Although I only read a few chapters of this book It really surprised me on how hard some of these Jewish families were living and it really makes me stop to think about everything that we don't take time to appreciate in life because at times it's so easy to notice the horrible things that are happening to you but when good things happen they aren't noticed as much.
And from what I learned this book is Anne Frank's diary which was found by her dad who survived the Holocaust and managed to get back to where his family (Anne plus her sister and mother) lived and he found his daughter Anne's diary and published it in memory of her.
I noticed that a lot of her writting in the diary was actually very well written for her only being 13 years old at the time and I wonder if they touched it up a little before they published it or was that just how she spoke/wrote?
Here is a line from the book that I would like to comment on "Anyway, it certainly shows that there are lots of officers and generals who are sick of the war and would like to see Hitler descend into aottomless pit. When they'e disposed of Hitler, their aim is to establish a military dictator, who will make peace with the Allies, then they intend to rearm and start another war in about 20 years' time." This quote struck me because Anne knows that Hitler is a horrible man, but yet she never says it as if she is saying it, she tends to use some one else to hate him such as in this quote. I also can't seem to figure out why so many people these days are willing to protest against President Bush or anythign they dissagree with, but then back then there were barely ever protest and it seemed to be that people didn't tend to revolt as much. This also relates the starting of African American slaves, although there were many African American's, they never really rebelled against the whites which made the white people incontrol of them. It is just kind of eye opening on how people are finally starting to stand up for themselves and realize that anyones voice or actions can makea difference.
