Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

Summary: A diary kept by a German-Jewish girl named Anne Frank while she was in hiding from the Gestapo during World War II

Personal feelings about the book: I remember having to read this book in middle and high school. It was one of the most tragic true stories that I'd ever read! Nobody deserves to be arrested and killed in concentration camps just for being a certain race or religion. Despite not being able to go outdoors without risking being arrested and/or killed, Anne showed a very courageous spirit amid inconveniences such as hunger, too little privacy, and boredom. Sadly, her life was cut short all due to anti-semitism occurring during that time period. :'(
