The Diary of a Young Girl Definitive Edition

We know the historical figure. We know the historical story. But actually sitting down to finally read her diary... she was just a child. There's so much depth and character to this little girl. I knew the story and watched documentaries, but I had never read her diary before and I was honestly expecting to read from the perspective of some empowering and strong teenager, staying optimistic through the worlds darkest times. But wow, she was just a regular girl. Movie posters, family squabbles, romantic curiosities. I think that makes the tragedy so much darker, seeing this 13-15 year old and getting to know her at such a deeper intimate & emotional level. And just like that, losing her and all of her dreams.

I think it was amazing, but sometimes it was a little bit longwided. I felt her emotions.

This book was really amazing. I really liked it, because when I was reading it it felt like I was in the situation myself.

I thought it was a very interristing book, when you are reading the book, you are learning a lot more about the war en the Holocaust.
