I had heard about Anne Frank since I was a little girl, but just had the opportunity to read her diary. I found it so compelling that a 14 year old had so much insight to herself. On some level, I identify with her and I am amazed at her writing skills. Had she survived the war, she would have become the Barbara Walters/Christian Amanpour of her time. Today, she lives in our hearts. Anne taught me one thing; Dare to dream because in some way, it will come through. |

I read the Diary many years ago and in the last few years have reread it to teach it in my class. We are preparing to see the play and I was looking for additional information and great learning activities for my students. I believe this site will open their eyes to the plight of suffering around the world even now. I believe that this will help them to become more tolerant and more aware of what they can do as individuals to "make the world a better place". |

I am currently doing a project on the infamous Anne Frank and had found much difficulty in it until now. This site is very useful and inspirational . Her life reflects light on the entire human race and gives hope that morality is still alive! |

When I first read the Diary of Anne Frank, I was in the seventh grade and I could not believe her strength and courage. I read it again last summer and I took away an entirely different message. Her diary allows people of all ages to read and take away a different message, whether it be hope, courage, determination, love, or the many other lessons it holds. Anne Frank and her story have always stayed with me over the past ten years. I will never forget Anne and her story, and I am sure that my children, and my children's children will read the Diary of Anne Frank and learn a lesson in history as well as life. |

I think that this tragic story should be read by everyone, young and old alike, we can learn so much from this young woman,if Anne represent's anything, surely it should be to prevent this type of thing of happening again. |

The first time I read Anne's diary, I just laughed at the funny parts (describing the Van Daans and so on) and grew bored toward the end. The second time I read it, I still laughed, but I really payed attention to the rest as well. The third time, I began to cry at the end because, after going through all the hardships and even occasional joys of living in hiding, and after relating to her so well through the paper, I got the message "Anne's diary ends here." Of course I had read it twice before; but the third time, I really related to her, I felt like she was talking directly to me (though I know many others have probably thought this as well). Only the third time did I really realize that here was a human being, with sorrows and joys and longings and pains and ambitions, just like me-whose life had simply been snuffed out because one day, someone decided the Jews were not real human beings... the Holocaust never interested me before. Now I am utterly fascinated and horrified by it. After reading the diary, I do have one comfort: Anne Frank lives on in the hearts of everyone who reads her diary, and she is remembered after her death and is famous for her writings - just as she wanted to be. |

Anne Frank is not just an inspiration, she is a hero. Her ideals changed me, her courage and faith inspired me. Her experiences taught me a great deal and I will always remember her. Though she is not here, her spirit will continue to live on. |

I didn't read The Diary of Anne Frank in school--I read it because I wanted to know more about who she was and why she is so famous. When I finished the book I don't know how to describe how I felt. I, too, love to write, but I never thought my ideas were any good, but after I read Anne's personal thoughts and feelings I felt I could really relate to her and she didn't let anyone take away her dreams. Her words just speak to your heart and you can't describe why. Her story is a sad one, but Anne is truly a vital piece to history, and yet all she wanted to be was a writer. |
