Awesome! Book Club e12 – The Diary of a Young Girl pt3

Part three of our discussion of The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank’s diary persists to this day as one of the most enduring books of the twentieth century. Written while she and her family hid from the Nazis. Her writing comes alive off the page and beckons friendship with every word. Her life was tragically short, but full of more fire, wit, and charm than any person twice her age. Her name encapsulates the greater horror of the holocaust to all, but after meeting Anne through this book it is sure to evoke a sense of loss for a dear friend.

Danny will be back next time!
