As an ordinary Jewish girl who was one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, Anne Frank was an incredibly memorable girl due to the publication of her diary. Anne Frank was a liberal Jew; as for she did not follow all the traditions of Judaism. On the fourteenth of August 1944, a group of German uniformed police arrested the Frank family and was sent into The House of Detention, transitioned into the Westerbork Transit Camp and then to the Auschwitz concentration camp. In July 1945, after the Red Cross confirmed the death of the Frank sisters, Otto Frank passed Anne’s diary to historians who made continuous attempts to publish it. The official publication of the diary in 1947 was named Het Achterhuis, and was later on translated into English in 1952, entitled as Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
As humans, we have things to keep from the world surrounded by us. Maybe all we need to do is confide everything to someone every now and then. But what if you are not able to confide in anyone? As for Anne Frank, she took the path of finding great source of comfort and support by the presence of her diary. Universally, Anne Frank’s fame was based upon the quality of her hand-written diary.
Throughout the autobiography, it is noticed how Anne Frank expresses unintentional thoughts within the many passages of her diary. This was one of the reasons why her diary was so illustrious. In the autobiography, Anne Frank mentions, “Writing in a diary is a really strange experience, because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old school girl.” (8) This was an interesting passage to linger upon because of the brief structure of her word choice.

...be wearing for school or how bad I looked in the morning. Education has been a big part of my existence ever since entering middle school but over time, I’ve lost the will to put effort into keeping that same importance because of the irrelevant things that occupy my mind from the important things that I am supposed to be dealing with.
Anne Frank had the same problem when she gained a liking towards a boy named Peter who lived in the building, but later on throughout her entries, she began to push the thought of Peter away and replaced it with the things that really mattered, like how unbelievably close she was to her death. I’ve been inspired by Anne Frank’s style in writing and I’m willing to discover more books that hold the same sense in mesmerizing literature.
