The Diary of A Young Girl (Book #4)

Hey again! I am about to dive into my next book, Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl. Since this is a diary, the author is Anne Frank herself. I know that she writes about her time hiding away from Hitler and the Nazi party during the Holocaust. As many of you know, the Holocaust was a period of time, between 1933 and 1945, in which Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party committed genocide on some six million Jews and some five million others. Anne Frank is Jewish and this diary illustrates her experiences attempting to survive day-to-day.

Personally, I have ancestors in the Holocaust, some of which survived and some of which did not, and I feel that I need to understand how they must have felt. I know this will be a very sad book, but I cannot hide from the truth of the event. 

I predict that ultimately Anne will not survive because of the brutality of Hitler and the Nazis, but that is to find out later today.

I will report back when I get further. Peace.
