I am currently reading a book called the Diary of Anne Frank. It is an extremely depressing book. It's a true story about a young Jewish girl living in Germany during the time of Adolf Hitler. She has to go into hiding in a place called the secret annex just so that her family is not killed, and only because they are Jewish. The book is her diary that she kept during this struggle, and it's been translated into English so we can read it. It just makes me think how lucky we have it that we live in a time where we are free to be whatever religion we'd like. After the book it gives an epilogue that tells of the fate of Anne and her family. They all ended up being captured and sent to concentration camps, where they all died, except her father, who survived the camps. He then went on to publish Anne's diary, and since then it has become a widely known book. It is very interesting, but also very sad, to read about such a dismal time of Germany's history.
