        <description><![CDATA[In terms of content, I might also suggest some titles which could be meaningful.  Zlata's Diary is a book about a girl writing during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia.  Freedom Writers is another example of a similar style.  In both books, the speakers or writers articulate what it is like to struggle in the face of social obstacles that seek to eliminate voice.  In both books, the authentication of voice is of critical importance. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Can you be more specific when you ask if there are other books similar to, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl? Do you want to know of more biographical or autobiographical works about young adults or would you like to know of more works written about the historical period of the Jewish Holocaust (1933-1945)?
Some works I can suggest about the Jewish Holocaust period are: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, Night by Elie Wiesel, The...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne Frank, whose family's secret location was betrayed to the Nazis, was sent to Bergen-Belsen where she actually died of typhus. Her sister and mother died but her father, Otto Frank, survived. After the war was over, Anne's diary was published. It has been translated into 67 languages and is read all over the world.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Like so much that is presented in Anne Frank's diary, I think choice and predicament was thrust upon her and she had little control, if any, over the development of events in her name.  Her father, Otto Frank, had bought her the diary and given it to her during the time the family hid in the Annexe of his office.  She wrote in it, documenting her time in hiding.  When the Nazis raided the Annexe, the pages of the diary were strewn on the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is a famous quote from Edmund Burke, an Irish philosopher and politician, which sums up an essential idea about who should be blamed for any evil in the world, including war. Here is the quotation:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

This is a quote that is particularly applicable to the situation in which Anne found herself.  It is not necessarily true that all of the people of Germany were...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I gained some insight into Mrs. Frank from Miep Gies in the documentary produced by Kenneth Branagh. I agree with the insights into the relationship that have been provided so far. In addition, Miep's words made it clear to me that Mrs. Frqnk suffered froma type of clinical anxiety that obviously would have been heightened to extremes due to the circumstances. Miep talked about crying episodes that were hidden from the children.

        <description><![CDATA[I think that you will have to make a critical choice here.  A case can be made that each entry moves one's heart because we are hearing a voice, an emerging, insightful voice, which was silenced through human cruelty.  Each page, each word, each syllable was representative of a mind who perceived things uniquely and powerfully.  We can only surmise as to what great things she could have done, if she had only been given the chance.  For so...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Nazi Occupation of Holland was the period in which Anne composes her diary.  When it became apparent that the Dutch were going to have to endure the same challenges as other nations occupied with Nazi forces, Mr. Frank makes plans to hide he and his family.  The primary focus of these challenges were to identify Jewish individuals as targeted enemies of the Nazi state.  Over time, the policy became referred by many names, yet in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne Frank was not right in thinking that the Jews were to blame for the war. She was a victim of Hitler's insanity. The notion that a pure race of "supermen" would be bred from pure "Ayrian" people of Germanic race is what led to the rounding up of Jewish people and others to be either killed outright or to be worked to death in slave labor camps.
Anne's thinking is something that sometimes happens to victims in that they come to believe that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[People are indeed responsible for starting wars. However, I do not believe that this extends to humankind in general, but rather to evil people who act on their desires to dominate others. Hitler was a classic example of a megalomaniac who wanted to exterminate entire groups of people. It is impossible to argue that anyone outside of the Third Reich was responsible for starting the Nazi military campaign. The entry of the various Allied...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nathaniel Hawthorne spoke of "the dark corners of the human heart." John Knowles' character, Gene Forrester, said that wars were caused not by generations but by "something ignorant in the human heart." And Lord of the Flies examines the nature of human evil. There is something in human nature that compels people to make war. "War and rumors of war" will always be with us, so long as human nature does not change.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I believe Anne is right, which is ironic considering her overall optimistic perspective of human nature. One point to make, though, is that in her analysis Anne might have been guilty of a faulty argument that my students often make.  They usually state that they believe mankind is basically good and that society corrupts humans.  When I ask them who makes up society and how it gets corrupted, they realize the error of their claim.  I...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Indeed, the previous posts do a fine job of explaining the complexity within the causation of war.  Indeed, both individual actions and institutional dynamics work in tandem in war.  I think that Anne's statements are spoken from a time in history when Anne and others in her predicament experienced how individuals, specific individuals, acted in wartime.  For Anne, the Nazis were represented not by ideas or the National Socialism...]]></description>
