Product Description

Product Description

The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the 20th century. Anne Frank kept a diary from 1942 to 1944. Initially she wrote it strictly for herself. Then, one day in 1944, a member of the Dutch government in exile announced in a radio broadcast from London that after the war he hoped to collect eyewitness accounts of the suffering of the Dutch people under the German occupation, which could be made available to the public. As an example, he specially mentioned letters and diaries. Anne Frank decided that when the war was over, she would publish a book based on her diary. Anne's diary ends abruptly when she and her family were betrayed. Since its publication in 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl has been read by tens of millions of people.


About the Author

Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929. She died in Bergen-Belsen, three months short of her sixteenth birthday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it!, 10 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diary of a Young Girl (Paperback)
I didn't read this book when I was a teenager, like many do in school. Now, reading it for the first time in middle age, I wish I had read this many years ago! Moving, provoking, funny and painfully sad, all at the same time. The senseless murder of Anne brings to life the true barbarity of fascism in a accessable way. She wanted to be a writer after the war - on the basis of this dairy we can easily guess she would have been one of the best...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sad, but rewarding., 27 Jul 2003
By R. Megicks "Robert Megicks" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Diary of a Young Girl (Paperback)
Reading this book is both rewarding and sad, so prepare yourself your both. I'm less than half way through this book and I feel nothing but sadness that such a life was taken at such a young time in life. I wish I could express my feeling about this book in the same way Anne could express herself in her diary, but I don't possess such a talent, even though I'm twenty years her senior. Like most people, I know what Anne's destiny is, and I find some aspects of this diary very difficult to read, knowing what I do.

I don't think I'm the only person alive that believes that the world is a poorer place without the talents of such gifted people like Anne, but we cant change the course of history, so lets hope we can learn the lesson of our past.

I'm not the type for travelling, but this diary has inspired me to visit Anne's 'secret Annex' to see first hand the place where she lived in isolation for so long. I've read many books in my time, but none have touched my heart as this one has.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly compelling, moving, book, 25 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Diary of a Young Girl: Definitive Edition (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
This Novel, published posthomously by Ann's father, brings a human side to a horror so great it is hard to envisage. In a modern time of freedom and plenty, it is hard for us to image going into hiding, unable to go out and in constant danger of discovery, let alone imagine the horrible food shortages. Anns diary is written as if to a friend, and as the reader you become that friend, sharing in her whole, eventful life. It takes you to that un-imaginable time and place, and you get the opportunity to understand what it was like. One of the most moving books I have ever read, and re-read.
