ANNE FRANK, THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL

Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt-am-Main on 12


June 1929. In 1933 the Franks fled from Germany to

escape persecution by the Nazis and her father found a

position as a manager in a company in Amsterdam. Anne

was given a diary for her thirteenth birthday and began

writing in it the next day. She had a passion for writing

and managed to keep up her diary throughout the time

her family was in hiding; her last entry was written just

before the hiding place was discovered and the family was

sent off to concentration camps. After the war, her diary

was published and became an immediate success. It has

remained in print ever since, and the story of Anne’s life

has been made into a Hollywood film. Most readers of

the diary come away feeling that they have really grown

to know the lonely girl who refused to be silenced by

circumstances.
