Synopsis "The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition (Penguin Modern Classics) "

Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is an inspiring and tragic account of an ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances that has enthralled readers for generations. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler, translated by Susan Massotty, and includes an introduction by Elie Wiesel, author of Night.'June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.'In Amsterdam, in the summer of 1942, the Nazis forced teenager Anne Frank and her family into hiding. For over two years, they, another family and a German dentist lived in a 'secret annexe', fearing discovery. All that time, Anne kept a diary. Since its publication in 1947, Anne Frank's diary has been read by tens of millions of people. This Definitive Edition restores substantial material omitted from the original edition, giving us a deeper insight into Anne Frank's world. Her curiosity about her emerging sexuality, the conflicts with her mother, her passion for Peter, a boy whose family hid with hers, and her acute portraits of her fellow prisoners reveal Anne as more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever.'One of the greatest books of the twentieth century'Guardian'A modern classic'Julia Neuberger, The Times

Annelies Marie Frank, known in Spanish as Ana Frank (Frankfurt am Main, June 12, 1929-Bergen-Belsen, February or March 1945), was a German girl of Jewish descent, globally known thanks to The Diary of Anne Frank, the publication of her personal diary in which she recorded the nearly two and a half years she spent hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam with her family and four other people during World War II
Once they were discovered in their hiding place, Anne and her family were captured and taken to different German concentration camps. The only survivor of the eight hidden was Otto Frank, her father. Anne was sent to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz on September 2, 1944, and later to Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus around mid-February 1945, about two months before the camp was liberated. In 1947, just two years after the war ended, her father published the diary under the title The Secret Annex (in Dutch, Het Achterhuis)
