I finally did it. (The Diary of Anne Frank)

[AZ Jim]

It was published in 1947 but I just finally purchased and read "The Diary of Anne Frank". I don't know why I kept putting it off but now I caught up with the rest of the world.

I hate to admit it but I haven't read it yet. I've seen documentaries and films about her, but haven't read the book.

 

[SifuPhil]

I haven't read it either - I'm not into fiction.

It really gives one insight into the situation she and the others of her family and a couple of others went through locked away in hiding for 25 months to avoid capture by the Germans. Remarkable courage.

It was required reading in my HS literature glass.

You must be talking about the Bible, not TDOAF...

Well, there has been an entire culture since the '60's that has maintained that the diaries are forgeries, in part or in full. I'm not saying they are or are not, just that the controversy continues.

I have read it... TWICE..

 

[AprilT]

Fiction or not, it was a depiction of a period in time which suffering of a people was nothing less than horrific. Even if this one person didn't exist, there were Anne Franks in spirit.

 

[Butterfly]

I read it as a kid. At that time of life, I found it very scary.

I read it as a child and then had the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. It really made the book come to life for me.

I took the low road and watched the movie 2 or 3 times.
