Praise for The Diary of a Young Girl A truly remarkable book.
By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited Young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.
In her Diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period.
Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death.
For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the Secret Annex of an old office building.
In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding.
Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank\'s remarkable Diary has since become a world classic--a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.
Now, in a new Edition enriched by many passages originally withheld by her father, readers meet an Anne more real, more human, and more vital than ever.
