Review #2

The more real Anne

While any edition of Anne Frank's diary is worth reading, I prefer the definitive edition. Most of you know that it includes previously removed material about her strained, complicated relationship with her mom, her more saucy comments that convey her frustration with many of the adults in the secret annex, and her developing sexuality. All these things make her more well rounded than in the regular version. Her progression from a silly school girl to a more mature, introspective young woman is even more striking and heartbreaking. Heartbreaking because her life was cut short not too long after her last entry, the most deep one she'd written. Of course it includes the constantly misconstrued "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart" line, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes sassy, bratty, and sharp tongued, but always caring, kind, and reflective, it's a crime that her talents were never given a chance to shine in adulthood. Anne dreamed of being a writer and a journalist, but never knew her wish to "go on living even after [her] death" would come true in a literal sense. We must never forget this girl and the many other innocent victims who perished in the Holocaust. Never.




Review #3

Greatest bit of propaganda in the 20th century

An overwrought bit of propaganda that has been worth well over $300 billion in aid to Israel over the last several decades.
