The Diary of a Young Girl
by Anne Frank, Eleanor Roosevelt , B.M. Mooyaart
by Anne Frank, Eleanor Roosevelt , B.M. Mooyaart
Anne Frank is a 13 year-old girl. She and her family, in addition to four of their friends, were hiding in their "Secret Annex" in the period of World War II.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I feel like I haven't read a good book for a long time. Also, I LOVE books which are written in a "diary format".
I didn't like the way she treated her mother. She ,obviously through her writings, hated her and didn't feel comfortable when they're together!
One of the best lines in the book was, when Anne was talking about her lover, Peter:
"Oh, Peter, if only I could help you, if only you would let me! Together we could drive away your loneliness and mine!"
I just want to clarify that regardless of whether it was written by Anne or by somebody else, whether it was true or never happened, I just read it for Reading nothing more nothing less.
Finally, it's a very nice book, well written and full of almost "everything"!

But you shouldn't! Read it and see for your self. May be you will believe her story after all and maybe you will not, give it a try. This book is one of the most famous diary books. Many critics do not beleive that the girl wrote it her self. They beleive that it was written by an adult about a child.
i can't disagree with you. her style is writing is special i also didn't believe that she wrote it herself.
الأخت عليا..بغض النظر عن مدى صحة المذكرات, قراءتي لها كانت من أجل متعة القراءة لا أقل ولا أكثر..
سمعت وقرأت كثيرا ان المذكرات ملفقة زيد فيها وبالغوا في الوصف.. لكن لايهمني ذلك كثيرا طالما اني أقرأ واحدة من أفضل أنواع الكتب بالنسبة لي.. وهي "المذكرات"
أرجو أن تكون وجهة نظري وصلت :)
تعليق موفق اظني سأبحث عن الكتاب و أضعه في قائمة قراءاتي
يبدو لي من وصفك أنه من نوعية كتب اجازة الصيف
such a shame that people like the above commenters exist. If I suggested that the holocaust itself was a ploy by "alyahud" to make Gentiles feel guilty, I suspect I could get an Amin from this crowd. As usual the discussion about holocaust literature continues to show that the lessons of the holocaust have yet to be learned. anti-semitism lives on among all other prejudices, remains a political and theological platform, and hitlers ghost continues to terrorize.
3ayb 3aleikum!

If you believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions, then let them have their own opinions. Saying that the holocaust didn't exist doesn't mean that who said it is anti-semitic, or whatever you're trying to pin on other people.
Yes Hitler was evil and did horrible things to innocent people, but we don't have to believe every single thing was told about him and you can't prove that this thing or that thing did really take place. After all, a lot of what we heard or read was told and controlled by who won the war.
In short, We can't be sure about what's true and what's not.
Everyone should be allowed to say whatever s/he want but not every opinion deserves the same amount of respect. I don't know the case about other countries but in China any form of WWII revisionism means spitting on the grave of tens of millions of people lost in that war & is quite universally despised, while in the western world the only holocaust deniers I know are either new nazis or religious fanatics, and the only reason they think so is that they want to see another, more successful Hitler, however good they are at hiding these behind religious references, geopolitical concerns or populist appeals.
