Brief summary:
The diary of Anne Frank is an insightful journal of the gifted Jewish teenager who died at Bergen-Belsen, Germany, in 1945. She received her blank diary on her 13th birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Her detailed, personal entries chronicle 25 months of claustrophobic intimacy with her parents, a sister and a second family. Her intimate feelings like feeling criticized and unloved hit home with all of us especially during our teenage years.
