Anne Franks story is inspiring to all. This young girl was able to stay hidden for 25 months to stay safe. Not only is she a hero but she is one of the youngest. Her story should be inspirational to all. Her work is also fantastic. For a young girl she writes very maturely. Anne Franks story will be alive forever and so will she. |

It's depressing that such a young girl with this large amount of talent had to meet an early demise. True, Anne did wish to become a writer, but I do not believe that this was what she meant to accomplish. It gives me a sickening feeling to know that a brilliant mind such as her's had to be rubbed from the face of the earth in a cruel and untimely manner. This inspirational writing is very uplifting, and it is my hope that for many years to come that this work continues to be published and read world-wide. The world needs to know her story, and about one of the darkest times in world history. |

Anne Frank's story makes you feel a connection to a young girl that lived during these terrible times. Her diary gives you insight on how a young girl could always stay positive even though there were inhuman actions everywhere you go. It's amazing to know that even though she could not physically be here with us anymore, her thoughts could live on forever. |

Anne Frank is impossibly mature for someone of her age and her situation. If I had been put in her shoes I wouldn't be able to cope half as well as she did. She managed to channel her thoughts into her diary in a way everyone can relate to. Even through all the hardships she endured, she managed to keep a positive outlook. |

It's very interesting to see how one event can completely change the course of history. At the Munich conference several years before the start of World War II, England and France allowed Hitler to take part of Czechoslovakia because they didn't want to fight another war nor could they fund one. If England and France put their foot down and didn't allow Hitler to do as he pleased, it is quite possible that WW II and the Holocaust could have been completely avoided. |

Anne Frank has a lot of deep philosophy in some of her writing. She has this hopeful attitude about the world in a time when everything was dark. I wish she was still around because she would have been a great writer. |

Looking at where Anne Frank had to hide and reading some of her diary, it really intrigues me of how she survived. Being cramped in that small area for so long would have definitely drove me insane. It is also very sad that Anne Frank did not make it through the concentration camp. She died a month before the concentration camp she was in was taken over. If she had lived I think that would have changed a lot, because she would be around to tell her story in more details than her diary explains. |

Anne Frank's story touched my heart, and I was absolutely in shock that she died in a camp. I was rooting for all the way, and I was hoping that she would have survived, and was able to truly tell her story in person. She was a precocious child, who was an outstanding writer. I love all of her quotes, and her positive outlook on life, even though walls were crumbling around her. |

The living conditions were tight and for 2 years living there seems nearly impossible. Anne Frank makes the best of it and finds every bright aspect of her families situation. As time went on Anne kept a positive attitude and throughout there entire stay she saw the good in all of the situations. |

I feel like it is extremely interesting how Anne Frank managed to live in the same place for 25 months, which is over two years. She also was also very mature for her age with the way she wrote. She had a very positive outlook on life even though her world was falling apart around her. Anne Frank was an inspiration to me and she impacted anyone who reads her diary. |
