August 17, 2014How can you rate someone's diary? What I can say is she would have changed the world and made a huge difference in women rights and much more. I guess she made a difference in a different way.

Always love reading about Anne frank.

fortemente umana e altruista, ancora di più nei suoi racconti ho potuto vedere l'ideale potente di una vita così breve, appena quindici anni e mezzo. una lettura giovane e forte; e soprattutto il sogno di una scrittrice, per sempre consegnato alla memoria dell'umanità.

Aangezien dit 1 van de eerste "volwassen" boeken was die ik al 7 of 8 jarige al las, heeft dit boek enorme nostalgische waarden en betekenis voor mij.
Elke keer als ik het herlees lees ik het toch anders of valt me iets anders op. Deze keer waren dat haar feministische trekjes, prachtig en underrated denk ik.

Herlezen: Ja, nooit genoeg.

"I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you..."
This book is a gem, though a difficult one to rate and review. For starters, The Diary of a Young Girl, is a hauntingly powerful glimpse into the mindset of a young girl as she goes through things, such terribly evil things, that no human being, let alone a child, should have had to experience. Yet it is truth. It happened. As a historical document, it is worth reading. The hard part of rating and reviewing such a thing comes with the fact that it is so hard to hear these truths, to know the darkness of what this child, this little girl, actually lived through. Of course it’s important, invaluable really, but at the same time it’s painful, bitter...and as a diary, almost too intimate to be read. It’s greatly disturbing. But it is powerful and deeply inspirational, however harrowing...
For all of those that judge this book by the same standards as they would any conventional fiction novel, NEWS FLASH, it’s a diary. It’s not meant to be a story. It wasn’t written with the intent of being entertainment or a literary masterpiece. It should not be read for enjoyments sake alone. The characters in this book are real, the things they went through are real. Anne was, IS, a real girl, not a fictionalized heroine. Her story should be told and remembered. For those that criticize her personality, well that’s just sad. For those that criticize the writing, even sadder.
"Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again."
This book deserves a solid 5 stars by historical significance standards alone, not to mention how enlightening it was. But honestly, Anne Frank was a treasure, a bright young girl who loved to contemplate, to read and write. She was intelligent, feisty and passionate. Her diary reflects the phases of her short life, going from naive innocence to matured strength through the sufferings and hardships. I highly recommend this read.
"I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains."
And her voice will remain...
[OFFICIAL RATING: 5 STARS]
FURTHER QUOTATIONS:
"I wish to go on living even after my death.”
"It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."
"In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit."
"Paper is more patient than man."
"I can't imagine how anyone can say: "I'm weak," and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character? The answer was: "Because it's so much easier not to!"
"An empty day, though clear and bright,
Is just as dark as any night."
"We aren't allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think."
"I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Nunca en la primaria me lo habían hecho leer y tipo si ya se que tengo 15 y blabla, pero no.
En fin, la historia obviamente es muuy triste y dolorosa, no tan solo por Anna, su familia y los Van Pels, si no por todos los judíos. Es un diario de una chica de 13 a 15 años, es denso en algunas partes pero, sigue siendo un diario. No creo poder encontrarle "una nota", es un diario, imaginense si ahora deciden venir a juzgar mi diario por algo que me pasó, es decir, no se si me explico, pero sigue siendo el diario de una chica, con sus enamoramientos, peleas con su familia, situaciones incómodas, mañanas molestas, etc, etc.
El epílogo es lo peor de todo creo, fue muy impactante ver como mueren cada uno de los refugiados. No encuentro las palabras. Y más que nada, me imagino a Otto Frank leyendolo y llorando con los pensamientos de Anna, cuando dice que es el mejor padre del mundo y cuando dice que ya no tienen la misma química. Dios, es una historia horrible. Ojalá nada de esto hubiera pasado...
Le pongo 3/5 porque como ya dije, no me parece mala, ni excelente, es tan solo un diario y una historia de vida.

This book is very inspirational where the novel is written as first person to get the reader more involved in the action or in the event that's taken place which is the Holocaust. The novel is written by a young girl whom actually lived through this event and is hiding form the Nazis because she herself is a Jew. This book catches my attention because of the aspect in which she is writing everything that has happened and how she feels. It puts the reader in suspense and she puts such descriptive words that make me, the reader, see through her eyes. I really recommend this book to any reader, honestly.

Ho letto in adolescenza il diario nella sua passata versione, mai posseduto una mia copia e quando ho trovato questa edizione con gli scritti completi non ho saputo resistere.
Sfogliandolo ho scoperto che esistono più versioni manipolate del diario di Anna, ed in realtà è stato come leggerlo per la prima volta.
Gli approfondimenti storici e le foto rendono la lettura ampia, come se ci si affacciasse al di fuori dell'alloggio segreto.
Rattrista leggere i sogni di una ragazzina, ignara del futuro funesto che l'aspetta, futuro che noi lettori conosciamo già, nonostante questo riesce ad essere una lettura frizzante oltre che divertente e profonda.
La versione non revisionata, ne dal padre ne dalle case editrici è ricca di verità, in cui Anna critica aspramente una mamma probabilmente incompresa, esplora se stessa con un cipiglio moderno, che sinceramente non mi aspettavo da una ragazza della prima metà del ventesimo secolo.
Consigliatissima la lettura!

February 9, 2021Ohne Zweifel ein wichtiges Zeitdokument von unbeschreiblichem Wert, dessen Überleben allein schon an ein Wunder grenzt und den Opfern dieser schrecklichen Zeit ein Gesicht und eine Stimme gibt. Ein Werk, das eine Unmenge an Fragen aufwirft und auf unterschiedlichste Weise berührt. In dieser Fassung angereichert durch biographische und historische Betrachtungen, ergänzende Geschichten, Bilder und Dokumente sowie ältere Versionen der Tagebücher, die die schriftstellerische Entwicklung von Anne Frank illustrieren.

These short stories and essays capture Anne Frank's skill as a young writer and imagination. So many stories are filled with the wisdom she displays in her diary.
From Eve's Dream:
"This flower is much happier than the rose. It doesn't care about the praise of others. The rose lives only for and by admiration: if she doesn't get this, she has no other reason to be glad. Her outward splendor is for others; inside she is empty and, therefore, without happiness. "

I read this in one of my high school literature classes where we had many sessions of reading and reflecting. I found this book to be very inspiring and fascinating as it pertains to such a different time and it is based on a real life incident. I would love to take the time to re-read this if I get the opportunity!

Sono passati almeno trent'anni da quando lessi questo libro a scuola. Rileggendolo oggi, trovo che il diario sia un modo molto diretto per imparare la storia. Il terribile contesto in cui si svolge emerge dalla lettura, pagina dopo pagina. Non si tratta di una mera trasposizione di eventi storici con date e numeri, qui la realtà è viva, più viva che mai, e nella lettura ci si lascia trasportare dalla quotidianeità di Anne, dei suoi familiari e degli amici segregati nel loro rifugio segreto.
Appassionante, devastante. C'è un'involontaria atmosfera di thriller, un giallo così ben riuscito ma purtroppo non è finzione. Chi ha tradito i Frank? Vorrei tanto saperlo, ma non ci sono certezze.
Questo diario fa riflettere, dato che si colloca in un periodo storico così spaventosamente vicino.
Per il resto, il libro oltre al diario riporta anche fotografie di Anne nel corso della sua breve vita, racconta la travagliata storia del libro nel suo percorso di pubblicazione, accenna ai lavori teatrali e alle trasposizioni cinematografiche che ne conseguirono. Inoltre propone anche due versioni alternative del diario. La prima fu la versione scritta di getto da Anne (lei infatti ebbe anche il tempo di riscriverlo con una sintassi più corretta e forse più romanzato). La seconda versione proposta è quella rivista dal padre. Non cambia di molto, non ci sono parti scandalose, nulla da censurare per i nostri tempi.
In sostanza, è doloroso rileggerlo ma farlo apre molto la mente. Anche per omaggiare Anne e il popolo ebraico.

This book is about Anne Frank. She is barely a teenager when the war begins. She is a Jew so she and her family hide in the attic of a friend. Since they are above a shop they had to stay quite for most of the day time, meaning cats and other animals weren't allowed. After a few months of staying there, another family moves in. A mother, father and son. The son is older the Anne, but the second youngest there. He also brings a cat. Anne isn't the most subtle person so she gets angry. Over the next while she has a lot of arguments, mostly over her youth. A dentist moves in later. She writes about how there was no space to be alone so she started making friends with the son. After a while they go into the bf, gf zone. Soon later, the Nazis discover their hideout. This was two years into the war. out of all of them the only person that survives the war is Anne's father, Otto.
This book takes place in WWII. It is a non-fiction book, an auto biography and a historical book. It is a must read, as it is written by a Jew that was living there and lived in it. It isn't just written as a book, it is written as a diary to someone who she feels she can really talk too. Through out the book you can see the characters change in such a short amount of time. Some of them go crazy, some grow depressed, some got angry and some just shut the world out. It is and amazing book that everyone will love.

I want to buy this book, it's something I think I should read more than once. What a special young lady Anne was, she knew herself so well. She examined herself almost daily to find ways of improving herself while living in this extremely trying of conditions,living with her parents, sister another family of three and a dentist. Not all of these were easy to get along with. What a writer she would have been if she had lived. She so much wanted to become a journalist.
When this family first went into hiding food wasn't a problem, they actually had quite good meals. But that changed when food became hard to get and they ended up living on rotten potatoes, lettuce and a little porridge.
All the while in hiding Anne continued to learn languages and other lessons and was an avid reader.
Again man's inhumanity to man that they had to go into hiding in the first place simply because they were Jews and when they were discovered and sent to concentration camps where all but her father perished. If it were a fictitious story it would make me cry but this wasn't fiction, it was truth.

Que buen libro, probablemente el ultimo que termine en el 2014, fue muy bueno para terminar el año. Todos sabíamos como iba a terminar el libro antes de leerlo pero nunca me imagine encontrar un niña tan viva sueños y en reflexiones y con tan alta capacidad literaria que la vez crece mientras avanza el libro. Dejo una de las reflexiones finales que me encanto, parafraseo " a los adultos la vida le resulta más fácil que a los jóvenes, ellos ya tienen su mente formada en cambio los jóvenes con todos los días cambian de opinión sobre las cosas lo cual hace mucho mas difícil vivir" disculpe cualquiera que esté leyendo el mal parafraseo de su pensamiento pero me encanto!

When I started this book I thought it was boring and unworthy. But now that I finished it I will never not feel sad when I'll hear the name Anne Frank.
I don't think there has ever exected such a pure, beautiful and innocent soul like hers. The end of this story was tragic and unfair, but that's something that everyone knows. The world is cruel and it's not good and it never was for people like Anne who deserve to be in a better place.
This ending really changed my opinion about this book. And I rate it 5/5 stars.

It was a bit of a weird read if I'm honest. Because it was her own personal diary and I was well aware of that fact so it felt like an invasion of privacy that I was reading it. It was a very interesting read but then, understandably, the last part upset me a bit, not even because they all died, but simply for the injustice of it, that we read every single day of these people's lives for a few years only to have a few paragraphs summing up the rest of their lives. It wasn't my favourite ever, but then again who reads Anne Frank's diary for entertainment value?
September 23, 2012
During the hiatus for jug day I listened to the diary of Anne frank while driving in the car to and from Vermont. Listening to the book I was able to make connections to information I had learned last year in World Studies and in English in 8th grade about WW2 and the holocaust. This book I had been meaning to read for years, and now I'm glad I have. If I hadn't felt reverence to Jews during the holocaust before, which I had, I would and do now.

Cuando leo libros de este tipo solo me dan ganas de una cosa: matar a Hitler mil veces mas aunque ya lo esté. Increíble como narra Ana todo. Sobre todo sus sentimientos pese a la situación que se encuentra. Le llegas a coger mucho cariño...yo lloré muchisímo las dos veces que vi la película. Brutal.

Se que no se puede juzgar a un diario con una calificación debido a que es algo personas pero hubieron momentos en los que sencillamente se me hizo muy repetitivo. Leí este libro por mi clase de Literatura y, honestamente, creo que me hubiera gustado mucho mas si lo hubiera leído por mi cuenta. Me gusto mucho 4 y 1/2 estrellas.
September 6, 2016
When I finished this book I was filled with mixed emotions; knowing the author would never have the joy or satisfaction of knowing her works would live beyond her life, and beyond her generation. The writing was intriguing and articulate, and she couldn't have done a better job at bringing her circumstances to life. So real and so poignant.
