Read the text and say why Anne Frank’s diary is important.
On June 12, 1942, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl received a special gift for her birthday. The girl’s name was Anne Frank and the special gift was a diary. She was a simple teenage girl with big dreams. She believed that all people are good. She admired the beautiful things around her and she wanted people to be happy. She wrote about this in her diary. She wrote about her feelings. She also described the events of her tragic life.
When the Nazis invaded the Netherlands, Anne Frank together with her family had to hide in a secret annex. In her diary, she wrote everything that was happening to her and her family. This helped her pass her time. Sadly, the police discovered the hiding place and arrested everybody. Anne died in 1945 in the concentration camp. After the end of the Second World War, her father published her diary. People from all over the world loved Anne’s diary. The hiding place became a museum.
Anne’s diary is very important. It helps us understand that all are equal and that discrimination and racism are dangerous. It also shows how little people need to be happy. It costs us nothing to make others happy. Anne’s voice from her diary tells us to be generous: ‘No one has ever become poor by giving.’ We also learn that hard work makes people happy: ‘Laziness may appear attractive, but hard work gives satisfaction.’
Indeed, Anne Frank’s diary is very powerful. It teaches us to be good, generous, and hard working. These qualities make us truly happy.
