challenging dark emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

The Diary of Anne Frank is a deeply important account of the Holocaust, especially in my opinion because it's written from a child's perspective, which is a unique perspective that should be more closely studied. Anne's thoughts range from tortured at the knowledge of the war's horrors, to the delight and confusion of adolescence, to boredom, to insightful observations and clever remarks. Remembering her brings gratitude to my life that I haven't personally experienced her plight, but more importantly her words are a reminder to prioritize resisting bigotry, ignorance, racism, and interpersonal hierarchy.

Very interesting and very sad especially the afterword. I learned and read parts of this in school, but never the whole thing. I do have to say don’t go into this expecting like an action packed diary because it’s not it’s this poor girls diary where she shared her preteen/teenage thoughts.
