A Diary You'll Never Forget

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
By Anne Frank
Translated by B.M. Mooyaart
Published by Bantan
ISBN: 0-553-29698-1
Rating 10/10

The story of Anne Frank is a moving yet tragic one. Through her own words, this young girl tells about her life during the Holocaust. She lived in an attic for twenty-five months during World War II hiding from the Nazi Army because of her Jewish religion.

This book is a good way to ease children into learning about dark topic such as this. By reading a diary written by someone near relatively near their own age group, children can relate and empathize with what is going on. The truth and devastation of this time is still present, but the youth and innocence Anne gives it a gentle touch.
