Very poignant.

This book was great. It had sad moments and it had funny moments. My favorite part about this was Anne & Peter. They were always arguing but at the end of the day they feel in love. The part that i didnt like was when the green police came in and took them. But both families were my favorites.

I liked reading this book. The diary of anne frank gave me a greater understanding of how many jews were treated and punished during world war two when hitler was in power. During this time period, Hitler had taken millions of Jews into concentration camps and exterminated them. Anne told of her experience and wat she went through when hitler took over her town and nazis started taking families out of their homes. The diary of anne frank is being written as anne and her family go into hiding above her fathers old warehouse. I think people of all ages will like this book because it tells a lesson and teaches those of today's generation what people in germany and its surrounding countries went through during the 1940's.

Anne Frank is about a young girl who is jewish and the holocaust is (in her current time) happening. Her parents destroyed the house and wrote a note telling anyone who saw that they went to somewhere else besides where they are going. They went to a building with a man in charge and he was Mr.Kraler the boss of the company. He had aloud them to stay in the attic in his building and an assistant, Meep, had brought them food and clothes. Anne for awhile had to live alone with only her family, but soon after the Van Daans moved in. Anne wasn't happy that more people had moved in becasue they brought a boy named, Peter. Peter and Anne at first didn't even talk to each other. It was quite an awkward enviorment. Then much later mr Dussel ate the cat and put its heart on peter's bed. Mr. Dussel then moved into anne's room. Anne never really got to go in her room and write which she was very mad about becasue she loved to write. Writing was a very passionate passion for Anne. In the end Anne and her family got caught and all of them went to camps. Everyone except the dad died in the camps. He fourtunatly ran away and didn't get caught. He went back to the buildings attic and found her diary he died later from old age. This book get reccommeded by Shaelynn Rigsbee. Thank you.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" follows a young girl, her family, and their experiences while hiding in Amsterdam during the Holocaust. Perspective wise, this play would introduce students to the point of view of someone around their age who actually lived during the Holocaust. Kids will inevitably be learning about the Holocaust, and this play offers an accessible character for middle school students. As we talked about in class, it would be a good idea to team teach this play with the history teacher, as he or she will mostly likely have more information to offer about this topic. Since this play deals with some heavier issues that middle school students might have a harder time connecting with completely, creating an anticipation guide would help students relate to the material beforehand (Beers). In addition, this play could be paired with Kelly Gallagher's "I was a Witness" writing strategy for students to think about what they have been witnesses to in their own lives. This activity would also serve to build students connections with Anne as someone they can relate to.

Releer este libro, muestra lo maravillosamente triste, pero en el fondo el agrado de la historia de la pequeña Ana, como así ella misma se describe. Una historia verídica contada desde la perspectiva de una víctima de su tiempo, que con una asombrosa la fuerza y madurez relata su vida hasta convertirse en adolescente.

Tras la invasión de Holanda, los Frank, comerciantes judíos emigraron a Ámsterdam en 1933, en pequeña buhardilla anexa a un edificio logran ocultarse de la Gestapo, la policía secreta de la Alemania nazi. Ocho personas recluidas desde junio de 1942 hasta agosto de 1944, año en que fueron detenido y más luego traslado a los campos de concentración.

Leerlo o escucharlo nos trasporta a esos años de horror y barbarie nazi, lo desgarrarte que resultaron ser esos años, todo muy humano

Ana murió En el campo de Bergen-Belsen en marzo de 1945

Really beautiful and powerful read. I’m playing Edith Frank this winter and I can’t wait to tell this important story.

When World War Two started Anne was 13. After the war continued, and her family had to go into hiding. There she has to live with another family, a stranger, and her own family. She rooms with her sister for the first year. Then after that a new man comes, and she's forced room with him. After that she falls in love with the other family's son. Then after living there for over two years they are found by the green police. They have to go too camps. After the war was over only Anne's father survived.

The Diarry of Ann Frank Play was the first time that I have read anything on Ann Frank. I had heard of Ann before but I still have never read her diarry. The play however was not something that I really enjoyed, which is why I gave it a two for my rating.

What I liked about the play was the perspective you get about a Jew in hiding during WWII. I have read many books on WWII but none that were just about Jews hiding from the Nazi's. After reading the play I have a much deeper appreciation for the brave Jews that hid from the German's during that time period. I also liked how the play gave the views of all the characters. In the Diarry of Ann Frank everything is based on Ann's opinions but in the play you get to understand the opinions and traits of all the characters based on the dialogue. I prefer reading books where the characters are devevoloped by the author and not by the main character when a book is written in first person.

There were definitely some things I didn't like about the play. First, since the play was written like a play, it showed the characters name in bold before every quotation. Eventually this became redundant and confusing to read when the whole play is mostly dialogue. I also thought the story was boring even though it gave a unique perspective of Jews in hiding. The problem was that nothing really changed from beginning to end. It was the same characters and setting and problem from start to finish. There wasn't really a clear climax or event that made the play fun to read. The play also started slow and unlike most books it stayed that way.

What surprised me about the play was that both the Franks and the family they were with were captured in the secret Annex, and brought to concentration camps. I had known of Ann Frank's story before I read the play, but I didn't know she went to a concentration camp. The other thing that surprised me was that she died in the camp and Mr. Frank was the only one who stayed alive. I was also surprised how emotionless Mr. Frank was when he went back to the Annex when the war was over. It had been there last home and the place his family had lived before they died, but he didn't seem like he was going to cry or anything.

What impacted my thinking was Ann's positive attitude throughtout the play. She didn't ever seem bothered about their situtation or the fact that they were in grave danger. She was grateful just to be in the Annex. She also was not mad at the Nazi's or the world. She said that the world was just going through a phase and that it would soon be over. Her attitude taught me to be more grateful for what I have because her situation was a lot worse than mine.

Overall, despite the unique perspective and message I got from the play, I thought it was boring and it scared me away from reading the actual diarry. I think the story of the two family's is remarkable, but to read about their day to day life is redundant. I would not recomend reading the play about Ann Frank to anyone.

The Diary of Anne Frank is a play detailing Anne Frank's experiences as a Jewish girl from Holland during the rise of Nazi power in Europe and eventually her capture by Nazi forces. In an 8th grade classroom, this play could function as a spearhead for a unit focusing on the Holocaust. Ideally it would be in an interdisciplinary context with students' History classes; however, regardless, a teacher can use the same strategies to help students understand both the Holocaust and the content of the play. This work can be used for students as an example of the Inform/Explain purpose outlined in Gallagher's text Write Like This. Students, while likely split into small groups where everyone has a part, will be able to read this text entirely aloud because it enables easy reading through dramatic dialogue. While reading, they can be driven to consider the elements of the play that set up the scene, draw on background knowledge, and make the text informative without taking away from the dramatic devices and genre. This text can be used as a model text for students to detail a formative experience they have had that may have been at the result of circumstance, society, or even discrimination. No matter what they choose to discuss, students will be directed to choose something that they believe will work best through the conventions of the dramatic genre. In order to highlight the concept of interdependence, this activity will illuminate the importance of genre for students and how their content depends entirely on how it is communicated. Also, to further this investigation, the teacher can choose an excerpt of the novel The Diary of a Young Girl that has content reflecting the same as a moment in the play, and the class can look at them side-by-side to discover benefits/drawbacks to using either genre. The use of the play over the novel will help students engage differently and more easily with Anne Frank's story since students must hear their classmates read the words and read the words themselves. In a heavy topic like the Holocaust, this infusion of personality with language can enable students to engage with the topic on a personal level and ideally develop an empathy that may not come as seamlessly from reading the novel.

This isn't actually the book I read, but I read a play based on The Diary Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich, that was a book (Goodreads for some reason did not include the book). Anyways I loved the book, I just wish it would have been longer.

I must have read this book once upon a time, but now that I will be visiting Anne Frank's House soon, I wanted to refresh my memory of her story...

This diary is just unbelievable. I still can't comprehend that this really happened. What a remarkable, young lady - so intelligent and eloquent in her retelling of the day's, week's, year's events. I feel massively inspired by her words and how she conducted herself: so witty, clever and level-headed. Everyone could learn a thing or two from reading this. I am so glad I have read this with a fresh pair of eyes. We definitely need to be more gracious and appreciative of the lives we have.

'I am young and I possess many buried qualities; I am young and strong and am living a great adventure; I am still in the midst of it and can't grumble the whole day long. I have been giving a lot, a happy nature, a great deal of cheerfulness and strength. Every day, I feel that I am developing inwardly, that the liberation is drawing nearer and how beautiful nature is, how good the people are about me, how interesting this adventure is! Why, then, should I be in despair?'

Even when she was being transported to her iminent death, she was still witnessed gazing out the windows of the train, taking it all in, staring out into the world in awe by her father Otto (the only survivor of them all)
