Annelies Marie Frank was a German-born Jewish girl who kept a diary documenting her life in hiding amid Nazi persecution during the German occupation of the Netherlands. A celebrated diarist, Frank described everyday life from her family's hiding place in an Amsterdam attic. She gained fame posthumously and became one of the most-discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust with the 1947 publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch, lit. 'the back house'; English: The Secret Annex), which documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944. It is one of the world's best-known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.
Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1929. In 1934, when she was four-and-a-half, Frank and her family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party gained control over Germany. By May 1940, the family was trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. Frank lost her German citizenship in 1941 and became stateless. Despite spending most of her life in the Netherlands and being a de facto Dutch national, she never officially became a Dutch citizen. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Frank's father, Otto Frank, worked. The hiding place is notably referred to as the "secret annex". Until the family's arrest by the Gestapo on 4 August 1944, Frank kept and regularly wrote in a diary she had received as a birthday present in 1942.
Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. On 1 November 1944, Anne Frank and her sister, Margot, were transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died (presumably of typhus) a few months later. They were estimated by the Red Cross to have died in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as the official date. Later research has alternatively suggested that they may have died in February or early March.
Otto, the only Holocaust survivor in the Frank family, returned to Amsterdam after World War II to find that Anne's diary had been saved by his secretaries, Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl. Moved by his daughter's repeated wishes to be an author, Otto Frank published her diary in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 70 languages.

Czytając tę książkę czujesz się jakby Anne była bliską Ci osobą. Niezwykle poruszająca książka, bardzo polecam.

Ależ było czuć talent tej trzynastolatki. Jeśli w tym wieku, słyszysząc w radiu apel, by spisywać wojenne doświadczenia, dochodzisz do wniosku, że musisz osobiście zadbać o redakcję i korektę swoich pamiętników, by nadawały się do publikacji, to ja nie mam wątpliwości, że w obozie na tyfus zmarła nam pisarka Anne Frank.

Niech każda osoba mająca codzienny kontakt z dziećmi to przeczyta, bo ludzie zapominają jak skomplikowane są to istotki (jestem dzieckiem)
Nie mogę się pozbierać

Przed czytaniem Dziennika szalenie polecam przeczytać artykuł "W jaki sposób Anne Frank napisała na nowo dziennik Anne Frank?" PHILIPPE LEJEUNE.

Dziennik czytałam po raz pierwszy kilkanaście lat temu, jako dziewczynka. Okazało się, że pamiętałam z niego naprawdę niewiele i miał dla mnie zupełnie inny wydźwięk niż wtedy. Myślę, żę przeczytam go kiedyś raz jeszcze. Może za kolejne kilkanaście lat?

Pozostawiam bez oceny, ponieważ nie czuję się adekwatna, by oceniać czyjeś wspomnienia. Poruszająca lektura, zwłaszcza posłowie.
