| THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK is a modern literary classic and an extraordinary social document that gives a unique account of life in hiding under Nazi terror in World War II from the perspective of a teenage Jewish girl. Anne Frank’s diary, written between 1942 and 1944 in hiding in Amsterdam has made Anne Frank one of the best-known figures of the 20th Century. She was four when she left her native Germany, thirteen when she went into hiding, and not yet sixteen when she died in a concentration camp, one of the six million Jewish victims of Hitler’s racial madness. Over the past fifty years Anne Frank has become a universal symbol of the oppressed in a world of violence and tyranny. Her name invokes humanity, tolerance and the will to live. Her has been interpreted as an eternal testament of courage and hope. |
