The Diary of Anne Frank AKA The Diary of a Young Girl

The Diary of Anne Frank AKA The Diary of a Young Girl is, as the title indicates, a diary written by Anne Frank.

For two years during World War II, young, Jewish Anne lived in hiding, in a secret apartment in to Prinsensgracht, Amsterdam.

Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt in Germany in 1929. She began to write a diary on her thirteenth birthday and continued when her family, among with several others, went into hiding to survive Holocaust. In August 1944 they were found by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps.

Anne Frank died in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen in March 1945.

Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank, was the sole member of the family who survived the war. He made the arrangements for the posthumous publication of the diary in 1947. It has been translated into more than 65 languages, and was originally published in Dutch as Het Achterhuis.
