Diary vs memoir vs works of fiction limitations to fiction can give us a false impression

Anne Frank wordle in Handout packet 1

"The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" is inaccurate in it's portrayal of the war and the Holocaust. Has too many falsifications to use.

View historical fiction with a critical eye
