What Is Your Opinion About Anne Frank?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most important pieces of Holocaust literature. By keeping a journal, the young Anne Frank did a great service to future generations, as she recorded the life of a Jewish family in the Netherlands, facing Nazi persecution. Her diary serves not only as a powerful piece of literature, but also as a testimony that adds to the historical record. Historians rely on such recollections and memoirs when they study the past. The fact that a thirteen-year-old girl such as Anne kept such a detailed, thoughtful and organized diary is truly remarkable and it speaks to her intelligence.

    Anne Frank was also, in many ways, her own counsellor in a time of great suffering and tribulation. Anne realized that writing down her thoughts and feelings can help her cope with the anxiety of the war and Nazi persecution. On 12 June, 1942, Anne wrote that her journal would serve as a "great support and comfort." Reading through Anne's entries, it becomes evident that she was a very smart and mature girl, despite her very young age.
