The Diary of a Young Girl

The famous diary of Anne Frank is not only a testament of time but also serious, genuine reflections of a teenage girl about life and death, about a defenseless person against the backdrop of monstrous, absolutely inhumane events of World War II. It is a very personal book. Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in February 1945, just two months before liberation. She was fifteen years old. Of the eight residents of the Secret Annex, only one person survived – Otto Frank, Anne's father. He dedicated his life to the memory of his daughter and her legacy. After its first publication in 1947, the Diary instantly became a worldwide bestseller and turned into an important human and historical document, being one of the indictments at the Nuremberg Trials. Anne Frank herself, uniting millions of tragic fates, became a symbol of the Holocaust. It is published in the classic translation by Rita Wright-Kovalova with detailed commentary.
