The Diary of a Young Girl

Description

By Anne Frank

Anne Frank was thirteen when her family went into hiding in a concealed annexe above her father’s business in Amsterdam, and fifteen when they were betrayed and arrested. She kept a diary for the twenty-five months in between.

It records eight people confined together, the fear and the boredom and the arguments over food, and a girl becoming a writer in real time. She died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen; her father Otto was the only one of the eight to survive, and published it.
