2 What to expect

The diary Anne Frank kept while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Intimate, funny and observant, and all the more painful for what came after.

Good for readers who want: a true life story, World War II, and a classic.

3 About Anne Frank

1929–1945

Annelies Marie Frank (12 June 1929 – c. February or March 1945) was a German-born Jewish diarist and Holocaust victim. She gained worldwide notability posthumously for keeping a diary documenting her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands. In the diary, she regularly described her family's everyday life in their hiding place in a secret annex in Amsterdam from 1942 until their arrest in 1944.
