I am a middle school teacher and each year for the past 4yrs I have taught the play The Dairy of Anne Frank. I love to front load (give them) as much background information about WWII, the holocaust, ect before they even start reading. I have used this exhibit for 4yrs and this will be my 5th. My students usually love this exhibit and really get siked about reading the play. Please keep your work up. This is how people learn. | Name: Brooke

I first read Anne's diary at age ten, and even today as an adult I am still in awe of her. I can't believe that she was able to withstand such oppression, and still keep all of her ideals. Even near the end, she still believed that everyone was 'good at heart,' during one of the most evil eras of the modern world. She faced everything with good will, dignity, and grace, and for that she will never be forgotten. | Name: Mikaela Chianese

To become a great future, we must fix the past. Anne Frank, a young, so very young, girl, is one of those amazing people who can look at something and find the goodness in it. She looked past everything and found the small moments of laughter and happiness. As her most of her dreams were destroyed, she did succeed in one.She became a legend, a famous figure. For her determination and harrowing tale, people will always remeber the girl in hiding. As I read the Diary of Anne Frank, I realized how hard it must have been for a girl, blooming in womanhood, to be stuck inside like a caged animal. But dear Anne made the best of it, reminding us that even in the worst of times, we can always find jy if we look into ourselves. The most painful thing is if she had held on only a little longer, she may have still been alive today. My heart is somehow always with her when I'm reading, always hoping that the knock at her door wouldn't come.
Sincerly,

I was touched when I listened to Anne Frank's story, and I imagined what it would be like to live through all of that danger every day. I think that the thing that I think about the most is having to live in the secret annex every night and somtimes listen to the horrifying sound of bombs every once in a while. Right now I am reading "Anne Frank,young diarist" and I have learned so much more than I knew! when I went to the Haulocaust museam in Washington, I was almost in tears thinking about it. I enjoy learning about people with interesting stories in thier lives. Not like the stories that teachers tell you about them, that just wastes our school time and I like that! Around 2005 when I was 7 years old, I just thought that she was just some girl that lived a long, long, long time ago. Now that I am 10, I know that there is so much more than that! she is a hero from the 1940's!
yours truly,

I feel for Anne, I really do... to think of what the Germans did to her and her family...
Myself, having a german native background/ancestry, I am TOTALLY ashamed of what happened to this family. There are always alot of what if's or if only's but in all reallity it is part of our/ my past. Yes she was a brave young girl and I do commend her and her family, it took alot of courage to hide out like that for two years. In this day and age if something were to happen like this again, I don't think alot of people would survive because people are to needy today. I am so proud that she took to writing of about her life in the Annex and that it did get published like she wanted it be, I do think she would be very proud. | Name: tony

After reading it in 1970 I daydreamed of rescuing her, rowing her over to England,,, what's a 14 year old boy to think? We would have a great conversation across the Channel, and her smile would keep me going. Ten years later I cried when I visited her house. | Name: *Melea*

Anne Frank was an amazingly brave girl. She was and still is, a great example to all of us. :) I'm in the process of reading the 'Diary of a Young Girl; Anne Frank', and it's amazing. I just can't believe all that she went through and how courageous she was...her essay 'Give!', is something the whole world needs to read. Why don't people listen? They just don't want to hear that they're wrong. They don't want to hear that there's only one way, so they call those people narrow-minded and conceited, because it makes them feel better...they just don't realize that in the end, they will be proved to be the fakes that they are. Anne Frank shows us that. She is a hero. |
