The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank | A Timeless Memoir of Courage, Hope, and Humanity

Discovered in the attic where she spent her final years, The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is one of the most powerful personal accounts of the Holocaust and a universally acclaimed classic of war literature.

In 1942, as Nazi terror spread across Holland, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank went into hiding with her Jewish family in a concealed “Secret Annexe” above an Amsterdam office building. For two years, she chronicled the fear, frustration, and fragile hope of life in hiding—until betrayal led to their arrest.

Anne’s diary is a remarkable self-portrait of a bright, perceptive, and spirited teenager. Her reflections on love, identity, injustice, and dreams shine through even in the darkest of times. Poignant, often humorous, and profoundly moving, this book continues to resonate with readers of all ages.

Recommended for ages 12 and above, this essential volume belongs on every bookshelf as a testament to the enduring power of hope and the human spirit.
