Response to Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl



Author's Note:
This is my response to the first hundred pages of Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl.

While the book has sold over 25 million copies, it is actually just the diary of a girl who lived during the Holocaust.   The Holocaust was the time when Adolf Hitler was in power of Germany.  During the first hundred pages it describes, in detail, about the secret apartment that her family lived in and everyone living with them.  Anne writes extremely well in this diary and I found it to be very intriguing.

In her diary she tells about her troubles she had her mom and her sister.  She also talks about the deep love she had for her father.  In her diary she calls their hiding a Secret Annex, it was located in the top floors of her father's office building.  Finally, I thought the best part that she wrote about was when she told about all of her friends she had to leave when her family went into hiding.
