I had the unique experience of reading this diary when I was the same age as Anne Frank when she wrote the first entry. I am also half German. The impact, to say the least, was profound. War, no matter where, no matter when, affects and victimizes children the most. When will we ever learn??? 💔

I first read my dad‘s copy of this diary in the mid 90s when I was in my teens. Not long after, the uncensored version was published containing according to the introduction 25% more of her diary. Her dad removed a lot of the things Anne wrote about her mother. Anne started her dairy when she turned 13 and had just turned 15 when it ended, a lot of the stuff about her mum shows a teenage girl growing up; no one understands me, no one loves me.

AnneCecilie Some of this is probably due to her age, some is probably due to their hiding. Anne is very unfiltered in her writing and covers a lot of their life in hiding, their routines and the anxiety during the break-ins and sudden noises. I was a little surprised by their food I the beginning in 1942 even if it was considerably worse by 1944. I can‘t imagine living like this for over 2 yrs (edited) 4d
AnneCecilie I bought this book in the mid 90s and it has been standing on my shelves ever since. I‘m glad #foodandlit #Netherlands got me to reread/ read this again. 4d

HISTORICAL FICTION - HOLOCAUST - WORLD WAR II

ANNELIES is about Anne Frank and describes what the author thinks she would have been like had she lived.

Mr. Gillham did an outstanding job of researching as well as using a creative method of portraying Anne Frank‘s life as it may have been even though she did not survive the Holocaust.
