Answer 2

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived and died during the Holocaust. The Frank family hid from the Nazis for two years in a Annex at the back of a warehouse. During that time, Anne kept a diary which she wrote about the horrors of war and the problems of being a teenager.

She gave us an opportunity to see how racial discrimination hurts people first hand and how it can harm for years after.

Answer 3

Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929. In order to escape Nazi persecution the family fled to Amsterdam. There the family hid in a secret annex in a building that held her father's business. While in hiding Anne kept a diary. They hid there from 1942-1944. The family was betrayed to the Germans in 1944. Anne dies at the age of 15 from typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Her diary was found and turned over to her father. It is said he was the only surviving family member. I think her diary is an important book.

Yes, it's a very well known story. Tragic and very true. I visited Anne Franks home in Amsterdam last year, they took us on a tour of it and we were able to see photos of her family and friends, as well as her trek through the concentration camps.

Answer 9

It is a very important book.
I remember a routine by Whoopie Goldberg in which she compares her day to day problems with those of Anne Frank. Her closing line was something like, "It was then I realized the true meaning of 'trivial pursuit.'"

Answer 10

Yes. She hid in an Amsterdam attic during WWII and kept a diary of events. Historically very important ! - !

Answer 11

Yes, it's the diary of a young Jewish girl in hiding from the Nazis during WWII. It's a good historical record of the horrors of that era and regime.

I think it's important as a message of hope. Anne believes in the goodness of people despite the horrid conditions of her life in hiding and her ultimate death.
