Anne Frank is a normal, free little Jewish girl, until Hitler comes and invades Amsterdam, where she lives. He tries to send all Jewish girls and boys at the age of sixteen (I think it’s sixteen) to concentration camps to work and be killed. Anne’s older sister, Margot, has had a call-up (a message saying ‘GO TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP NOW’) and Anne and Margot, their parents and friends, go into hiding at a secret annexe at the back of Anne’s dad’s office. When the German police find them and take them away to concentration camp, shaving them and making it obvious they were criminals, what will happen to Anne and the rest?
This book was a ‘Young Readers’ book, and put Anne’s diary into summary, but it was all rather well written. I cared a lot for little Anne and the others, and when I asked for Anne’s actual diary, my mummy said that it was too sad.
When I visited Amsterdam, I saw Anne’s house, and next time I go there I’d love to go in it. When I learn about the Second World War, I will read her real diary.
