Anne Frank: Diary of a young girl
Review by Nina N. (12 yrs.)
translated by Claudia Anthony
She lives in Amsterdam with her family. She is Jewish.
When the Second World War breaks out the family disappears. They hide in the attic of Mr. Frank's office block. From the other side the door of the attic functions as a shelf.
Some time later the family van Daan and Mr. Düssel join their hiding place. Therefore, it's very confined for all of them. They quarrel a lot and live in permanent fear of being discovered.
That's why they are afraid when thieves break into the office. A typewriter is stolen, but they are not discovered.
One evening Mr. van Daan steals into the kitchen while the others are already sleeping and
eats all the food which is left over. But because he is too noisy the others catch him
eating. Mrs. Frank is furious and quarrels with Mr. van Daan. Another cause of argument is
the fact that Mrs. van Daan always gives her husband more to eat than the others.
Anne is fourteen. After some time in the attic she falls in love with Peter van Daan what she writes into her diary but doesn't tell anybody.
Miep, who has always brought them food, suddenly doesn't turn up anymore. They have to manage without her.
One day there are no further entries into the diary. The book says that she was deported to Auschwitz and killed.
