Summary
THE DEFINITIVE EDITION • Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, the remarkable diary that has become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.

Updated for the 75th Anniversary of the Diary’s first publication with a new introduction by Nobel Prize–winner Nadia Murad

“The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust ... remains astonishing and excruciating.”—The New York Times Book Review

In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. 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. 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. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. 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.

What an experience/life for such a young girl. I am always astonished at how intelligent of a person she was and how horrible a period of time. I wonder how she would have impacted the world if the outcome was different. Unforgettable.

Excellent book and excellent narration. I felt that the narrator captured the emotions of a young adolescent girl so well. If Anne only knew what her impact on the world is. She was wise beyond her years and it is heartbreaking that her life was cut short in such a horrible way. She would have surely been a very successful writer had she been able to live a normal life.

I read this book before visiting her home place in Amsterdam. putting the two together really made me think of how privileged and blessed I am to live in a quiet part of the world at this time.

She remained optimistic throughout. What an ordeal! Excellent narration!

Eye-opening, challenging explication of unconscious racism that should be on everyone’s reading list during this time of renewed search for racial justice.
