hiding with her family for these tumultuous years, Anne documents not only the upheaval of the dark times but also the plain and simple emotions and views of a teenage girl. This marvelously rendered account is not only a potent reminder of the horrors of the evils perpetrated by humans but also is a vivid and earnest testimonial of the human spirit. "The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating." -The New York Times "How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and naïve self-absorption of adolescence." -Newsday
