The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
283 Pages, Published In 1947
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The dairy of a 13-year old Jewish girl during the two years hiding behind a bookshelf in a warehouse building in the Nazi occupied Netherlands during WWII. She wrote about her thoughts, feelings, ideals, dreams, and hopes. She wrote about her relationships with her mother and father, sister, and boyfriend. Many of her dreams were not realized as she died in a concentration camp in 1945. But her father, the only survivor in the family, fulfilled her one dream to be a writer, after publishing her diary in 1947. Her passage on 4/5/1944: Will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies. She certainly was one of the greatest diarist in history.
