Introduction
The Diary of a Young Girl BY Anne Frank is the first-person account of one young girl's experience of the Holocaust. It is both a touching personal story and a historical account that represents an important piece of history.

The Diary of a Young Girl, also known as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book of the writings from the Dutch-language diary kept by her while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. The astonishing diary of Anne Frank, which was found in the attic where she spent her final years, has become a classic, serving as a chilling reminder of the atrocities of war and a moving monument to the resilience of the human spirit.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank has captivated readers for years with its tragic and inspirational depiction of an ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances. A foreword by Night author Elie Wiesel is included in this Penguin Classics edition, which was edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler and translated by Susan Massotty.

Millions of young people throughout the world have read Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl since it was first published more than 60 years ago. In an Amsterdam warehouse, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank and her family took refuge in July 1942 as they fled the occupation. For the next two years, Anne writes in her diary about her growing-up thoughts, feelings, and longings, as well as the difficulties of living in such close quarters. When they were all betrayed in August 1944, her diary came to an abrupt end.

The Diary of a Young Girl, justly famous as one of the most moving and important documents to emerge from the war, is also a timeless, universal story of the inner lives of ordinary people. And it remains as urgent today as when it was first published nearly sixty years ago: perhaps even more so. Like Anne Frank herself, this book is unique and unforgettable.

Interesting Facts about the book

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the world’s most widely read books, and its impact on contemporary consciousness has been compared to that of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The Diary of a Young Girl begins on June 12, 1942, when Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday. This is the second volume of two that are based on her diaries and journals (the first volume was The Secret Annex) after she went into hiding in 1942. Even though the diary stops abruptly when she and her family are arrested on August 4–5, 1944, it has outsold every other book except the Bible.

This Definitive Book restores important material removed from the first edition, providing us with a better insight into Anne Frank's life. Anne is revealed to be more human, more sensitive, and more vital than ever via her interest in her developing sexuality, her disagreements with her mother, her affection for Peter, a kid whose family had hidden alongside hers, and her perceptive portrayals of her fellow captives.

This remarkable diary also expresses the story of a young girl’s experience during two years in a secret attic apartment in Amsterdam — an experience so terrible that as you read about it you realise that happily ever after will never again be possible for any of us. It makes you live through this child’s experiences until at last she was liberated by death from hell on earth. And yet those who read it — those who can put themselves back into this time and place and thus imagine themselves actually there — gain a new appreciation of what freedom means to all civilised people today."
