    ive read book called "Anne Frank Remembered: The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family"
    It was really sentimental.

    I didn't read the book, but I saw the movie in my school. It is a sad story...

    Holy crap we have a necrobump. o: S m i l e s <3 I thought I taught you better. 8<

    Anyway...ON TOPIC I guess... <_<

    I studied the book, for both Literature class, as well as History class. It honestly was a sad story, and unfortunately it's a story about the hardcore truth about the people of this world. It's depressing. However, it does teach us many things, about history, as well as tolerance. The movie was also good, and of course sentimental...but I think it captured the story of her life and portrayed the life of the Jewish people and those effected by the war quite well.

    RS, you are really lucky to have meet met Anne Frank's friends in real life. That's really cool.

    Like S m i l e s <3 said, the camp was indeed freed a few days after Anne's death. WOII must have been really horrible years. My grandfather knows, he lost his father during the war...

    Wow... It's a very sad story, indeed. =(

    I'm reading the play in one of my classes... Every time I read it, it just touches my heart... What a sad story. =(

    It's like, why couldn't she hold out a little longer? She almost could have lived....but I spose, at that point in her life, there seemed like nothing worth living for...they made a movie on it, and after reading the book I watched it.....very sad, not even gonna think about it.

    I read it... I thought it was very sad and very moving.
    It made me realize what war was like for the people in hiding.
    very tragic, and touching in a way.

    I'm actually doing my term paper for my Children's Lit class on the Diary of Anne Frank. I've never read the diary but I did see the ABC mini drama about it years ago. I won't shy away from the knowledge that it is concerning a wide range of emotions and themes taht I hope to never have to encounter or that anyone should ever again.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    We watched the movie and read the book in class. Seems like scary times back then... And it makes you kind of sad that Anne really didn't make it in the end. Very sad story indeed... But it's still good, none the less...

    The sad thing is that if she had survived, we probably wouldn't know about her amazing story.

    Also, did you know that her dad was going to BURN it. He went back to the annex after te war and Meip Geis (the woman who brought them food) gave him a pile of papers and he asked what sh was going to do with them. He said to burn them and she pointed out the diary.

    I'm reading that in school right now. I want to cry at some parts of it because it's sad how they had to live... I just don't get why Hitler hated Jews when he was part Jewish, and if you had to be perfect with blonde hair and blue eyes when once again, Hitler didn't have blonde hair or blue eyes! I feel bad for Anne. Being a teenage girl and living the way she had to. I can't even image how bad it must've been.

    Sadly, I did not read the book yet, but we are getting up to WWII so I might be able to convince my history teacher to make us read it


    But they did bring the play to our school once, I cried, it was so sad

    i never watched or read it but i got the guidelines. Hitler was a jerk >.< and a GIANT hypocrite. She suffered and i think it may help prevent another world war =3
