BOOK REVIEW - ANIT JOBBY

THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL
       The  Diary of A Young Girl is an autobiography written by Anne Frank. Anne Frank was born on June 12,1929 in the historic German city of Frankfurt. Frankfurt owed much of its commercial and cultural preeminence to its Jewish community of which  Franks were members. Anne, began to write  her diary at the age of thirteen. 
          In her diary Anne describes those times in 1942 when Nazis occupied Holland. Anne, along with her family, fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding in Secret Annexe of an old office building accompanied by one more family due to the increasing persecution against jews. Anne's diary gives a vivid impression of her experience in the hiding place for two years. She named her diary as kitty. Anne's diary records of the difficulties and harassament that jews faced during those times. For two years, they were cut off from the outside world, faced hunger, boredom, problems of living in a confined place, fear of being discovered by the army men and death. Anne's diary played an important role in bringing out the horrors of wars and degradation of the human spirit. Anne was fifteen, when the family was found and sent to concentration camps where she died. 
                               In her diary, Anne often writes about her feelings of isolation and loneliness. Through the writing she develops her ideas of the world, of faith and of the natural world she misses so much. Frank's diary is especially a story of faith, hope and love in the face of hate.
            The Diary of Young Girl remains one of the most moving and widely read firsthand accounts of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust.
