Anne frank is legnedary for hiding away in an annex for two years away from the Nazi's especially at a young age its hard to throw away your life and forget everything and everyone whos on the other side of the door. Anne was so smart, bright, and had a really good head on her shoulders. She may not have lived but her dream did come true, her diary was published. And on top of that, its the most known diary across the world |

The story of Anne Frank had a lasting impact on my life. It showed me first hand of what life was like for people in hiding during the Holocuast. Anee Frank showed me a different way to view life. She taught me to find the good in everything, and to enjoy life while it lasts, because not everyone is so lucky. |

Anne Frank was an extraordinary person and i find myself wanting to be like her more and more each day. She was outgoing and when everyone else is looking down she is always looking up. Also her words are so inspirational to me. The fact that she thought that everyone is good at heart in a time when so many people were against her, is beyond me completely. When i think of myself, i know for a fact that i would never have been able to keep up the optimism she had. It makes me really sad to think of all the innocent people that died just because they believed in something that one man looked down upon, and i get mad when i think of all of the people that helped him. I wish that Anne has lived through the concentration camps because i know she would be a great writer. It is ironic though that even though she did die, she still persued her dream, just in d different way. I know what Mr.Frank was feeling at the end of a play that i have read, when he said that Anne puts him to shame. In ways i feel the same way because i know she would have made the world a better place if she lived. She saw something in life and in people at 14 years old that others strive to find throughout their whole life. Even after seeing what she says im still stuggiling (and trying hard) to get to the point that she was at. She makes me want to be a better person over all, and i think that is really great. |

I think it is amazing that a 13 year-old girl could be able to live through all of the hardships that the Jews faced in World War II without becoming depressed. On top of that, she was able to keep a detailed record of her time in hiding in the Secret Annex. From listening to her essay, "Give", it is clear that she was a serious writer and was incredibly intelligent for her age. If I had to go into hiding to avoid capture from someone, I think I would be too scared to move too much, and I definitely wouldn't be able to write over a hundred pages in essays, stories, and diary entries like Anne did. People could learn a lot from just reading what Anne has to say, from kids to adults. It is a shame that she is not still alive today. |

I got many things out of this website but I think the most important thing being Anne's individual story. Without Anne's diary kids would be learning more about Hitler and the Jews instead of learning about one's individual experience through World War 2. I think it's very interesting to learn about not just a person during the war but a child who was in hiding. Anne;s individual story shared a lot of experiences and gave a lot about what life was like for a person during World War 2. Anne's diary and story was in a way like an inside story. |

I think Anne Frank ispirational girl because she stuck strong through times I don't think any of us could deal with. For two years she was in hiding I would've probably lost hope. At first I thought Anne frank was just a important person in history for doing something great, honestly I didn't even know who she was. Reading " The Diary of Anne frank" has shocked me and taught me about how hard it was hiding for two years and how lucky we really are. There is no one I can compare to with anne Frank. She's a historical figure in history that will be remembered as a famous writer in history for centuries to come. |

Anne Frank is an inspirational figure of her time. What she went through over those two years in the secret Annex would be insufferable to many teens this generation. I don't believe that it is possible for me to relate to Anne Frank. I cant even contemplate what a girl of her enthusiasm would do for two years in an attic. But it isn't all about her life in the Secret Annex it also is how her life was before she went into hiding. Anne was always exposed to the war in her country and I believe that would really destroy some young lives constantly having to suffer through this violence. How she thought of people always being good is incredible. She must have really set her mind up to this idea of how people really are, at a very young age and had to have a very forgiving heart to continue believing in this theory after all she's seen. Overall Anne Frank is a important person in history and will change the lives of millions for many more years because of her actions. |

I think that Anne frank was correct 100% about how people act to eachother. I see it going on avery where and i was well aware of it. I am sure that many peple relize that they treat others like flee bitten wild animals, but infact - like Anne said - every one is equal. It is the possesion that are like a wall seperating humans from one another. If we learn to tear down that wall every one will be able to live in harmony and there will be less wars and battles. But then there are those poeople that enjoy hurting others and actually instead of tearing down the wall they build on it, each comment like a brick adding more and more. Every one is the same at heart we are all of the same species also. Do you see dany other animal battle its own race in global scales? of course their is battles between them but they are for a reason not just because onet hinks that the other is inferior to the others like we humans do. So if we learn to over come our differances we will make the world a better place, both mentaly and physically. With that said will you be able to follow Annes adivce and help change the world? |

I really think that Anne is an amazing person. The story "Give" I really liked because I thought it was true, if we all help each other than eventually we won't need to. There will be no one to help beause evryone is equal. I also liked how she thought of people as equal to each other and that just because some people have less wealth and power, don't mean they should be treated diffrently. I really do think Anne was smart, and I like her views on life. If people took her advise, then I thenk the world would be much better. |

I admire Anne for all that she has had to go through, and yet staying positive through it all. I don't think any of us can comprehend what she and the rest of her family went through just to stay alive for the two years they were in hiding. I like reading stories like this that are about historical events from a primary source. The person writing it actually experienced what had happened. I wonder what people would think if she had lived through it all. What would have happened. If she would have become a journalist, or just famous for her diary entries? Even so I wonder if she would even want to publish her own diary, or just keep it until she died. I greatly enjoyed reading about her and would like to learn more... |
