I never had to read The Diary of Anne Frank as part of required reading in school. I had of course heard about it and knew what it was about but this was my first time consuming any kind of adaptation of the diary. I was surprised by her character and personality. Even without knowing much about her I had built up assumptions of what kind of person she was from the quotes that are often repeatedly shared and the circumstances of her death. But reading this adaptation has reminded me that she was a fully formed person. A teenager not a saint or just a victim of the holocaust. I wish Anne had been able to grow up and become the journalist she had dreamed to be, the loss of what she would have further created is almost as tragic as what happened to her.
