The Diary of a Young Girl
Frank, Anne
The diary of Anne Frank is an inspiring self-portrait of a teenage girl struggling to live a normal life during the Nazi occupation in Amsterdam.
Anne Frank kept a diary from 12 June 1942 to 1 August 1944 when Holland was under the Nazi regime.
In July 1942 Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Anne was thirteen when the family went into the secret Annexe and, over the next two years she vividly describes in her diary the frustrations of living in such confined quarters, the constant threat of discovery, the hunger and fear. Her diary rapidly ends in August 1944, she and her family were finally discovered by the Nazis.
