SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1942
We have forbidden Margo to cough at night, although she has a bad cold and make her swallow large doses of codeine. Iam looking forward to Tuesday when the van Daans arrive; it will be much more fun and not so quiet. It is the silence that frightens me so in the evenings and nights. I wish like anything that one of our protectors could sleep here at night. I can’t tell you how oppressive it is never to be able to go outdoors, also
I’m very afraid that we shall be discovered and be shot. That is not exactly a pleasant prospect. We have to whisper and tread lightly during the day, otherwise the people in the warehouse might hear us.

Annelies Marie Frank (German pronunciation: [ʔanəliːs maˈʁiː ˈʔanə ˈfʁaŋk]; Dutch pronunciation: [ʔɑnəˈlis maːˈri ˈʔɑnə ˈfrɑŋk]; 12 June 1929 - February 1945) was a German-born diarist and writer. She is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, which documents her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, is one of the world's most widely known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.

Born in the city of Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Born a German national, Frank lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. The Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam in the early 1930s when the Nazis gained control over Germany. By May 1940, they were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father worked. In August 1944, the group was betrayed and transported to concentration camps. Anne and her sister, Margot, were eventually transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died (probably of typhus) in February or March 1945, just weeks before the camp was liberated in April.

Otto Frank, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that Anne's diary had been saved by one of the helpers, Miep Gies, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 60 languages. The diary, which was given to Anne on her thirteenth birthday, chronicles her life from 12 June 1942 until 1 August 1944.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not surprising to me that Anne wrote so well; this is not a fiction after all; it was her life.

An amazingly talented young writer. The struggles, emotions and fears are so well described by someone so young... but this fact, has been mentioned by many other reviewers.

What I'd like to add is, it's not surprising to me that Anne wrote so well; this is not a fiction after all; it was her life.

It was a daily struggle to endure and maintain sanity; it didn't happen. How could it? So many people? In such a relatively small, confined space, had no hope but to lose sight of reality to a greater or lesser degree (dependent on the strength of each individual).

Anne herself, was dealing (not only) with the horror of war on the outside of their hideout, but also with the confusion of being a teenager, plus, the difficulty of having to share close quarters with multiple personalities.
What surprises me, is that they managed to exist for as long as they did.

A horrid and frightening glimpse into the world of a handful of people, who tried, valiantly, to survive genocide...

Some in our time chose to remake what was already made by lying about the truth of a little girls thoughts that were found to the worlds benefit. Let us not give power to those want to lie about history but bring light to those that lived it and share the bravery that was used to survive even when there was little hope to do so. Anne Frank is a hero to us all

I am a history buff and bought this to learn more about the era. The book is more rambling and doesn't have alot of discussion of things going on outside the rooms the family are in. It is consistent with what a young girl would be writing, but not much historical meat to it.

This girl keeps such a positive outlook in such difficult circumstances. It is amazing to think what kind of person she would have grown up to be if she had lived in better times. Very good and touching book.

It's a great account of the hopes and fears of Jews during Hitler's reign of terror. It's also a great rollercoaster ride of a teenage girl's emotions.
