The Diary of Anne Frank

Last summer I found myself in a local book store searching for a gift, when I noticed a border above a rack of books on my way to the check out register.  The banner that grabbed my attention read “Banned Books.”  I immediately marched over to the ostracized titles, some of which I recognized, but there was one of these books along this shelf that made my blood boil at the sight of it on the banned list–a beloved, historical document that has been translated into over 70 languages, making it one of the most widely-read in the world….The Diary of Anne Frank.
