The Diary
The diary is the one thing Anne left behind. Otto Frank gave his daughter, Anne, the diary as a present. She loved the diary and wrote in it everyday she was in the annex. Through her diary, whom she referred to as Kitty, we can learn the story of Anne Frank. She had bad days, good days, and just plain boring days. She couldn't go outside, had to share a room with a cranky dentist (Fritz Pfeffer), always argued, (especially with the Van Pels and Mr. Pfeffer), and only had one perfect companion, her father, whom she called Pim. Her diary expressed all this and more, and provided a window into the world of a Jew in hiding. It is one of the world's greatest books, and Anne Frank will continue to be a great inspiration for everyone.
