Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 12, 1929. "As we are Jewish, we emigrated to Holland in 1933," Anne writes in her diary, which she received on her thirteenth birthday. In July 1942 she and her family were forced to take refuge with four others in a back apartment in Amsterdam. There they remained until August 4, 1944, when the Grüne Polizei made a raid on the "Secret Annexe" and all the occupants were arrested and sent to German and Dutch concentration camps. In March 1945, two months before the liberation of Holland, Anne died of typhoid in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. Only her father, Otto Frank, survived, and it was he who saw that Anne's diary was published in 1947.Written with rare insight, humor and intimacy, The Diary of a Young Girl is one of the classics of our time. It has inspired a play and has been a best seller in almost every known language. To hundreds of thousands of people, it represents the true horror and tragedy of the Nazi Occupation.
