Compare and contrast the portrayal of war in Zlata’s Diary with The Diary of a Young Girl.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Filipovic’s diary entries are more brutal and harsh than Frank’s. While Frank writes from captivity, Filipovic writes with bombs exploding around her and killing her friends. While Frank comments on the politics and jokes about Hitler’s “command” of his soldiers in her entries, Filipovic is painfully unaware of what caused people to destroy the buildings and people of her town. Both of them despise war and are confident that war would end. Tragically, only Filipovic saw it end.
