Product Description
An Inspiration The Holocaust was one of the most heinous and tragic periods in history. There have been numerous books written about the horrors of the Holocaust, but nothing compares to the documentation of a family that went into hiding in the diary of a young girl, Anne Frank. Honest, logical, and empathic, The Diary of A Young Girl is a must-read for anybody who has ever questioned the mental strength of humanity, as well as those who can’t accept the cruelty that humans can inflict on one another.
Anne Frank made the first entry in the diary on June 12, 1942, after receiving it as a birthday present, and the entries ended suddenly on August 1, 1944. The Underlying Themes Anne Frank and her family lived a comfortable life in Frankfurt, Germany, until they were forced to flee to Amsterdam with other Jews and go into hiding as the Nazis took over Europe. Anne describes in her diary the difficulties her family had while living in hiding, knowing that if they were detected, they would suffer greatly. The suffering of Jews during the Holocaust is well documented; yet, a thirteen-year-old experiencing the effects of bigotry and racism reminds readers of the magnitude of World War II’s consequences.
What is most compelling is that, despite the anxiety and fear, Anne remains a happy, lively girl who enjoys talking and observing. Still a teenager and naive of the horrors lying behind their hiding place, Anne first fails to recognize the fear held within the hearts of seniors and depicts everyday happenings through the eyes of a teen. As the novel progresses, Anne matures and comes to terms with herself. The Nazis are becoming more severe, and tyranny is increasing; there are parts of the text that make readers sad and concerned. One day, Anne’s entire family, including herself, is apprehended, and the journal ends abruptly with the promise of a new day, which never comes in Anne Frank’s life. Anne’s father, Otto Frank, was the only member of the family who managed to escape the concentration camps and later turned Anne’s diary into a book.
Conclusion The story of Anne Frank and the Frankfurt family is widely regarded as one of the most perceptive portrayals of World War II told through the perspective of a little child. The Diary of a Young Girl has been the subject of numerous plays and films. Otto Frank’s original diary was published in Dutch in 1947 and first translated into English in 1952 as The Diary of A Young Girl. Since then, Anne Frank’s memoirs have been translated into over sixty languages, and people all over the world have read, loved, and sobbed over them.
