Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank, with her parents and sister and four other people, went into hiding in the sealed-off back rooms of an Amsterdam office building in 1942, when the Nazi invaders intensified their persecution of Jews.

For two years they remained safe. In August 1944 they were betrayed, Anne died in the ghastly concentration camp at Belsen. All the others perished too, except her father.

Anne's astonishingly intimate diary was found by accident. With a touch of genius it records the strains of her unusual life, the problems of her unfolding womanhood, her falling in love, her unswerving faith in her religion. And it reveals the shining nobility of her spirit.

Now known and loved the world over through State, Screen and TV adaptations or in translation, this touchingly human document remains timeless in its appeal. --back cover

Müßig, über Dramaturgie oder Stil nachzudenken

Genau wie erwartet. Die Bedeutung des Tagebuchs ergibt sich ja in erster Linie aus seiner besonderen Situation, nämlich dass Anne Frank aus ihrer Lage heraus geschrieben hat und umgekommen ist, ohne noch etwas geraderücken zu können. Insofern ist es müßig, über Dramaturgie oder Stil nachzudenken, und man kann sich ganz darauf einlassen, es mit einer authentischen Stimme ihrer Zeit zu tun zu haben. Das macht das Lesen bedrückend, mehr ist aber auch nicht herauszuholen.

《Αγαπητή Κίτυ
[...]
Φαντάσου ένα μυθιστόρημα με θέμα το Παράσπιτο, δημοσιευμένο από μένα! Μη μου πεις ότι δε θα ήταν πολύ ενδιαφέρον!》

Πράγματι, το βιβλίο αυτό είναι κάτι παραπάνω από ενδιαφέρον. Είναι συγκλονιστικό από κάθε άποψη• καταρχήν διότι ξέρεις πολύ καλά τι έγινε (είναι μια πασίγνωστη ιστορία αυτή της Άννας Φρανκ) κι όμως έχεις αγωνία διαβάζοντας το ημερολόγιο, πέρα από την έκπληξη που σου δημιουργεί η λογοτεχνική γραφή ενός δεκατετράχρονου παιδιού. Σωστά είχε τέτοιες φιλοδοξίες, να γίνει δημοσιογράφος και συγγραφέας• γράφει μέχρι και σκέψεις της για την πολιτική κατάσταση το 1943 και 1943.

Δυστυχώς, δεν θα το εκδόσει η ίδια. Θα το εκδόσει ο πατέρας της, ο μόνος επιζών στο Άουσβιτς από τους οκτώ εβραίους που ολλανδοί φίλοι τούς έκρυψαν στο πίσω μέρος της πρώην επιχείρησής του. Το "Ημερολόγιο" εκδόθηκε πρώτη φορά το 1947. Το βρήκε μια καθαρίστρια μετά την επιδρομή της Γκεσταπό και την σύλληψη των οχτώ, η οποία …

Review of 'Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I actually read this quite a while ago (when I was in high school), but I was very impressed by the view and observance of the war and the fate of the people whom Hitler deemed unnecessary. I would like to read her unabridged diary (unabridged by her father, who thought that she was an icon of cool as opposed to a human). It is time for me to both this book and to read more about of good portion of what Americans know of the Holocaust: Anne Frank.
