I read The Diary of Anne Frank when I was in the eighth grade. I am now 23 years old and remember that book as if it was yesterday. For some reason in the last few weeks I have become more interested in the holocaust.When I first started doing research on the holocaust, jsut by reading the introduction and history, made me strongly dislike Germany, although this happened years ago. But then I realized that I was acting the same way they did. Judged because of who they were. It makes me believe that if we dont stop the hatred and judgement of other people that this part of history will repeat itself and that scares me. This girl at the age of 15 was more mature and brave than most people in their thirties and forties and that is truely amazaing. She went into hiding she wouldnt be taken away from her family, yet she didnt feel hatred toward the Germans. She believed that everyone is equal. This book will always have a big influence on me. Although its sad, it also tells the life of one brave young girl who in a million years would have her stories published and read by millions. My Heart go out to her and to the millions of people who passed during the holocaust. |

Read the book because I had to in school in middle school. I didn't realize the impact it had on my life until much later. The way I view tragedy, the holocaust itself, is very much shaped by her and her writing. The last entry "Give!" should be better known than it is. It should be shouted from the rooftops daily. |

Having to know about her life was horrible and Wonderful. The horrible was that she had to face the consequences of going to hiding, and facing Bergin-Belsin or what ever its called I forgot. It was sickening. If I were there I would stand up to HITLER a horrible person. The Good thing is that I got to know about her life and what she experienced during her life... even though I never read her diary, I know that she is always be with us when ever we read her diary...Thank You Annelies Frank!!! |

Every single time I read a book or article about the Holocaust I cry. I cry for hours on end for all those people and I cry with anger at myself for having such a wondeful life when so many people today and in the past did not and don't. But no matter how much it hurts to read about the awful events that took place I know that we have a responsibility- to all those who lost loved ones, or who lost their lives, or lost the chance to love- to learn as much as we can about what happened starting on that horrible November night, so we never, ever, make the same mistakes again. |

I read the book in 8th grade and it was really interesting i think people should really read this book. there should be a part 2 to this story and peter and anne should've had the chance to make their little friendship that they had and they should've continued their little love connection that they had i thought it was really sweet and cute. |

Below is my comment, a poem that shares my feelings, thoughts, sense of reality, hope, admiration and respect. It has been given to the UK and Amsterdam Anne Frank orgainzations for their usage-free, I simply retain rights. It is out of respect.
ANNE FRANK SPEAKS
Do not weep for the faceless
Are beyond thinking
Of their daily work
Standing like skinless trees
Swaying black against the sun
Swinging me beside the moist earth
On top of still-moving flesh
And then shovels
Turning, turning
Among the jigsaw pieces of torn skin
And bleached bones
Some eaten away
In the midst of their waste
Yet for those that survive
It is good to know
That daughters and sons
Can be born from the agony
Of golden teeth pulled from the dead
But do not weep for me
For I am proud to have grown
Into this discipline
And in truth
It was not an unknown darkness
That I joined
But a familiar belonging
As I slipped next to Margot
And felt the memory of her face
And though the earth swallowed us
Sound runs deep
And there are shared voices in the dark.
Do not weep
Even though you knew
The end
From the very beginning
This is not such an uncommon experience
After all
An argument can end in hatred
A kiss, in love
And though I did not believe at first,
I found God
And though I did not live
You found me.

I've read only a little bit of Anne Franks Diary and hearing how it ends from others makes me very emotional and just so hard to explain. More peace in the world back then would have changed how things were today. Who would be so angry enough to hate on Jews
that much. They are also still people. |
