young girl's insights into war, peace and the human spirit
on june 12, 1942, a german girl living in amsterdam, holland, received a diary as a gift for her 13th birthday. less than a month later, anne frank and her family — in a desperate attempt to escape persecution by the nazis — fled their home to hide in a sealed-off room above a warehouse.
for the next three years, anne's diary entries became a first-person account of the time she and her family spent in hiding. in august 1944, the family was betrayed to the germans and removed by the gestapo to dutch and german concentration camps. anne died in bergen-belsen concentration camp in march 1945. her diary was later discovered in the warehouse room by her father, the only member of her family to survive, and he published it in 1947. translated into english in 1953 and subsequently into more than 30 other languages, anne frank: the diary of a young girl (garden city, ny: b.m. mooyaart-doubleday, 1952) eventually was made into a play and a film.
widely respected for its poignant insights, anne's diary was called by eleanor roosevelt "one of the wisest and most moving commentaries on war and its impact on human beings that i have ever read." at the same time, as roosevelt points out, this work is revered for its belief in the ultimate nobility of the human spirit.
