so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️let me say this is not a book. It‘s a diary and reads like one. That said what a harrowing experience for this poor girl to grow up in those conditions. I had no idea what a powerful young lady she was. She would have made an awesome feminist with her forward thinking. Tragic and important story.
so-soIt‘s written quite simply and it‘s short, so it is a fast read; I believe it is meant as YA. There were even some photographs of Hannah‘s (that she managed to hold on to through and after the war) that included Hannah, her family, and photos with Anne. There wasn‘t as much about Anne, specifically as I‘d hoped, but that‘s ok. What was there was interesting, as well as learning about Hannah and her family‘s experiences

I remember reading excerpts of this important work in high school, but this is the first time I‘ve ever read Anne Frank‘s diary in its entirety. I know that none of my own words could do it justice. It filled me with admiration and hope and sadness. I sat in silence for a few minutes after finishing. She wished to go on living even after her death, and my God, how she has. War is such a terrible waste. 🎧
pick4.75⭐️ Really enjoyed this adaptation. I had heard about the book through various sources that were talking about how the book had been banned in a number of jurisdictions in the past few months. Strongly recommend reading the author‘s note at the end of the book. #2023 #bookreview #adaptations #graphicnovels #bookstagram #nonfiction
I finally ordered this. I am super excited to add this to my Anne collection. I have several copies of her Diary and all of them are well loved. #books #graphicnovels
Had no idea when I posted this as an answer to a QOTD in the company water cooler channel last week that halfway across the world, stress and trauma were being experienced by Jewish civilians 80 years after these words were written in a diary.
I haven‘t the knowledge nor the understanding to pretend my opinion means anything today. But I‘m horrified for all the innocent people who are suffering during this terror.
How DO we improve this world?
Your way of dealing with anxiety and CPTSD is much healthier than my way of dealing with anxiety: eating a whole box of Kraft mac & cheese. 🤩 Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 3w
