When it comes to compare and contrast "Zlata's Diary" and "The Diary of a Young Girl", the first aspect that should immediately strike our mind, is how these two stories ended.
On August 4th, 1944, Anne and her whole family was arrested by the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. They were taken to Westerbork camp, and stayed there about a month. Afterwards, they were all selected and taken to Auschwitz. Anne and her sister Margot went to Bergen Belsen camp. Once they were at that location, there was a typhus epidemic, and Anne Frank was one of the victims at the camp, and died in March 1945.
On the other hand, Zlata Filipovic, was also called "The Anne Frank" of Sarajevo. That is because, just like Anne, she also had a diary and wrote her thoughts and feelings about the Bosnian war.
Anne was hiding from the Nazis, while Zlata was hiding from the gunfire and the snipers that were destroying her Sarajevo. When the gunfire and the siege got much worse, together with her family, Zlata would hide in the nearby cellar.
Despite the war, Zlata was able to go to school, and visit her friends, as long as the gunfire was not too bad. On December 1993, Zlata and her family were saved and taken to Paris, France. She survived.
