The Diary of Anne Frank: The Revised Critical Edition | 
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️let me say this is not a book. It‘s a diary and reads like one. That said what a harrowing experience for this poor girl to grow up in those conditions. I had no idea what a powerful young lady she was. She would have made an awesome feminist with her forward thinking. Tragic and important story.
pickThis is my first time reading this. How has it taken me so long? I watched the movie The freedom writers and decided to start it straight away! Wow! This was just so much more than I thought it would be. I loved how progressive Anne is, and a feminist too! I knew that Anne died but it was still a devastating blow when it came. “Will I ever be able to write anything great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?” Yes you do Anne! ♥️👏🏻
pickDefinitely something you want to read to gain a different perspective
pickToday, Anne Frank would have turned 93 years old. I have read her diary multiple times, and it‘s one of my favourite books. Today, I want to remember Anne and honour her memory with my wonderful students @Sharv_Sona and @Lovelylottereader and @AnnaSummer7

There was a very good episode last night on 60 Minutes of an investigation into who betrayed the Frank family.

so-so3 stars for this poor girl. RIP
I have recently discovered my love for Memiors so I may be behind the times. Can you believe I still havent read these! 😱 I hope there is one of these that you all have not read. Otherwise, I would be happy to get something you all are looking forward to not on my list. #LMPBC #GroupV #Round11
“I‘ve found that there is always some beauty left — in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.” – The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
pickDespite the tragedy of her death and the horrific world events surrounding it, this is a wonderful book which captures the essence of being a young teen. Despite being in permanent lockdown, she thinks and feels much of the things that a 21st century teen does. Her honest and open account of her feelings, set against the backdrop of such an important historical event makes for essential reading. As poignant and relevant today as in the 1940s.
so-soThis book is good. I just wish that they put when she got taken away to the condo traction camp. Overall it is good.

1. Yes, I have always enjoyed reading. 86-89. I wanted my hands on every World War II book so I remember reading The Diary of Anne Frank for the first time. I didn't realize it then, but Europe was still suffering from the impact.
2. Randy Travis. I told my friends that Ralph Macchio and/or Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) was my boyfriend. Madonna.
3. The end of the Cold War. Tiananmen Square in China
pickThis enduring diary of a Jewish teenage girl who went into hiding from the Nazis with her family for two years, is an intimate account of her experiences, feelings and frank observations. It gives us a glimpse of the everyday fear and horrors of the Holocaust. Yet Anne‘s optimism is inspiring, and her diary reveals a sensitive girl who saw the best of human kind.

pickFrom last night watching izombie on Netflix and season five already, that's awesome 👍
pickAnne Frank is the go to book for getting an introduction into WWII and the horror that happened to the Jewish people. I reread this one every few years.
The Diary of Anne Frank is the book that showed me how engrossing and fascinating nonfiction can be!
“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” ― #AnneFrank, born on this date in 1929; died in 1945 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Very first page!!! Look at the date ~ June 12, 1942 Anne‘s 13th birthday 🎁 I forgot how innocent and childish this diary begins. Even when Anne discuses the anti Jewish Laws that have been put into effect, its written with such nonchalance, an air of frivolity. And how foretelling “ I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” 😢
Netflix has a special out called Historical Roasts and it's actually really funny and well done. Having read Anne Frank and visited her home in Amsterdam I couldn't pass this up. I was nervous but Gilbert Godfrey as Hitler was hysterical along with everyone roasting him.
Sorry if any offense!
Of course my countdown really begins with a quote..this one remains the one that is closest to my heart. I have always believed in the goodness of all. I‘ve always believed that everyone deserves a chance to let their goodness shine; even when they‘ve shown me their worse. Some people close to me see this as one of my weaknesses. I think it‘s a strength of mine. #annefrank #bookbabe35 #annefrank #livingwithpurpose
pick#litsylove #20thingsaboutme this is my previous post but wanted to get it out there :)
pickThe story of a young girl with immense charisma, unimaginable happenings, and an insight into unfurling youth. An inspirational, and a gratifying read brimming with a cascade of emotions.
