The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank

Found in the attic of her hiding place, The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank, tells the story of a young 13-year-old Jewish girl who, when the Nazis occupy Holland, is driven to Amsterdam to hide during World War 2. This harrowing tale invites the reader to live these 2 years with Anne through her daily experiences of loneliness, fear or discovery, difficult housemates, and the like. These are Anne's actual words, and since it was written as her diary instead of a story to entertain, the reader must be patient with the way the story unfolds. As a first hand account of a young teenager, readers of all ages will find this story to be fascinating, heartbreaking, and riveting all at once. Translated from German into English.
