ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘A truly remarkable book.’
—The New York Times
With Anne Frank’s fateful escape to Amsterdam with her family and fellow Jews, began her journey of writing. Her diary brings to light trials and tribulations of a 13-year-old girl who saw the horrors of racism and Holocaust at a very tender age. She stood trapped between World War II and her own battles, the ones she fought with using her mind and with a pinch of humour.
The story of the Frankfurt family by far remains one of the most insightful accounts of World War II. The original version of the diary was published by Otto Frank, Anne’s father, in Dutch in 1947.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Anne Frank was born in the German city of Frankfurt am Main in 1929. She is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, which documents her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, is one of the world’s most widely known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.
Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was 13 when she went into the Secret Annex with her family and that is when she wrote this diary.
