Synopsis "The Diary of a Young Girl "

The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. At last, in a new translation, this definitive edition contains entries about Anne's burgeoning sexuality and confrontations with her mother that were cut from previous editions. Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit, read by millions of people and translated into more than fifty-five languages. Doubleday, which published the first English translation of the diary in 1952, now offers a new translation that captures Anne's youthful spirit and restores the original material omitted by Anne's father, Otto -- approximately thirty percent of the diary. The elder Frank excised details about Anne's emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne's record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the "Secret Annex," and in these pages, she grows to be a young woman and proves to be an insightful observer of human nature as well. A timeless story discovered by each new generation, "The Diary of a Young Girl" stands without peer. For young readers and adults, it continues to bring to life this young woman, who for a time survived the worst horrors the modern world had seen -- and who remained triumphantly and heartbreakingly human throughout her ordeal.

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)
