Hello,
That was amazing! To take one young girl's writings and make them into a master piece! I think that the ending work of art was very touching and a very good way of ending the hole short summary of her life. I am thirteen also and I can relate to the boy's part, but that is about it. I now realize how hard it was for her to saty shut up in that attic for 2 full years! She has so much courage and strength and she never shows her weaknesses! That short video of her life and her diary made me realize that. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Katie |

The first time I read the Diary of Anne Frank, I was in the 8th grade in 1980. I was so embarrassed because there were times I would find myself wiping away the tears, trying to hide from all of the other kids in the classroom. I was so touched by her courage, that my English teacher suggested that I write to her father, Otto, who at the time was still alive. I had many feelings to tell him and I believe that the letter was a good 2 pages. I expressed my love for Anne and told him how much admiration I have for her. A month later, to my surprise, Mr. Frank wrote me a very nice letter along with sending a picture of himself, Anne, and her sister, Margot. I have these treasures still today and hope to pass them on down to my children. |

I have just completed The Definitive Edition of Anne's diary. I could not put it down and am completely fascinated with her. I am amazed that such wisdom and strength could come from within someone so young and so alienated from society. The most saddening thing of all is to think of what a brilliant writing career lay before her and how we have all been cheated of such an endearing and inspiring talent.
I am so grateful to those who have worked so hard to keep Anne's words alive and to the creators of this wonderful website. |

Anne Frank is one of my heroes. I remeber reading a page from the diary when I was in 7th grade. the book belonged to my friend, and the first page captivated me. I wanted to possess this book. On my 23rd birthday, I got it as a gift from my twin brother who recalled my longign for the book. I am so amazed at the person Anne Frank was. And as I watched the footage on this site, I could actually feel Anne Frank as a living person. In a world as bleak as it was then,she managed to give 'hope' a new meaning. I feel so strongly about the emotions she wrote aboutas going through her teenage years.At many parts, I dentify with her need to fly free like an uncaged bird.If there was one totally unreal wish I could ever have...it would be to go into the past and live a day with the Frank family in the 'Secret Annexe', sharing Anne's thoughts and life. |

Ever since I read Anne Frank's diary for the first time, when I was 11 years old, I have been obsessed with her! I began to researh her whole life and buy all the books I could get about her in the bookstores. Later on I had a major project in school, and I chose Anne Frank as the subject. I had a good feeling about telling all my classmates about her, and I think, that they also was fascinated by her story; who would not?! A few years later my mother and I travelled to Amsterdam where we of course visited the Anne Frank house. Now, I have been there to times and I would love to see it again! It felt like my home and I could feel her prescense there; she had also walked trough those rooms, and all her feelings was still in the air. A few months ago I spotted a movie about her called "Anne Frank: The Whole Story". That was a very touching movie, and I still love to see it, altough I cry every time at the end. I also feel similar to Anne Frank; I'm jewish too, my granparents where also in Auschwitz in 1944. Anne Frank's story has just helped me understand the whole thing better. She's my example. She guides me, teaches me when I need it the most. She will always be with me and live on forever in my heart. |

I was so surprised reading this to know a girl my age could have written such a wity collection of stories.I was also sadened to know that anne did accomplish her dream of becoming a writter but only after she was dead.If she had lived longer oh my what she could have written she would have been and i believe is the best writter of her age.I just wish she could have lived long.Im am so glad to you for posting her story.Im glad to know that she made her life so meaningful in times where one may have hoped to die.She puts the world to shame with her strength and i hope that with her story people my age will learn to stop worrying about such ridiculous things as hair and popularity and worry more about history and live and how to be the best person you can. |

My heart shattered into pieces when i saw the only known photoclip of Anne. I saw her face, she was a real human. I cannot imagine what the nazi did to her. How would you feel if you were thrown into a pit of burning bodies? or perhaps a furnace? Living...! |

The ending of this book made me cry. It's just so sudden. (by ending i mean the part when they tell what happened to Anne and all the other people)... i mean, you read this entire diary in which a girl pours out her heart, her feelings, her angst and at the end you suddenly realize that those were the last years of her life... the last miserable years... yet, she was so strong throughout the whole book. she kept an open mind about things and tried hard not to be judgemental. And the people round her; they were just normal, ordinary people suffering simply because of their beliefs. You come to realize how incredibly inhumane the Holocaust really was. Just think, what would the Nazis have done if they'd tried to get to know the Jews they killed before they killed them... |
