Synopsis "The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition "

Seventy years since Anne began her diary . . . '12th 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 the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged thirteen when she went into the secret annexe, Anne kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of discovery and death, being cut off from the outside world, petty misunderstandings and the unbearable strain of living like prisoners. An intimate record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, this is the definitive edition of the diary of Anne Frank. 'A modern classic.' The Times 'Rings down the decades as the most moving testament to the persecution of innocence.' Daily Mail 'Astonishing and excruciating. Its gnaws at us still.' New York Times Book Review 'A monument to the human spirit.' Mail on Sunday

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)
