A young diarist’s life in hiding

Written during 1942–1944, Anne Frank’s diary records her experience with her family in hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, beginning shortly before their move into the Secret Annexe. Alongside the circumstances of confinement, the entries described here capture a teenager’s hopes and frustrations, tensions with her parents, and observations of the people sharing the hiding place. The book brings together the historical setting of the family’s concealment and Anne’s personal reflections, offering a first-person account structured around daily thoughts rather than a retrospective narrative. The source also notes that the first version, published in 1947, was edited by Anne’s father, Otto Frank.

  • Readers interested in first-person accounts of life under Nazi occupation and hiding in Amsterdam.
  • Those seeking a diary centered on a young person’s reflections, family relationships, and shared confinement.

Book overview

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 have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither 1 - 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 Anne Frank's world famous diary charts two years of her life from 1942 to 1944, when her family were hiding in Amsterdam 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 observation of her companions. Its first version, which appeared in 1947, was edited by Anne's father, Otto Frank. The book has received widespread critical and popular attention worldwide ever since.
