Me ha costado leerlo porque la mayor parte de libro me ha resultado repetitiva, aburrida y sin mucho interés.
Es un libro con buena crítica, que me ham recomendado mucho y que tenía ganas de leer y me ha decepcionado. La historia es real y, tristemente, daba para más.
Como aspectos positivos destacar la sinceridad de Ana, su madurez y sus reflexiones (me he sentido identificada con una de las últimas). Me alegra ver que a pesar de todo ha logrado cumplir su sueño.
Nota: 7/10

I feel sorry for Anne and her family and all of the Jewish who had become victim of the Nazi cruelty.

Anne is a 13 cheerful girl before they move to the secret Annex bulding in 1942. Anne quite popular in her school, because she was pretty, smart and her smile was very sweet. She was Jewish and at that time The Jews become Inferior. Jews were ban for public facility.

" After May 1940 the good times were few and far between: first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews. Our freedom was severely restricted by a series of anti-Jewish decrees: Jews were required to wear a yellow star; Jews were required to turn in their bicycles; Jews were forbidden to use street-cars; Jews were forbidden to ride in cars, even their own; Jews were required to do their shopping between 3 and 5 P.M.; Jews were required to frequent only Jewish-owned barbershops and beauty parlors; Jews were forbidden to be out on the streets between 8 P.M. and 6 A.M.; Jews were forbidden to attend theaters, movies or any other forms of entertainment; Jews were forbidden to use swimming pools, tennis courts, hockey fields or any other athletic fields; Jews were forbidden to go rowing; Jews were forbidden to take part in any athletic activity in public; Jews were forbidden to sit in their gardens or those of their friends after 8 P.M.; Jews were forbidden to visit Christians in their homes; Jews were required to attend Jewish schools, etc. You couldn’t do this and you couldn’t do that, but life went on. Jacque always said to me, “I don’t dare do anything anymore, ‘cause I’m afraid it’s not allowed."

U could see how hard the Jewish lived at that time. But it was become worse when Nazi Hitler decided to demolish all of the Jewish.

Ann's family started packing and left their house the the hiding place in Annex. They were 7 people and the first... in the small office building, and become 8 at the end.

Ann lived there for 2 years.. she started to write her diary, and she named it Kitty. She wrote about their life there, about lack of food, about the terrific feeling wherever they will caught, she also told about her first time got period. And finally she fell in love to Peter Van Deen, one of boy who had hiding with her.

I could imagine how hard her life is .. whenever the invasion came they started to trembling and terrified, anytime they could died by the bombed or got caught.
Ann also told about her dream to become a journalist ot a writer. And she wished her diary will be published . Well, her dream to be journalist isnt fullfilled. But her dream to become a famous writer and published her diary become true.

Her last written on her diary was on 1 august 1944, and when 4 August 1944 , the 8 of them become caught by the police, because someone had betrayed them and told about their hiding place.
Sad ending of Ann Life. The only survivor is only Otto Frank, her father.

I wish i could someday going to Amsterdam and visit The Museum of Anne Frank.

I am so grateful i live now in a world of peaceful and have the human right. I hate war... i wish there's no more of war forever...

It's hard to read this book and to not get caught up in the horror, even though it's just a simple girl telling her story. It's not an epic tale, one should never read this book for that reason. It's about life going on in the middle of a horror that can not be put into words. Even though they were ripped from normal life and were forced to live inside a part of a house without the chance to go outside, life continued. (People saying that they had it 'good' are gravely mistaken. In comparison to people dead, dying or suffering on the battlefield/camps, perhaps yes, compared to us? I dare those people to never vacate their homes for more than two years then! I'll even let them have GOOD plumbing, internet, the right to be LOUD and GOOD food.) This girl is proof that life continues. We want to glorify everything about the wars, we need epic tales, bloodshed, horror and life-altering stories to remember that we can never let it get that far again. But it is only human that life continues in its simple elegance (that does not féél that simple to the subjects who endure it), that young people blossom, even in a world that wants to snuff them out.

Anne has made me frown a lot but she made me laugh too. She was only thirteen, fifteen at the most when she wrote all her thoughts. She had a sharp mind as well as a childish one. Would this book be any good if it had not this terrible background? I hardly think so. This story is special because of its background. It's the story of somebody who ALMOST survived. And to realise that she died only a few months before liberation is heartbreaking. These people - and so many others - have lost their lives for nothing. Pure waste.

Yet I am glad - in a way - that her mother did not survive the war. It already broke my heart how she wrote about her mother. Even though it is normal for youngsters to rebel against their parents, it would have destroyed that poor soul for reading the too hard words her daughter wrote. It must not have been easy for her father either. It made me resent Anne a little. But I firmly believe that she would regret her words later on when she grew to be a woman, if only she had gotten the chance.

Re-read as an adult as I had originally read it when I was 10. As a kid it seemed like fiction set so long ago. Reading it now makes me realize the horrors of the war and the beauty in Anne's day to day life are all too real and present.

This is a great book and everyone should read it.

Not enough can be said about Anne Frank's diary. I reread this for a third or fourth time after visiting Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam, which was its own moving experience in its own right. Anne was a precocious young woman and her words leave an important reminder for humanity.
