The Diary of a Young Girl "I haven't written for a few days, because

"I haven't written for a few days, because I wanted first of all to think about my diary.

It's an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because i have never done so before, but because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I nor for that matter anyone else will be interested in the unbosoming of a thirteen year old schoolgirl.

Still, what does that matter?

I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart." Anne Frank.

The Diary of Anne Frank is the story of a 13 yearold Jewish girl and her family who are forced into hiding by the Nazis during World War II.

Anne Frank's world famous diary charts two years of her life from 1942 to 1944, when her family were hiding in Amsterdam life from German Nazis.

The diary begins just before the family retreated into their 'Secret Annexe.' Anne Frank recorded mostly her hopes, frustrations, clashes with her parents and observations of her companions.

Its first version, which appeared in 1947, was edited by Anne's father, Otto Frank.
