But the last scene where they pause each person and say when they died was so touching.<br /><br />vinjii,<br />it's true. The fact that they didn't survive last little bit when they had hidden for two years is somehow worse than if they had died in the beginning of the war. Yet, without those two years, we wouldn't have this wonderful legacy from Anne.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-6424704568914898812010-01-30T14:36:11.018+00:002010-01-30T14:36:11.018+00:00This is a very touching book, I've read it sev...This is a very touching book, I've read it several time and I enjoyed it. However the worst thing for me is to know that she died just two months before they were freed, I mean 2 months, 8 weeks, some 60 days, that's what gets me most when I read this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-46508432038588625912010-01-30T11:45:59.402+00:002010-01-30T11:45:59.402+00:00They are running the Ann Frank diaries again on tv...They are running the Ann Frank diaries again on tv here in the UK, and also several documentaries too.<br />Apparently the woman who hid the Frank family died a few days ago. They ran a recent interview with her on the news.<br />I couldn't help wondering how I would have coped under such circumstances, and came to the conclusion, probably not half as well.<br />Thanks for sharing.Sherry Gloaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143365764333974956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-34647630347840586532010-01-25T20:16:36.066+00:002010-01-25T20:16:36.066+00:00Zahir and Raven, I am glad I reminded you.

While it's not exactly a pleasant book, I think it's a story worth remembering.<br /><br />Collectonian, I hope you will one day read it, and find it rewarding. I think of remembering the story as a tribute to people who suffered. It's impossible for us to sympathise with everyone, especially when those days are so far removed from us, but when I read a personal account like this, it makes them bit for real for me.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-46056122812556207982010-01-25T05:53:26.052+00:002010-01-25T05:53:26.052+00:00I've never read this book, but reading your re...I've never read this book, but reading your review inspired me to actually go read up on who she was. I knew the very basics, that she was a girl who was in hiding with her family and eventually died, but I never knew she was an aspiring writer, nor the circumstances of the hiding and her death (I always thought the Nazi's had found the family and killed them on the spot). Thank you for inspiring me to learn :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-49761332209890888872010-01-25T04:22:55.212+00:002010-01-25T04:22:55.212+00:00I haven't read this since middle school.

Thanks so much for reminding me of her.Zahir Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533361554787004824noreply@blogger.com
