Anne Frank received a diary as a gift for her 13th birthday in 1942. She began writing in it two days later, just before going into hiding with her family and another family to escape Nazi persecution of Jews in Amsterdam. The eight people hid in concealed rooms behind a bookcase in Anne's father's office building for over two years before being betrayed in 1944. They were all arrested and deported to concentration camps, where Anne and her sister Margot died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen in March 1945, just weeks before it was liberated. Only Anne's father Otto survived. Anne's diary was published after the war and brought international attention to her experience of living in hiding during the Holocaust.

2. About the Author

4. Summary Anne Frank
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands,
received a diary as one of her presents on her 13th birthday. She
began to write in it on June 14, 1942, two days later, and twenty
two days before going into hiding with her father Otto, mother
Edith, older sister Margot, and another family, Hermann van
Pels, his wife Auguste, and their teenage son Peter. The group
went into hiding in the sealed-off upper rooms of the annex of her
father's office building in Amsterdam. The rooms were concealed
behind a hidden door. Mrs. van Pels' dentist, Fritz Pfeffer, joined
them four months later.

the assistance of a group of Otto Frank's trusted colleagues, they
remained hidden for two years and one month.

deportation to Nazi concentration camps. Of the group of eight, only
Otto Frank survived the war. Anne died in Bergen-Belsen from
typhus in early March, about two weeks before the prisoners were
liberated by British troops in April 1945

6. Review
Anne Frank’s “The Diary of a Young Girl” is a very inspirational
and heart touching journal that should be read by
everyone, especially students. Not only that will many relate to
it, but it’s valuable for both the mind and the heart. the story
reveals the history of World War II, unforgettable people, and
lessons that will stay in your heart forever. While reading Anne
Frank, I learned lots about what really happened during World
War II.
It was an unimaginable horror, millions of innocent people dying at
the hands of biased obsession.

7. Reading this book will take you back to 1944 Hitler’s rule where
you experience gun shots that passed by you, tank, bombs, whispers,
loneliness, deaths.
Each character clearly has its own personality, soft and hard,
anger and self control, hatred and love. These weren't made-up
characters, they once walked this earth.
No one can read The Diary of a Young girl and not take away a
very valuable lesson. Focusing on the problems of growing up,
dealing with tough times, and the never-ending power of hope, these
concepts really strengthened my morals and virtues.

8. Throughout the book, young people will be able to relate to Anne's
quarrels with her sister and parents, and everyone understands how
hard it is to face your biggest fears.
This book has great historical value and I believe that this diary is
Anne’s gift to human race and the world, the very world which
tore her life apart and couldn’t give her a fair chance at her own
life.
I would suggest everyone to read this book. It has got many positive
values, old culture and lots of lifestyle. It also tells us how people
lived during the Hitler’s age.
