I planned to finish this book before visiting the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. I went there on 5th Oct 2023 😅 Only a year and a half late! Let’s hope 2025 is the year I set aside more time to read. My slowness does not relate to my enjoyment of the book. What an important story and what an eloquent, deeply thoughtful, self-aware, brave and intelligent young person Anne was. Her hope toward the end of her diary was heartbreaking. The afterword with the context of the war was a good inclusion and I had to wipe away tears on the bus reading what happened to Anne and her family. Never again, for anyone.

wow what an insight into life in those times. it really is crazy how all she wanted was for her legacy to last beyond her death but she never got to see it form.
i find it interesting and unusual that the audiobooks from the library, and my physical copy are worded completely differently! my books wording was much more 1940s teenage girl for my liking

Apesar de ser de formato de diário, eu gostei do livro.
Deu-me uma nova perspectiva em relação aos judeus durante a segunda guerra mundial, uma vez que Portugal não entrou nesta guerra e só mandou alimentos para ajudar.
Também não lemos nada na escola sobre a segunda guerra mundial como este livro.

Some notable quotes:

"For one fleeting moment I thought, 'Him and his lies. I'll smack his ugly mug so hard he'll go bouncing off the wall.'"
"And keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world."
