Author Notes
Anne Frank was born on 12th June 1929.
In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne, aged thirteen and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. She 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.
She died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, three months short of her sixteenth birthday.
