There’s really a point in our life that we are conquered by horrors of war, but at some point in our life there’s something that reminds us that optimism and human spirit can conquer that horrors of war.

Anne Frank, an ordinary Jewish girl born in Germany on June 12, 1929 wrote and kept the glimpse of what had happened during the World War II. She wrote everything when she received a diary for her 13th birthday and she called it Kitty. She made her first entry on June 14, 1942.

The diary teaches lessons in life. These are lessons that we can never regret when we are in the real world working and applying what we have learned in school. It teaches how to be courageous in facing the challenges of life and how we handle life that we can assure that we can hurdle those challenges.

It depicts the struggle of a family who faces challenges from the fate of invaders. It portrays how Anne and her family overcome the situation of fear amidst of hiding and being discovered. These are all Anne’s burns of the past and discover how this young girl makes the best of her fate in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.

It all started when the Nazis or the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, a group with strong racist principles invade her beloved country Holland. This was the hype when Nazis done various acts of violence, this was the point when the anti-Jewish laws in Germany was imposed, throwing Jews into prison without trial and as a result millions of Jews suffered the bad fate from the Nazis.

This is now the time that Otto Frank, Anne’s Father decided to move his family to Amsterdam. He chooses to occupy the annex of his office together with other family friend as well as Anne’s friends.

After two years of hiding, Nazis find the place and they were sent to the concentration camps where starvation and diseases plagued them day and night. Seven months later, Anne and her sister Margot died because of typhus. Anne was just 15 years old that time.
After two years, as Anne’s life gone, the war also ended. It was in 1945 and Otto Frank was the only survivor from the secret annex. He returned to Amsterdam with Anne’s diary in his hand and gives all her writings that were left in the hiding place and published it chronicling Anne’s life from June 12, 1942- August 1, 1944.

Her diary was published and printed in Dutch in 1947 and in English in the year 1951. This is one of the most read books in the world which sells almost 31 million copies and it was translated into roughly 67 languages.

Just like me who made writing as a passion and game, Anne also dreamed of becoming a writer for she believes that through his writings he can help others realize their perspectives in life where they can have a free fly.

This book is worth crying for, because it reflects the lives of millions of Jews who died because of the nightmare that the war had created. Anne was just one of the few Jews who became the victim of man’s interest and greed.

Anne passed away for 60 years, but her life and dreams still go on and will continue to journey for no matter how many years may come. Her dreams are becoming the dreams of humanity and even the heart of the harshest people living in the prison can be melted with her diary.
Before, I used to regret the opportunities of life because of the fear of risk of failure, but I ponder the things that I need to develop in myself to grow as a person- this is to face all challenges of life and the opportunity that it offers.

If you say “I am afraid,” God says “I have not given you the spirit of fear,” (2 Tim. 1:7).
