Deep Into The Diary of Anne Frank

             As real as a book can get, The Diary of Anne Frank was found in the attic of the Frank family where sadly she spent her last moments alive. Anne Frank is a young Jewish girl, and during the 1940’s Germany invaded The Netherlands, France, and Belgium with a mission to make the Jewish culture extinct. The Germans blamed the Jews for the loss of World War I. Cause of this Anne suffers mentally and physically solely upon her belief of Judaism. Her story will send a message to the whole world, teaching the qualities of peace and unity, and how the power of one’s belief can abrupt a whole nation. She is sharing to us what she overcame, and the human courage that she withheld. I would consider the genre of the story to be an autobiography or even non-fiction. She writes each and every word but I realized that the editor of the story makes an extreme effort to fulfill a missing era in The Diary, which causes a slight confusion of what happens to Anne during World War II.

Since, we are only speaking about the book, it is appropriate to label the genre as an autobiography because Anne is speaking about her own life day by day. This story speaks in a first person point of view. What is felt, heard, and seen is all described through Anne Frank’s eyes. This fact alone attaches a reader in a way to make he or she almost believe that they are going through the same emotions that in this case Anne frank was going through. That's almost how I felt as well but, the skip in time almost made me feel transported into the future.

            I was very intrigued by the story. The authentic facts viewed through the eyes of a victim were very engaging. I did notice the missing period and the efforts from the editor to fill that era. Her First Diary ends in December of 1942, then it goes onto her second diary, which starts the next year in December 1943 and continues onto April 1944, therefore; we must assume that there is a lost section between December 1942 and December 1943. What happened to it, in fact what happened to her? All we know is her tough triumph and tribulations end on March 12, 1945. Where death may bring her more peace than her being alive.
