The Diary of Anne Frank: The Revised Critical Edition | Anne Frank

pick

Thus is an interesting read of course because of its historical significance, but also because it is a true coming of age story of a girl in hiding with her family during WWII. It‘s a bit hard to read as it‘s the ramblings & misspellings & grammatical errors of a teen, but worth it all the same.

#Bookrelated

Today‘s section in our #TreeADay reading. My question to you is if you have read the tagged book, any factual history or historical fiction set during WWII how you cannot see the parallels from that time to this? What is keeping you from recognizing how our freedoms are being taken away piece by piece? It is happening again and you are not only cheering for it you are praising God for it. God help us all.

Ruthiella I‘m currently reading Maus by Art Spiegelman and also see the pattern. Particularly in the swiftness. Laws and institutions will only hold up if we collectively support them. 3mo

Jess861 The Dutch Orphan was a very interesting book to read at this time. Some spoke up, others didn't as freedoms were slowly taken away. The parallels are scary.

TheBookHippie I‘ve seen the replanted of this tree by the World Trade Center. I agree with your post… and am just making mine… 3mo

Soscha We‘re past the punch a Nazi in the face days. And days of not wanting to be friends with Russian oligarchs. 😒 (edited) 3mo

dabbe To add to your thoughts, you made me think of this allusion from my Book of Allusions:
•Bread and Circuses: This phrase was used by a writer during the time of the Roman Empire. He deplored the fact that the Imperial government was able to keep the populace content merely by distributing free food and providing entertainment spectacles, such as the fights in the Coliseum between people or between people and animals. ⬇️ 3mo

dabbe The writer declared that it was shameful that people could be so easily kept in line simply by receiving “bread and circuses“ from the government.

The term today refers to policies designed to PREVENT UNREST BY KEEPING PEOPLE HAPPY and thus DEFLECTING CONCERN about troubling issues.

How many dystopian novels show us that if you keep people quiet and happy (plugged in like F451), most will do NOTHING to save us all. #ranttime 3mo

kspenmoll Thank you all for #ranttime Visiting the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam was one of the most moving experiences of my life. 3mo

TheBookHippie @Jess861 I agree. 3mo

It was good but the ending wasn‘t super satisfying, it felt like a lot of loose ends, as well as Anne being quite whiny and ungrateful at times, it almost felt disrespectful to read at times.

Wow………🥺

I had the unique experience of reading this diary when I was the same age as Anne Frank when she wrote the first entry. I am also half German. The impact, to say the least, was profound. War, no matter where, no matter when, affects and victimizes children the most. When will we ever learn??? 💔

Librarybelle Thanks for sharing! 4mo
