Glad this thread is still going. 
One of the msot famous books of the 20th century. Anne is a teenage girl, who unlike the tweens of today obssessed with Hannah Montana and Justin Biener, spends her time doing something worthwhile: writing. Granted, she starts being serious about it when she goes in hiding from the Nazis, but it's still more than what most people her age would do.
Reading someone's diary may seem like a breach of intimacy, but anne actually wanted her diary to be read. After the War she was hoping to publish her journal, become a journalist, and eventually a writer. In August 1944 she, along with the people hiding alongside her, were captured by the Gestapo and taken to concentration camps. Anne dies shortly before the camp she and her sister were held was liberated by the allies. If her diary is anything to go by she would've been an amazing writer, but alas, we live in a world where people are persecuted for who they are and where life is easily wasted. At least Anne's dream (that of being a famous writer) was fulfilled posthumously.
