Famous Diaries
By Lisa Monroe
Diaries are often kept very private about the life and activities of an individual. It is place where they keep their thoughts and write information about what is taking place around them. There are many diaries that have become well known to the public though. The information in them has been too valuable not to share with the world.
One of the most famous of them is the Diary of Anne Frank. It has also been released as a movie and as a play. This is the story of a young girl that has to go into hiding with her family during the reign of Hitler. Sadly, Anne Frank died in a concentration camp and so the last of what we know of her ends when her family is captured from their hiding place. Yet it gives us an in depth looks at this side of the story from a very personal perspective.
Jack the Ripper is one of the most well known serial killers out there. The police hunted him down for years as he continued to rape and kill women. In a diary belonging to James Maybrick, he tells the story of these events and that leads many to believe he was Jack the Ripper. The authenticity of these records are still questionable yet the killings stopped at the time of Maybrick’s death which many believe means he was indeed Jack the Ripper.
Determining if the material in these diaries are real or not is very important. It can be embarrassing for them to be published and then later found out to be not the real thing. There are many famous diaries from the war and even during times of slavery that are anonymous. There are no names on them yet the material found in them can be verified.
Even though we can read about many of these things in history books, reading the diary entries of someone is very different. It provides an in depth and very real look at what took place. These famous diaries have helped us to understand things from many perspectives and that is a significant contribution to our world. It allows people to view things with an open mind and to be compassionate. For more information about diaries go to http://tinyurl.com/lhg9b4
