My school board removed this book for being "inappropriate" so I bought the book myself and read it. I asked others i went to school with about the book and they sadly had no idea this book exists. People need to talk about this in schools more instead of removing it. History repeats itself when people are not taught about it.

@vehx9316 Lol, what bigoted views do you think you're referring to?! It got removed because they thought the subject matter was too dark for young kids, which I think is incorrect.
We read a play version in my high school. We’d have people in the class read for the characters. I can’t remember which one I’d read for but I remember we tried to keep the same people for each character. I began to associate my classmate’s voices and my own with those characters. Definitely one of the better reads from high school. It’s sad schools are taking this away. History isn’t pretty. Humans have done horrible things to each other. We must remember
I actually find concerning the practice of "hiding" the ugly parts of history. That can create the false sensation into the new generations that atrocities can't happen. And that false sensation will inevitably produce atrocities sooner or later.
I'm reading Frank's diary at the moment. Because of its nature, you can either start at the beginning and work forwards like I'm doing, or dip in anywhere. I'm finding that reading a couple of entries in the morning is a really good way to start the day, plus a few more before going to sleep. How a 13yo manages to write with such maturity is astonishing
A useful thing to keep in mind: Anne Frank and MLK Jr. were born in the same year. If not for the actions of evil men, we might still have had them both with us today.
Bruh the fact that you mentioned that schools are pulling this book out of the curriculum is crime. Its still one of the most important books to read even now about 70-80 years later.
“Oh, but it’s too heavy for the children..” /s Parents who think this way aren’t prepared to have tough conversations with their kids anyways. So why not let a book, teachers and classmates do it for them and save them the embarrassment of not being prepared to educate their kids about some topics? It’s not an easy topic for kids, THATS exactly why they shouldn’t ban books about it.
Heck, I remember learning about the camps in 4-5th grade! I turned out fine along with my classmates and now researching WW 2 history is a hobby of mine. I feel that shielding kids from tough topics is insulting to children’s intelligence. It’s extremely insulting to survivors of WW 2 in general and their families. And it is insulting to Germany and its citizens who have done a great job at owning up to their past crimes/evils. Any parents who shields their kids from history because it’s scary, or fact based sex ed is a terrible parent.
I’m very glad you covered this. In my personal reading I came to the choice of currently reading this book or Schindler’s list… I chose Schindler’s list. I will certainly read this book when I can
It's said that even though Miep has Anne's diary in her possession, she never opens it and reads it. And when Otto Frank (Anne's father) returns and has possession of Anne's diary, he never opens it and reads it either, until the day he truly knows that Anne is confirmed dead. 😢

The restrictions since Denmark capitulated??? The Netherlands are not Denmark, so I am confused. Maybe they capitulated at the same time, but I would still appreciate a little correction/clarification. ❤
Uh, you mispronounced Israel's holocaust memorial day its pronounced Yom Hashoa. It's okay though because I can understand why people make mistakes. Edit: Thank you for correcting this it is important for us 5:49 and 6:07 are the most important parts for me
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Clearly there was a lot of research done into this video, and pronunciations across languages are confusing when done through writing, so I'm not really going to complain. But for the record: Yom -> the "om" is pronounced like the word "ohm" Hashoah -> Ha-Show-ah
@@spencerfabricant4778 Don't get me wrong they did something important that I appreciate they are talking about Anne Frank when in these times Anti-Semitism is happening. And actually speaking about Anne Franks's family was going through a hard time in holocaust.
Well, the video had me crying, but thankfully your attempt to pronounce "Yom HaShoah" provided some levity at the end, there. I appreciate the effort throughout, but keep in mind the vowels tend to be longer in pronunciation.
I actually thought they got the vowels pretty much right, though accenting the middle syllable in the latter word (it's supposed to be accented on the last syllable) may have made it sound wrong. The זל at the end, on the other hand, had a pretty misformed ז. (This is leaving aside that there's a more specific acronym used when speaking of victims of Anti-Semitism; the general ז"ל is still suitable as well.)

Diary
You and your team are menches. Thank you for putting this out
Rest in freedom🕯️
Amsterdam is not in denmark
Yea it is from Poland!
The restrictions since Denmark capitulated???
The Netherlands are not Denmark, so I am confused.
Maybe they capitulated at the same time, but I would still appreciate a little correction/clarification. ❤
PLease do videos on greek and macedonian (alexander the great) wars and history
Dang. Only three months longer, and she would have lived to see the end of the war in Europe
Reading young girls diary’s is my favorite personal pastime

Man that ad-read was so jarring after the subject of the video.
Thank you for making this one.
Remember the idea of extra astronomy:)
Thank you for covering this.
I see you updated your animation budget
Excellent ❤
i really love this! i really appricate the use of hebrew word at the end
Uh, you mispronounced Israel's holocaust memorial day its pronounced Yom Hashoa. It's okay though because I can understand why people make mistakes.
Edit: Thank you for correcting this it is important for us
5:49 and 6:07 are the most important parts for me
They butchered some Dutch names and they never said the country correctly, so what do you expect from these ignorants?
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Clearly there was a lot of research done into this video, and pronunciations across languages are confusing when done through writing, so I'm not really going to complain.
But for the record:
Yom -> the "om" is pronounced like the word "ohm"
Hashoah -> Ha-Show-ah
They also seem to think the events of the episode took place in Denmark, not the Netherlands, for some unfathomable reason.
@@spencerfabricant4778 Don't get me wrong they did something important that I appreciate they are talking about Anne Frank when in these times Anti-Semitism is happening. And actually speaking about Anne Franks's family was going through a hard time in holocaust.
You should do a video on the felidae books
Well, the video had me crying, but thankfully your attempt to pronounce "Yom HaShoah" provided some levity at the end, there. I appreciate the effort throughout, but keep in mind the vowels tend to be longer in pronunciation.
I actually thought they got the vowels pretty much right, though accenting the middle syllable in the latter word (it's supposed to be accented on the last syllable) may have made it sound wrong.
The זל at the end, on the other hand, had a pretty misformed ז. (This is leaving aside that there's a more specific acronym used when speaking of victims of Anti-Semitism; the general ז"ל is still suitable as well.)
i read this book and still touches my heart
Ummm, Amsterdam is in the Netherlands, not Denmark. She wrote in Dutch.
