The Diary of Anne Frank is a deeply important account of the Holocaust, especially in my opinion because it's written from a child's perspective, which is a unique perspective that should be more closely studied. Anne's thoughts range from tortured at the knowledge of the war's horrors, to the delight and confusion of adolescence, to boredom, to insightful observations and clever remarks. Remembering her brings gratitude to my life that I haven't personally experienced her plight, but more importantly her words are a reminder to prioritize resisting bigotry, ignorance, racism, and interpersonal hierarchy.
