Synopsis
Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has become a world classic--a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annexe" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short. Praise for The Diary of a Young Girl "A truly remarkable book." -- The New York Times "One of the most moving personal documents to come out of World War II." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "There may be no better way to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread The Diary of a Young Girl, a testament to an indestructible nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil." -- Chicago Tribune "The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating." -- The New York Times Book Review "How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and naïve self-absorption of adolescence." -- Newsday, Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has become a world classic--a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.

  • The diary of Anne Frank

    This book is stunning. It overwhelms me to think that is more that just a true story. In fact every word is an outpouring of a young mind experiencing life in the midst of the holocaust and in hiding. This book is haunting, as it should be, and impossible to forget.

  • A must read!!

    I’ve wanted to read this book for a very long time but never had the chance but now that I own it I’m already past half of the book. An amazing documentary of a history that should never be forgotten... This book has made me a huge fan of Anne Frank and I really recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about history or just likes reading or writing diaries :)

  • Anne Frank Diary

    The reveling diary of Anne Frank is extraordinary telling of jews who were in hiding during the holocoust. It is precised detailed sroty of there everyday life, and has more of an optemistic approch to life. as Anne once said "I believe the good in people" so do I. I highly recommand it !

  • Must read book.

    I read this book when I was a teenager, but wanted to read it again now that I am much older. One's perspective is much different at age 74 than at age 15, and I think everyone who enjoys learning about history that has shaped our world today is a must. Would highly recommend rereading this book.
