[Skittles]

The Diary of Anne Frank. Has anyone ever read it? I thik it's really sad, what they did to her. I saw a play and read the Book. And meet some of her friends that were with her. From the Consterion camp. In PERSON!! I was kinda embassest..and really sad. Because when they told there story..they started to cry. T.T

[JellyBeing]

I've read and studied the play version of it.

It was quite sad and very tradgic. :/

[Mish]

We had to read it in school aaages ago. It was quite interesting to see what it was like for someone around my age during the holocaust.


Speaking of the play, though, I heard that on one showing, the acting of the person who played Anne Frank was so bad that someone from the audience shouted "SHE'S IN THE ATTIC!" when the nazis were inspecting the place she was hiding out in. xD; lol.

[La Sofa]

No, never heard of the book. :/

I'm reading it right now. I't really sad. TT.TT

Really? That's mean! ><

Then why even bother posting here? Are you THAT desperate to get your post count up? I mean, c'mon, man.


Anyway, I had to read the book for English class a couple years ago. It really WAS sad. It was hell trying to write a personal response on that book the next day. It's really cool that they were able to recover the diary so that they could make copies and publish them so that we can read them today.

[Haruho]

I read that in 3rd grade.

I know, dude really...come on.

It's really hard to reasond to something like this. but it's real easy to relate too. I mean, on her 15th brithday they took her way and then she was sent a constation camp. Then a few weeks before, the war ends. And they were coming to set the people free. but she died before they showed up. it's really sad. :(

How could you not have? Unless you have never studied World War II before -____- It is one of the most moving and I suppose famous pieces of literature to emerge from the war. More than 25 million copies have been sold worldwide and it has been translated into more than 50 languages =_= It is also considered to be one of the key texts of the twentieth century. And you say you haven't heard of it >_>

Anyway, yes it was very moving. It almost seems to be unreal, that it could never happen in real life. But it's a true story. It shows the harsh reality of the war from the viewpoint of a child in hiding. The threat of discovery everyday. Being trapped in an attic with her only outlet being her diary. Imagine how her father felt going back there after the war and finding his dead daughters diary. I'm sure he probably died inside if there was anything left to kill. War tends to do that to people =/

[Skittles]

it's the saddies book I've read. That was baied on a true story anyways. but I really enjoyed reading it. But the view point I read it from, was a Drama. So it wasen't much. But i did learn alot about it.

[Catch the Rain]

I remember reading this, it still makes me a little sad now, her diary was her only real friend in a time when even tomorrow seemed uncertain.

War isn't easy on anyone and I for one found the account to be very moving and thought provoking. At the end of the day, what is the use in war? It is always the innocents that get hurt.

I too saw a version of the play, though I think the director was pro-nazi as he made Anne out to be the most evil vindictive little cow he could =/

I think it is a book everyone should read at least once, I think it can teach a lot.


@La Sofa: No way have you never heard of it :/

[Xejicka]

Awww. I remeber that book. I agree with everyone here that it is sad. It's so unfortunate for her. If you liked that book though, I recommend Night by Elie Weisel (sp?). It's also sad

[Laurence_Fox]

No, never heard of the book. :/

How can you never have read Anne Frank?

First time we read an excerpt from it I was in 5th grade and it touched something in me.

I read the rest of the book on my own when I was a freshman in High School and it remains one of my favorites since I'm somewhat of a WWII geek. The book wonderfully illustrates the fear of those times yet the family stayed strong together.

I think the tree in front of the house was recently cut down due to disease. They were going to try and transplant part of it but I haven't heard anything more.

[Kaiionel]

It was so sad reading this book, because she was such a smart, sweet, thoughtful girl, from what I can tell. I think she would have been a good friend. She had her whole life ahead of her and for it to come to that abrupt end...ugh. That's so tragic. The classroom was so quiet (I read it last year for English class) once we got to the end and read about how her life ended. Poor family. Poor everyone who had to suffer in those concentration camps.

[Mr.Sprinkles]

I never read it but my friend did he said she was a little uptight Bish and i was like how rude are you you a$$hole you have no idea what it was like then so STFU

Dude, so did I...except the 'a couple years ago' bit. (I got a A+ for my response *victory pose*)

...didn't anyone protest that he had presented Anne incorrectly?

[♥ M e w I c h i g o ♥]

I haven't read it, but I want to... But I have been to the Anne Frank house. I was so sad when I saw the video playing... T_T

[raglflagl]

I currently am reading Anne Frank. It was cruel what the Germans did to the Jews, having tortured them, and set them aside, just because they were brainwashed by their dictator. It was really sad just to read all the things that happened to the Jews in and out of the Concentration Camp.

[Falling Star]

I have not read the book, sadly but I leared about WWII in Soc St, I feel so sorry for those people that have been sent to concentration and death camps and I feel sorry for all of those people that died as well...

[S m i l e s <3]

I've read that book. It was really sad. I just wish I knew her native language so I could read the book in its original text because sometimes things don't translate well. Anyway I also read a story from one of her friend's point of view. After reading it I came to the conclusion that if Anne had known that her father was in fact still alive, instead of thinking everyone in her family was dead, she might have had the strength to live just a little longer. I think the camp she was at was freed days after she died. So tragic.

[CrazyKhFan]

ive read book called "Anne Frank Remembered: The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family"
It was really sentimental.

[Friendly_Heartless]

I didn't read the book, but I saw the movie in my school. It is a sad story...

[Pyrɸ]

Holy crap we have a necrobump. o: S m i l e s <3 I thought I taught you better. 8<

Anyway...ON TOPIC I guess... <_<

I studied the book, for both Literature class, as well as History class. It honestly was a sad story, and unfortunately it's a story about the hardcore truth about the people of this world. It's depressing. However, it does teach us many things, about history, as well as tolerance. The movie was also good, and of course sentimental...but I think it captured the story of her life and portrayed the life of the Jewish people and those effected by the war quite well.

RS, you are really lucky to have meet met Anne Frank's friends in real life. That's really cool.

[Charmeleon]

Like S m i l e s <3 said, the camp was indeed freed a few days after Anne's death. WOII must have been really horrible years. My grandfather knows, he lost his father during the war...

[Heaven's Angel]

Wow... It's a very sad story, indeed. =(

I'm reading the play in one of my classes... Every time I read it, it just touches my heart... What a sad story. =(

[Magick]

It's like, why couldn't she hold out a little longer? She almost could have lived....but I spose, at that point in her life, there seemed like nothing worth living for...they made a movie on it, and after reading the book I watched it.....very sad, not even gonna think about it.

[Nova]

I read it... I thought it was very sad and very moving.
It made me realize what war was like for the people in hiding.
very tragic, and touching in a way.

[mrsbaggins]

its an amazing book... they made a great movie of it, too.

[MissInvisible]

I only read half of it. But it's so sad and depressing, I don't know if I want to finish reading it...

Anne Frank and I have the same birthday!! Just saying...

[Cherry]

They actually made a drama about Anne Frank on TV (BBC) and it was so sad (And was almost as accurate as the book). I had already read the book in the past, however, I still managed to well up inside at the end of the drama when she died...

So sad... And the drama posed a more realistic version of how she would have been back in the Second World war... A more energetic teenager than prosed on the diary itself.

[Destined]

I'm actually doing my term paper for my Children's Lit class on the Diary of Anne Frank. I've never read the diary but I did see the ABC mini drama about it years ago. I won't shy away from the knowledge that it is concerning a wide range of emotions and themes taht I hope to never have to encounter or that anyone should ever again.

I'm looking forward to it.

[Friendly_Heartless]

We watched the movie and read the book in class. Seems like scary times back then... And it makes you kind of sad that Anne really didn't make it in the end. Very sad story indeed... But it's still good, none the less...

[VI schemer]

The irony of the last entries just killed me.

[clawtooth35]

The sad thing is that if she had survived, we probably wouldn't know about her amazing story.

Also, did you know that her dad was going to BURN it. He went back to the annex after te war and Meip Geis (the woman who brought them food) gave him a pile of papers and he asked what sh was going to do with them. He said to burn them and she pointed out the diary.

[gintasthebest]

I'm reading that in school right now. I want to cry at some parts of it because it's sad how they had to live... I just don't get why Hitler hated Jews when he was part Jewish, and if you had to be perfect with blonde hair and blue eyes when once again, Hitler didn't have blonde hair or blue eyes! I feel bad for Anne. Being a teenage girl and living the way she had to. I can't even image how bad it must've been.

[Rayku]

Sadly, I did not read the book yet, but we are getting up to WWII so I might be able to convince my history teacher to make us read it


But they did bring the play to our school once, I cried, it was so sad

[Finale]

i never watched or read it but i got the guidelines. Hitler was a jerk >.< and a GIANT hypocrite. She suffered and i think it may help prevent another world war =3
