The Diary of a Young Girl

“The Diary of a Young Girl” is a book that is a compilation of diary entries written by Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who lived in hiding with her family and friends during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Anne began writing in her diary on her 13th birthday, just a few weeks before her family went into hiding. The diary offers a personal and intimate account of Anne’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences during her time in hiding. She writes about the challenges of living in a small, cramped space with others, the stress of constantly being in hiding, and her desire for a normal life.
