review 1: I found this booklet helpful in putting the Diary of Anne Frank in a historical perspective. It helps you understand what was going in the the world while Anne and her family were in hiding in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It also gives a timeline of events in Germany and Europe from the end of WWI until the end of WWII, and a timeline of the Frank family from the marriage of Anne's parents to the time of her Father's death in 1980. The booklet explains why the initial publishing of Anne's diary did not include all the entries contained in her diary. In this definitive edition of the Diary all entries are restored and there is a list of entry dates of the restored material.Study questions for teachers and classroom use are included, as well as questions for group discuss... moreion with adult readers.
review 2: This is a really good book. I was very intreguied to read about what anne frank and the other families had to go through during Hitler's rule. It is kind of depressing to read but once your done it is a book that makes you think of how a little girl can go through such a hard thing. The book was written just like her journal, each chapter was a journal entry. It brings you into the life of anne frank and what she saw, heard, and felt through her imprisonment. Though the book went slow at first it progressed, and was very suspensful. Not knowing wheather or not at any time the police could come and find her and her family, made you jump out of your chair when you got to a part that seemed like she was going to be cought. Not only was this book a great history lesson but also a lesson of compromise. You can really respect her for being a teeneage child having to be locked up everyday in the darkness sometimes, not being abel to speak to her freinds. it makes you open your eyes and really sit back and smell the roses. You start to think to be grateful of what you have and what can be taken away from you. The bigest lesson i learned was not to take things for granted because it can all be changed in a blink of an eye. less
