I’m heartbroken.
And what about us? We aren't allowed to have an opinion! My, my, aren't they progressive! Not have an opinion! People can tell you to shut up, but they can't keep you from having an opinion. You can't forbid someone to have an opinion, no matter how young they are!"

This is where Mother and I differ greatly. Her advice in the face of melancholy is: ‘Think about all the suffering in the world and be thankful you’re not part of it.’ My advice is: ‘Go outside, to the country, enjoy the sun and all nature has to offer. Go outside and try to recapture the happiness within yourself; think of all the beauty in yourself and in everything around you and be happy.’
I don’t think Mother’s advice can be right, because what are you supposed to do if you become part of the suffering? You’d be completely lost. On the contrary, beauty remains, even in misfortune.

Oh, it's sad, very sad that the old adage has been confirmed for the umpteenth time: what one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does reflects on all Jews.

The world's been turned upside down. The most decent people are being sent to concentration camps, prisons and lonely cells, while the scum of the earth rules over young and old, rich and poor. One gets caught for black marketeering, another for hiding Jews or other unfortunate souls. Unless you're a Nazi, you don't know what's going to happen to you from one day to the next.

This book absolutely needs no introduction and there isn't much I could say that would do this book justice. I was expecting it to be very dark and heavy material, and there is certainly a lot of that. However, what I found most interesting is Anne's musings of her teenage years and her descriptions of her own behaviour and character. I thought they added a great dimension to the diary.
I also listened to this version by Helena Bonham Carter who really brought Anne to life. She reads it so appropriately and it made it such an immersive experience.

Annen kirjoitukset ovat aitoja nuoren tytön ajatuksia. Hämmentävää kirjassa on se, miten saman tyylistä tekstiä olisi voinut kirjoittaa oman ikäiseni tyttö omina teinivuosina. Rehelliset kuvaukset ärtymyksestä, seksuaalisuudesta, kaipuusta, vapaudenhalusta, omasta tahdosta ja nuoreksi naiseksi kasvamisesta.
Historian tämä kirja kuvaa rehellisesti, vaikkakin sota jää "pienelle" osalle päiväkirjamerkinnöissä. Se tekee mielestäni kirjasta niin kauniin. Kuinka arki jatkuu salaisessa siivessä vaikka sota myllää ympärillä. Kuinka ihastus kumpuaa vaikka ilmahälytykset soivat.
Kirjan loppu särkee erityisesti sydämen. Kun päiväkirjamerkinnät lähenevät 1944 elokuuta ja salaisen siiven paljastumista ilman, että Anne siitä tietää. Puheet toivosta ja elämästä sodan jälkeen kuuluvat vielä viimeisillä sivuilla.
