I have read this book 3 times now and enjoy reading it each time. It does a great job of going of the historical happenings of the time as well as sharing part of Margot Frank’s diary. A must read. ( )

This book is very specific and gives you good information of what the Holocaust was like and how a Jewish family could try to survive during it. 5Q4P The cover art is okay and I'd recommend this to high school students and adults. I chose to read this book because I am very interested in Anne Frank and her family's life. TylerS

This book contains both Anne's diary proper, plus additional material she wrote, hoping it would be published as part of a collection of experiences of people who had gone into hiding. It also explains her background and what happened to her and her family after they were discovered and arrested, via eyewitnesses who encountered them.

After watching the 2009 TV dramatisation of Anne's life in hiding,I decided to read the book. It was poignant to read of her experiences and hopes, whilst knowing her fate. It is an involving and interesting account, and something that is undoubtedly valuable to historians. What happened to her is unimaginable nowadays in Europe,and yet occured within living memory. Anne's diary stands as an important testament to why such persecution was so terrible. This book, by including the accounts of her life afterwards, makes it all the more so. Incidentally, I felt that the TV series seemed to be a good interpretation of Anne's experiences. ( )
