Anne+Frank+eBook

// Anne Frank was a young girl whose life comes alive when reading her story, __The Diary of Anne Frank__. People all over the world are able to see what life as a persecuted Jew was like during World War II; thus gaining an appreciation for the sacrifices people made in the struggle to stay alive. Anne Frank did not become famous until after her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and after the liberation of all concentration camps. Otto Frank, the only surviving member of the people hiding in the Secret Annex, later had Anne's diary published. // //It is imperative that before anyone begins to read the diary they gain a sense of appreciation and understanding of how and why the Frank family went into hiding on July 6, 1942. Once the foundation of this knowledge has been laid, then a full cognizance of the diary can take place. //
