A tragic, realistic and heartwarming tale.
I have read anne franks' diary years ago. This book shows others the reality that Anne and her family had to live in.
Firstly after anne's family escape from germany, they flee to the netherlands hoping to find peace and harmony. Their luck is short lived when the nazis occupy the netherlands, forcing anne and her family to go into hiding.
It is tragic to learn that anne and many other families had to hide from socitey in order to protect themselves. Their 'secret annexe' is found and they are forced to go into either concentration camps or to the gas chambers. It is sad to note that Anne, her family and friends living in the annexe may have surived their ordeal as all camps and other punishments were scrapped shortly after they died.
Anne's father otto Frank was the only survior of the family. He shared his daughters diary to the world as a hope for multiracial and multicultural communities. Also for learning others about acceptance and equality.

A good learning tool for everyone. A must read.

Really Good
Every Single Person Should Read About Anne Frank...Its A Really Interesting Book, Especially For Foreigners, Because The English Is Very Easy!!!

A book which should be read by everyone
I remember the time when I was looking for that book like a crazy, as I'd always wanted to read it. Unfortunately it wasn't simple to find it in Gdansk, but at least I have it now in my hands. It's an amazing book, totally different from any book I've ever read. Furthermore, I'm thrilled to read it since it changed the my idea of war we're to see from American movies such as Pearl Harbour etc. Since I'm 18 it really helped me to understand that period of time and those who consider this book as a 'regular' girlie diary are so unbelievably mistaken. I was so touched after reading it, so shocked, so amazed that words can't express it. The book is very moving and especially the fact that Anne's way of seeing what happened outside is so different so brave I think....Well, maybe my review seems to be more like a compilation of my feelings after reading Anne's Frank Diary than a real type of a review thing, but if you take the book into your hands and give it a go you'll see what I mean and maybe your idea of life will change. I think life and love and frienship and happiness are the most important values! The book reminds me of the marvellous Italian movie 'Life is beautiful'. The book is really worth recommendation
