In effort to avoid detection, the family left a false trail suggesting they’d fled to Switzerland.

In the year 1939 the world’s worst genocide began. The holocaust was the reason for so many Jewish deaths. Along with many other Jews, Anne Frank and her family were hidden away in attempt to stay safe from the Nazis. Before Anne Frank went into hiding, she lived in Amsterdam with her family. After she got pushed away from her home she had to live in the secret annex. On Aug. 4, 1944, Anne Frank and her family were captured by the Gestapo in Amsterdam after more than two years in hiding.

In the cold, depressing years of World War II, a diary was written by a young girl named Anne Frank. In these years, Anne endured difficult circumstances and was forced to face almost complete isolation other than her family. Even though she went through this, she kept a positive outlook and maintained her diary, that would soon become inspirational. The diary is an incredible story of bravery and would enhance the knowledge of the terrible years of the Holocaust.

The Diary of Anne Frank, also published under the simple name The Diary of a Young Girl, is the first book on the Holocaust many young people read. Told in the straightforward, first-person voice of a young adolescent witnessing the horrors of the Nazi occupation as it unfolded before her eyes, it enabled readers of all ages and religious persuasions to become eyewitnesses to history. "Reading her diary is a convenient way, a hook, to introduce the Holocaust to, say, eighth-graders in Iowa" (Tugend 2001). However, because the diary was edited by Anne's father Otto Frank, it is important to remember that Anne's diary is very deliberately 'crafted' for her readership. The diary is a work of nonfiction, but very artfully-constructed nonfiction and Anne had a point-of-view she was determined to share with the world. She was not a simple, ingenious girl carelessly putting words down on paper.

In my opinion “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” is fascinating because of Anne’s tragic death in the end of the story and great writing. Based on my experience Mr. Godinez should use “The Diary of Anne Frank” next year. Mr. Godinez may use it to as an example to 8th graders to better understand the Holocaust. It teaches students well because it talks about hiding from a first person view.

I was in the eighth grade when we read Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl, after reading that book it made me want to discover more about the Holocaust. I ventured off to the internet and did some research but it was not enough for me. Then, second semester of eighth grade came and there was a book fair at my school. I went with my friends and we started looking around the book fair, as we were looking around my friends started getting books that they wanted to buy but not me. I was still looking around for a the “perfect book.”

I believe teenagers are most likely to read this book. The material is difficult enough that children won’t pick it up, and most adults wouldn’t be likely to be interested in such a thing. In general, I find teenagers more likely to read diaries- they tend to be more carefree and they can relate to them if a teenager is writing it as well. An adult might think the diary was childish at first and put it down if they didn’t have a valid reason to read it. This is, of course, assuming they didn’t know about the specifics of the book itself and the time period it was written in. Lastly, teengaers may be required to read the book as well, so they are the most likely to pick it up.

n the last line of the play The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank has made the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." During the Holocaust, Anne Frank had such a positive outlook on the situation she was in, despite all the hardships the Franks and Van Daans encountered during their time in hiding. How could a young lady of fourteen years think of such an empowering statement? In fact, what was Anne feeling during this time of great terror and tragedy? Only Anne knows the answer to this question, yet people still try to guess her feeling towards the Holocaust. Did the Holocaust change Anne Frank 's entire outlook on life and the world? Through all of this, Anne Frank still forgave all of the
