Reading pages 1-99 in the book "The Diary Of A Young Girl"by Bree Martin

While reading the pages 1-99 in the book "Anne Frank-The Diary of a young girl" it tells us about a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank, who lives duning the Holocaust, which was a time when Adolph Hilter's reign to kill all Jews. This caused many Jews to go into hiding including Anne Franks family. But before this all happened Anne was given a diary. She thought of the diary as her best friend and named it "Kitty" and was to tell it everything by writing it down. She first began her diary entries on June 12th 1942, her birthday. She first tells us who she loves and hates, and the consequinces of being a Jew. As time goes by the consequinces she talks about being a Jew gets tested when her and her family go into hiding to stay away from the Nazis on July 16,1942. The Frank family and soon to stay other Jewish familiesstayed in a place called "The Secret Annex". This was located in a series of hidden rooms upstairs from Anne's fathers work office. The Frank family was soon joined by a dentist named Mr. Dussel, and another family called the Van Dann family. They all stayed in "The Secret Annex". As time passes we learn that all the people in "The Secret Annex" grew not very fond of eachother. An example of this is of what Anne wrote on Sunday, 27 September,1942, she writes on how Mrs.Van Dann was upset with her for not being brought up the proper way, and that if Anne were her child she wouldn't be so frightfully spoiled and she wouldn't put up with her. This caused a series of on-going quarrels between the Frank and Van Dann family. As the months passed "The Secret Annex" becomes no longer secret, as burglers and theives enter. All the families in " The Secret Annex" hoped that the burglers and theives wouldn't tell the authorities on them. As we read on I hope the best happens for all of the residents in "The Secret Annex", and that the authorities won't find out about them.
