In the book, she wrote about her growing sexual feelings as she and her family hid from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II.

“There are actually two lines of objections to the Anne Frank diary,” Caldwell-Stone said.

One of the criticisms was about Anne’s growing interest in a boy.
其中一项批评是关于安妮对一个男孩越来越感兴趣。
The other is that “it was inappropriate for someone 12 years old to learn about the Holocaust.
另一种说法是“让一个12岁的孩子去了解大屠杀是不合适的。”
It was too much of a downer.”
