The Diary of a Young Girl

The diary of a young Jewish girl in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of Holland has become one of the world's most widely read books, translated into more than sixty languages. After receiving a red-and-white plaid notebook on her thirteenth birthday and using it to chronicle such events as invitations to parties and Christmas gifts, Anne Frank wrote the following: “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support. ”
