    Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

    Written by Anne Frank

    Ages 13+ | 400 Pages

    Publisher: Bantam | ISBN-13: 9780553577129

    What to Expect: Autobiography, Holocaust, and World War II.

    Anne Frank was a young girl with a promising future ahead of her, having moved with her family from Germany to Amsterdam in 1933. She could not have foreseen the hardships that lay ahead for her and her loved ones when the Nazis invaded. They were forced to hide in a small attic with limited resources during World War II’s harsh and challenging times.

    Throughout this difficult period, Anne courageously and meticulously documented her family’s journey through her diary, a precious artifact that would later be discovered in an attic in Amsterdam. She captures her family’s struggles, their constant fear of discovery by the Nazis, and the bravery of their helpers. Despite the complex and harrowing circumstances, Anne’s diary is filled with hope and a desire for a peaceful future. Her words and thoughts remind us of the importance of embracing unity and compassion for one another in times of war and beyond.

    Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is a powerful and emotional read that urges us never to forget the horrors of war and the necessity of striving for peace and love. This renowned classic is a poignant testament to the resilience of the human spirit that should be cherished and experienced by all.
