I read the book just a few years ago. It touched me so much, it made me realise that the war really invovled people who were like me, not just the soldiers. I cried when i read the book, and i also laughed at her antics as I can remember doing the same things. The information online also made me cry. What a brave girl Anne Frank was! |

I was 10 and in the 4th grade when Diary...lit up on the library shelf. Sensitive and introspective like Anne, admiration filled my soul and pain filled my heart. Growing up in a very dysfunctional family, I found courage to keep taking the next step, the next day, the next thing with hope in my heart for kindness toward others and insight in the "now"of life. Because of Anne's book, I spent all of my summer that year reading everything I could get my hands on about WWII, and with German ancestry, began to understand the shame and hiddenness that permeated my parents' lives even though they were generations removed from the Old Country. So I investigated a bit, and found they had sent CARE packages to German relatives in the War, to people trapped by a madman they didnt suspect soon enough to stop. So for me, the reading of Anne's work was at once very global and very personal, and I was forever changed. |

Once I tried to read Anne Frank, but I wasn't too interested in it. But in school a few years ago, I read the play, the book, watched an Anne Frank biography, watched the film, and I was extremely heartbroken. In such a short amount of time, one small girl and her family could go through such pain and torcher really got my mind going. I would definitely like to go to the Holocaust Museum to pay a tribute to Anne, to actually see the diary that she recorded these wonderful thoughts in, and if she could hear me now, I want her to know that she fulfilled her dream of becoming a great writer. |

When I first read Anne's diary I was 12. Now I am 19 and i am reading it again because knowing all I can about the girl who wrote it is important to me now! Not Because she died but because it is the point in history that keeps me coming back to what first learned about WW2, Anne Frank. I love that I can always look back and read over and over the one thing that made me love history so much. Right now I am doing all that I can to find out about Anne and many others so that i can tell my future children what I have learned because of this sweet and innocent girl.I wanted so much when I first read this book to meet the girl who wrote it. Because it had inspired me to write too, but now that I have grown up I want nothing more that to find out what it was like for her and the people with her in hiding. |

The first time I ever read (or attempted to read) The Diary of Anna Frank was when I was in the 5th grade. I saw her picture on the fron of the book when I was in my school library. I thought she looked interesting and I wondered why a girl not much older looking than me was on the front of a book. I read it over and over until I understood it. I have read it dozens of times now and my ambition is to go to the Anne Frank House sometime in my life. Her story is very heart wrenhcing and it helped me to realize that I need to be kinder to people. |

When I read the Diary of Anne Frank, I felt grateful about all the thing we have that they didn't at the time. I am still not finished with it but it'll be hard to. When I told my mom a quick summary about a small bit I read, she told me that Anne's family was actually luckier than most other Jewish Families. That made me feel HORRIBLE! |

2 days ago I was in Amsterdam and visited the Anne Frank house. It is a strange eperience. The photos still on the walls, the blackout curtains still in place and just retracing the steps Ann would have taken was so sad. The are quotes from the diary printed onto the walls and tv screens showing interviews with Mieg who was one of the helpers and also film of Anns father speaking about her. I went in with no idea of the enormous feeling of sadness that would overwhelm me whilst in there. She was truly remarkable to have such strength and insight for such a young person. Everyone should have to walk through that house, the world must never forget. |
