I am reading The Diary of Anne Frank, It is the diary of a thirteen year old Jewish girl whose family had to go into hiding during the Holocaust. Her father (Otto Frank) published the diary and now people all over the world have the opportunity to see the life of a girl hiding from the Nazis. This was during the holocaust in Amsterdam where Anne and her family went into hiding in the upper levels of a warehouse. This book takes place during the second world war, and the Holocaust. It describes life in hiding over a two year span before (spoiler alert for those who haven't read the book yet) the gestapo found her family and were sent to a camp.
In the background of this book the holocaust is happening, news of someone else being taken away to a concentration camp, news of the Nazis invading another country these events were told to the Frank family connecting the story to World War two and the Holocaust. The Frank and Vann Dan ( other family hiding with them) looked at the situation they were in and hoped they would not get caught like the many Jews that did. Anne hoped the Nazis believed the letter her father sent claiming he was elsewhere worked. The Jews in the Country didn't want to go to concentration camps This book describes exactly what life in hiding was like as a teen during the Holocaust.

It is so crazy to be able to read first hand what it was like to be scared about being killed because of your religion. And to read about what they did on a day to day basis to survive, from the Nazis and of other causes.
