Being Frank with Anne review by ETiel0511

ETiel0511

Anne Frank led a normal life before the Holocaust. She enjoyed parties and friends and boyfriends... pretty much the life of a teenager. Her perfect life was turned upside down when her family and a few others were constricted to the Secret Annexe during the Holocaust. The one thing that Anne found joy and hope in was her diary, "Kitty." Being Frank with Anne is a poetic form of Anne's diary. It shows her emotions, her thoughts, and her heart. This presentation of the diary will bring the world more understanding of Anne's world during the Holocaust.
