Answer 2

A memoir, by definition, is "a historical account or biography written from personal knowledge or special sources." Alternatively, "an autobiography, or memoir, is considered a principally nonfiction work, a logging of actual events, which may deviate from objectivity according to a writer's memory of things." Anne Frank's diary is one of the most powerful memoirs of the Holocaust.
