Fear, isolation, seclusion, love and hope. The Diary of a Young Girl, tells the story of Anne Frank and her family and friends struggles in the period of time where the Nazis took over Holland and a few other countries. This book is actually a diary which was written by Anne. She wrote in her diary from 12th June 1942 to 1st of August 1944. In 1944 a member of the Dutch government, Gerrit Bolkestien, declared that after the war, he wished to gather all of the witnesses’ stories of their dreadful times since the war began to make them accessible for the general public to read. Unfortunately, Anne Frank died of a typhus epidemic that broke out in 1944-5. Although her father, Otto Frank, carried on her dream of being a writer, and thus we get …show more content…
The plot of The Diary of a Young Girl is about Anne’s life before and after hiding. He knew what was happening with the Germans and Hitler because of the radio. Soon after that the Nazis’ came and made restrictions for all the Jews. An example of this is on page 12 “I have to walk everywhere. Only now do I realize how pleasant a streetcar is, but we Jews are no longer allowed to make use of this luxury; our own two feet are good enough for us.” This tells us that they weren’t allowed to use the streetcars anymore and this makes us, the readers, grateful for what we have today.

One was Anne Frank who has been mentioned before in this essay and the other was Hana Brady. Hana was a girl who had been taken to a concentration camp in 1942 and died in 1944 in one of Auschwitz’s gruesome gas chambers. Both of them died at a young age, Hana was 14, and Anne was 15 years old. Anne always hoped for the best but sometimes she lost faith and hope, this was the same with Hana. Both of them had a lot of similarities but they also have quite a few differences. Hana didn’t try to hide from the Nazi soldiers like Anne did, but instead, she followed their orders. Hana was much more naïve than Anne was since she just followed what the Nazi soldiers told her to do. Hana’s story was discovered by Fumiko Ishioka’s curiosity. She first got into possession of Hana’s suitcase when she went to the Auschwitz Museum in March 2000. She was determined to find out what had happened to this young girl. After 4 months Fumiko realized that Hana had a brother, George Brady. Later on, she met him and understood the whole story of him and Hana. Another reason why these 2 books are different is that we know the full story of Hana Brady but we still don’t know the whole entire story of who accused Anne and her family of
