I just read my 4th book, “The Diary of Anne Frank”. What a beautiful and sad story.
I’m just starting to read books. The first was The Bible, the second “Perfume” by Patrick Süskind, and the third “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë.
I think no matter how many books I read in the future, this one will remain my favorite, especially because of the context. I often think about and am interested in World War II, all those lives destroyed, people massacred, and all that sadness…
Reading this incredible diary, full of emotion, knowing it’s a true story… I was sad throughout, it’s heartbreaking.
Knowing that Anne didn’t survive, that the Nazis managed to kill a child full of hope and cheerfulness… it breaks the heart.
Of course, she wasn’t the only one who died in that war, others continue to die like this in the world today, but being placed in “Kitty’s” shoes, knowing every thought and emotion of this young girl, that’s what makes it so sad…
I love humanity, and it really puts things into perspective, even when already aware of the world’s misery and cruelty.
Rest in peace, Anne.
Do you have any other book recommendations of this kind, true stories like this?
