My 3rd grade son is currently doing a poster project on Germany (we are of Bavarian heritage). He wanted to include a section on "famous German things". Well, Red Riding Hood, Ludwig I, BMW's, and my grandmother, Mary Schultz made the list. Then, later that nite, I came across this website. I'm bookmarking it. It's time my son became familiar with Anne, the most courageous German of all. If we all had a little Anne in us, the world would be a much better place. |

I just completed a study of the play version of "The Diary..." Wow! I was hesitant to teach it to my eighth graders. What a great way to send them off... with a giving spirit, all because they have experienced Anne's life. Her essay "Give" was a real eye opener. It makes us realize how selfish we are at times. |

I wonder what would have happened if she lived and what she would be to day.
She to me represents a strong spirit in a weak world |

We're reading Anne Frank in school, for English class for the first time. I'm only about half way through, and I was shocked when I found out that our school library didn't have a copy of Anne Frank! Her book made me stop and think about what's going on in the world, and what's happened. Quincidently, we started reading Anne Frank on Holicost Remembrence Day. (not purposly) It just makes you slow down and look at the world in a new way. It was/ will be an experience to remember. |

I read Anne's Diary many years ago as a young girl and I think it was my first real exposure to the Holocaust. Before that I had heard the word but didn't understand it's true meaning. I have since, as an adult, visited the Secret Annex in Amsterdam and now re-reading some of the entries and learning more about Anne's ambition and talent, I am more horrified at the fact of the Holocaust than ever before. Anne's insights into human nature in her last entries are parallel to my own. I, perhaps childlishly, cling to the belief that people are good. That she was able to continue to believe despite the reality around her is even more inspiring. What a beautiful world she believed in. If more people could read her words and know the facts of her existence, then maybe we could come closer to realizing her dreams. |

My grandma purchased Anne's Diary for me after we had just taken a tour of the annex where the Franks hid. That was 20 years ago. I still can remember the house and how I laughed and cried while reading the book. I was only eight years old! Being such a young writer, it amazes me today that she knew how to ?tell the tale? so to speak. In the two days it took me to read her stories, she made me feel as if I were right there with her. I still have the diary my grandma bought, and I have read it many times since then. Each time I laugh and I cry as if I were reading it for the first time! What a lesson of humility, perseverance, and hope she taught the world and me! |

This Website is an amazing tribute to the victims of Holocaust and to Anne Frank and her family. Through the eyes and the experiences of a young jewish girl the world can be inspired by the diaries and stories of Anne Frank. At such a young age Anne Frank could ellaborate on what is truly wrong in this world. I truly hope that her story can be told around the world and be inspired by Anne Frank's dreams, hopes , aspirations, experiences and hardship during the holocaust. Anne's story lives on her words and her whispers of her diary will not be forgotten and will be an inspiration to all those who have read her story. |

I have always been interested in Anne and was extremely touched by her diary;it sends out a message to everyone. For me, when I read the diary, it ment more than just words on a page, but the voice of a brave, enthusiastic young girl. Now I look up to Anne as a role model in life, someone who is like me. she is alot of inspiration for me, as I to love writing as well. She was wise beyond her years. The more I read about her, the more I seem to know her. |

We were studying about the Holocaust in school now. I found the topic very interesting so I searched for more information in the internet. After reading about Anne Frank, I have no words to describe my mixed reactions. First I was sad fo rthe pain Anne went through. Then I felt admiration toward this girl. She had lived bravely during the most horrific event of World War II. I am amazed at how much Anne Frank accomplished during her two years of hiding in the secret annex. She left her mark on this world through her diary, a symbol of hope through the worst times. |

I remember I was in high school the first time I read her book. It became one of my favorites. When my daughter was old enough I recommended it to her. She became as interested in it as I did. Since then we have both researched everything we could find on the Holocaust. Anne Frank is truly unforgettable. |
