YOUR SUMMARY....______^_^↪⤵⤵
■=》The dairy of a young girl, written between 1942 and 1944, is probably the most famous personal diary ever published and one of the most important literary works of the Second World War. It was written by a teenage Jewish girl whose family was forced into hiding in Amsterdam during the German occupation. It is a work which is given extra pathos by the fact that we know something which the author did not know – that her family’s hiding place would be discovered and that she would end up being captured and ultimately killed in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The diary paints a touching and honest picture of an ordinary girl growing up in extraordinary circumstances. The everyday concerns of an adolescent girl – family relationships, boyfriends, hopes and dreams for the future – are contrasted with the horrific details of a secret life in hiding under constant c Pearson Education Limited 2008 fear of discovery. The book has become an important landmark in Jewish literature and history, as well as a powerful weapon against bigotry and racism.
=》The group lives in fear of noises which could be Germans coming for them. They hear about their friends being sent to concentration camps, where people are killed with gas. Friends bring them bread and they store black market food in the attic. A Jewish dentist, Mr Dussel, joins them and they give him the sometimes playful but serious rules of living in the Annexe. He shares Anne’s room and tells them how the Army is now actively looking for Jews
=》Anne re-reads pages from her diary and reflects on the lack of love in her relationship with her mother. The quarrels continue and everyone tries to predict what will happen if the British invade Holland. Anne begins to visit Peter, who is living in the attic, regularly although her mother does not like it. The police take away the man who sells them black-market food and they are forced to eat bad food.
=》She talks honestly about the changes in her body, her feelings about boys and the petty jealousies and rivalries between herself and her companions in the Secret Annexe. The book is a gripping account of a young girl’s innermost feelings as she starts to become a woman.
