Diary of a Young Girl-Premium

Didn't expect this much from Anne Frank. Love the way she wrote each and every paragraph. It doesn't feel like she's writing instead it feels like she's telling a story to us. Love the book and the delivery from Amazon is great also. The packaging is slightly not better but the condition of the book is as expected. 10/10 from me to Amazon ❤️😁

I could relate this book to my Covid19 days.Anne & I experienced similar things.Targeted by enemy.Everyday there is news someone got killer.Staying with family but had fights.Mental health issues popped up.I could get out but the poor girl couldn't.Sad ending haunted a few days like Schindler's list.

This book is as said the life of a young girl who went into hiding with family during world war... don't think that this book will bore you out and think that it contains only historical contents ....this book very well describes the everyday mindset of people in hiding and their mood swings and the struggle of teenage ...i can't say that book has a very great quality...but a good one for the price ... don't hesitate to purchase it ..go for it

This is a wonderful book..I used to read in leisure time and by reading this book I reduced my stress

I don’t really think I, nor anyone else, could “review” such a book because of the nature of its contents and therefore will think of it more of a few things that the book leaves me with so that I can continue to write them rather than being forced to stop because the idea of “reviewing” such a topic is one I dare not entertain. I would also like to point out that a star rating system is hardly appropriate here but again a generic Amazon thing. I give it five stars because (a) it deserves no less (b) it’s historical, the diary, value is invaluable.While reading this book I learnt that Germany started to withdraw in 1944 and thus leading to Auschwitz being liberated on: January 27th 1945 of course by this time Anne, for whatever reason, had already been transported elsewhere. I can’t imagine the suffering she endured during her time at Auschwitz and can only keep repeating “what if” and the one that strikes me the most is “what if she hadn’t of been transported” I sense the truth is that Hitler, attempting to hide his war crimes, had withdrawn as many as possible before hand. I sense the camp was in uproar and attempt to hide the crimes was far harder than they’d imagine since most of it still remained upon liberation. Not all of this is factual mind and only what I understand of what I’ve read but it makes me feel something words cannot describe, or I am not able to put into, that Anne came so close to the end, liberation, and yet did not make it. Lets not forget the other seven, of whom six did not make it, who suffered equally also as well as the countless others who did not keep a diary but suffered a fate equal to Anne and the seven others that were hiding with her. In truth I can’t begin to imagine what Otto Frank’s life was like post liberation because the loss of his family and the Van Daan’s and Dussel must have been unimaginable. The fate of all those involved can be found post Anne’s diary at the end of the book for quick reference. The fact, so the book says, that the train that Anne and the others had been put on out of Westerbrook was the last one haunts me also.There’s not a lot more to say, for me anyhow. I feel that any opinion I should write today might be extended on another for one cannot completely give an opinion on all they feel and want to write in one sitting and therefore it’s a shame reviews are one input and that’s your lot.I can only feel great sorrow that at some point within the last one hundred years, so soon in the worlds history, this tragic events unfolded. The scar one man, and his, to him, loyal SS officers left on the world will cause a stain on history that shall, and should not, ever be forgotten.I watched a short fifteen minute documentary named “Auschwitz” directed by James Moll recently and in that it states that upon arrival at Auschwitz the criteria for left, to survive, and right, to die, was not set and therefore the Jew’s, and other kinds of peoples, lives whom arrived at Auschwitz could be decided in either way in an instant. I’ve yet to do research, and I will, on the Nuremberg trials whom got what fate but I think it some, not entirely, justice that many men got their comeuppance for their terrible crimes during this period of time. I also read, in one my many WW2 books, that the hate that was instilled in SS officers mind could not be comprehended by anyone that was not inside the camp, I dare to imagine what it must take to force a human to accept that another deserves to meet a premature end simply because their of a certain decent. Says it all really that Hitler took his own life rather than face the music, cowards and that’s the understatement of all of time. There’s many horrid things I could say and mean every one of them but shall not in such a place. During the documentary it also stated that SS officers only performed one job along the killing chain so that they did not feel like they had sent anyone to death and rather moved on them on during their job a point rather than anything to say about it.A book that I’ll hold with me for as long as possible. I thank Otto Frank, and the others whom worked with him, to endure the grief, on an unimaginable scale, and to bring us the complete works of Anne’s diary so that those beyond the generation of 1939-1945 can understand the events of which unfolded in all its horror.

There are really two parts to this book or Diary. The first is the diary itself. This is a young girl who has shared her thoughts with Kitty (The name she gives her diary). Through her writing you can see the tense life she led in such a confined space with her family and four others. The way the people interact, the stress causes problems but the fact that three of the members of the group are children becoming adults is also clear. Problems with food and hygiene feature as well. Anne describes it all with candid clarity.The second part is the knowledge of what happens afterwards. The fact that this life is taken away, that all these lives are taken. But with Anne she writes of her hopes and dreams. She wants to be a writer. Well in a way she has achieved more than she could have dreamed of 35 million + copies sold in 75 different languages. Her father has left us this diary and the "Secret Annex" as a reminder of the Holocaust and Jewish persecution and the cost to one family of this. It is very very moving.

This is 70th edition anniversary edition of Anne’s book, it is an amalgamation of all her writing, including parts her father had censored, about thirty percent more text than other editions. A must read for all, it will show a more complex individual and a more expanded explanation for some of the living situation.Anne died In 1945 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April or March of that year, she was 15 years old, her crime was to be a jew, for two year of her short life she lived in hiding and left this remarkable document of mans inhumanity.She was a precocious intelligent girl, that loved life and nature as she tells us many times in her diary. She was a teeneger like many teenagers, fighting with her mother, preoccupied with her own growing up. loving, hating, crying, laughing while imprisoned behind a bookcase with eight other people, keeping quiet and invisible, while pouring her heart out into a diary that makes her come alive through the haze of time.We will never know any other destiny for this remarkable little woman and jet she achieved some of her dreams by writing her diary and showing us that she was a person first last and always. That she was never a label but the singular, the great Anne Frank.“5 April 1944: I finally realized that I must do my schoolwork to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write ..., but it remains to be seen whether I really have talent ...And if I don't have the talent to write books or newspaper articles, I can always write for myself. But I want to achieve more than that. I can't imagine living like Mother, Mrs. van Daan and all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten. I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! ...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! And that's why I'm so grateful to God for having given me this gift, which I can use to develop myself and to express all that's inside me!When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?”— Anne Frank

What hasn't already been said about this book? Valuable reading for anyone of any age (although in order to fully appreciate I would recommend being at least 12 to read this). While this is often held up as a book about the war, or the Holocaust and of Jewish persecution (and it is all of these things), it's also just a diary of a teenage girl, and the thoughts she has which wander from serious topics to trivial day to day life.The definitive edition is probably the recommended version to read - passages that were initially omitted by Otto have been reinstated, and also included are Anne's own revisions (which depending on the version you buy are clearly marked as being written at a later date or not).I purchased the Hardback edition in a slipcase - yes it's more money but it's beautiful and includes far more photos than the paperback editions.

I found this true story by and about Anne Frank fascinating and gripping, but was on tenterhooks towards the end, knowing that at some point I was about to come to Anne's final diary entry before the much-feared and anticipated discovery of those in hiding occurred. I was reading the Kindle edition of Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl, published by Lifebooks on 12 March 2018. I thought the translation of the diary to English, apparently done by writer and translator Mirjam Pressler, was superb. However, the proof reading, which I assume was down to Lifebooks, was disgraceful. Whenever I come across a typo or similar in a Kindle book, I use the Kindle facility to report the error back so that (presumably) it can be corrected by someone centrally, which I hope means that future purchasers of that Kindle book buy a corrected version. Typos are usually few and far between, but in this book I must have reported at least 60 typing errors. It was very distracting and annoying to keep stumbling across glaring typed mistakes, as well as unforgivable. Lifebooks should be ashamed of themselves. I sincerely hope that my corrections are acted upon quickly so that future purchasers of this edition don't have to suffer the same impediment to their enjoyment of what is otherwise a fabulous and emotional read. I am aware from the Foreword of the edition that some of Anne's original written errors have been kept in, but the kind of mistakes I am referring to are not those, but just plain, lazy typos.
