“People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things“ is one of the beautiful things she wrote with this one being just a month before she was captured, on July 6th 1944. Such intelligence and emotional maturity strikes from this young girl to write with such knowledge on both herself and the world around her. Her essence of normalcy in such hard times really advocate for her personality.
The reasons this weren’t a five star review from me is because I didn’t exactly find myself completely compelled to go onto the next page nor do I think I would have typically picked up a book about a 13 to 15-year-old’s life besides the political and historical context. For the context however, I think this is a vital read to understand just one person’s perspective of eight people in this mass genocide.

venetiana's review against another edition
I've read the original so many times, and the book is so, so dear to my heart. I physically couldn't bear to listen to it with this narration.
It sounds so much like badly acted contemporary German theatre, it almost felt disrespectful to Anne's thoughtful, vulnerable, honest, sensitive writing.
I sincerely hope you read it before you venture into the German audio book.
