Search - Anne Frank and Me

Anne Frank and Me does a good job of comparing the daily terror of living through Nazi rule and the Holocaust with the relatively short-lived terror of school shootings. The chaos, confusion and uncertainty are similar and a fitting context for contemporary students. While the falling-back-in-time situation is not new to literature or YA, it was well done. There must have been many persons with whom Anne Frank came into contact, from whom we have not heard, and all of their stories would shed light on the much beloved young diarist. Bennett and Gottesfeld remain true to history, as far as I can glean, and add another perspective to the time in history we must never forget.

Great!

This book is about a girl who goes back in time to experience life as Anne Frank would have it. Her view on life drastically changes from this experience. I found this to be a very interesting and thought provoking book.
