I read this as a young girl, & it definitely gave me a perspective on WWII that I never would have learned in school. They didn't teach us about the Holocaust. This book touched me & has always made me wonder how a few evil people could be so completely destructive & kill so many innocent lives.

Anne Frank is the polar opposite of the Third Reich. She shows you faith in humanity when in reality, she should have had none.

The best, most well known account of life for Jews during WWII in Holland. The family goes into hiding in 1942 and lives in two floors above a warehouse in Amsterdam. They can never go outside and rely completely on the support of friends. Ann goes from age 13 to 15 in the book. In the midst of the fear and tension of being in hiding, Ann is experiencing the emotional roller coaster of growing up. Very powerful and very moving.

This is the version I read as a kid (ca. 1990). But with my kids, I'll read "The Definitive Version."

Read an earlier edition ca. 1990, then read definitive version ca. 1995.

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
