Anne Frank's diary telling the story of her years in hiding from the Nazis has affected millions of people. But what was she like as a small girl, at home with her family and friends; at play and at school? In the first half of the book we meet Anne as a small child growing up with her family in Germany. Then we follow her flight to Holland to escape the Nazis; the German invasion and the gradual isolation, then outright persecution, of the Jewish population which forces the family into hiding; the years in the Secret Annex; and her last heart-breaking journey.

Anne Frank is a Jewish girl in a time when and where being Jewish could cost you your freedom, peace, home, family, and in the end...your life. Even though Anne was young, she had full understanding of why the Jewish people were being treated harshly by the Germans. There has got to be someone else to blame besides ourselves for the price Germany paid after WWi. For this reason, Germany began an onslaught of destruction, terror, and persecution against the Jews, with Anne and her family being among the persecuted. To escape from the Germans, her father had built a secret hideaway that the family had to live in with 4 more other people. It was a crawl space, but it was safe....just as long as they did not make any noise. For two years, Anne learned that even though she could not make any noise with her mouth, she was able to let out scream after scream, emotion after emotion, conversation after conversation within the confines of the diary that she kept. It was then just a little Jewish girl's only means of expression. But to the world, it became The Diary of Anne Frank. ( )

I really enjoyed reading this story because of the details and emotions the book offers. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about this time period or history in general.

Anne Frank was a German Jew who was hiding out with her family and two other German Jews to escape getting caught and imprisoned by Hitler. Her family hid in an annex building that required them to be very quiet and they weren't allowed to leave. Anne Frank and her family eventually got caught and were imprisoned. Her dad was the only one who after war, survived. Anne, her mother and her sister Margot all died. I really loved reading about Anne Frank and always have. This book made me want to find more about her and read more. It was interesting seeing how quickly things changed for their family, but they made the best out of what they had and what they were going through. ( )
