Anne Frank: Diary of  A Young Girl is the compilation of diary entries of Anne Frank, whose family suffered during the Holocaust. Although the story took place long before I was born, I feel an obligation to look up to this girl for her hopes as well as dreamsand in particular, her will to live.

Anne Frank did not make it since she died two weeks before liberation by British but for me, her spirit stays.

  Anne Frank was among the few families that suffered during the height of Adolf Hitler. At the time when each Jew family were seized, they managed to hid in Otto Frank’s building. However, the hid in her father’s workplace for two years with another family. Imagine living in a tight space during a hard time with another family, it’s not really the brightest of days.

  The little girl did not know whether she will be able to make it through the tiring time and she wasn’t even sure that her writing might be of contribution to those who wanted to record what happened during Hitler’s time, she kept on with her effort. She created a pal and keep writing until their family were betrayed and being turned before being sent to a concentration camp.

  She was young yet she was observant, thoughtful and patient. Anne was not sure what was happening at the time but still, she was patient and tried not to burden the other adults. She kept on keeping her accounts in her diary where she created a few imaginary friends. Her will to live, her fight and her hope made me think how this little girl, knowing that her family can be betrayed, knowing full well that nothing brings more joy to the authorities to kill then but yet, she was determined to live. Despite the hardship, she was determined to go on.

  I was never a fighter and I always give up when I think or sense that ‘heck, I couldn’t win this so why bother?’. But after reading Anne Frank: Diary of A Young Girl, it seems important to keep pursuing the dream, keep working on it and try to find ways to keep it. Because dreams and hope keep one alive and let them focus on their main goal.
