  The Diary of a Young Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank was published in Dutch in 1947 (and in English in 1952), using extracts from the diary she kept while in hiding during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
Anne Frank began keeping a diary on her thirteenth birthday, June 12, 1942, three weeks before she went into hiding with her mother, father and sister and four other people in the sealed-off upper rooms of the annexe of her father's office building in Amsterdam.
Simon Wiesenthal's encounter with deniers distributing pamphlets calling the diary a 'fraud' propelled him into investigating the arrest of the Frank family, with the dual purpose of bringing to justice the betrayer and thus proving the diary's historic legitimacy.

 Anne Frank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The diary was given to Anne Frank for her thirteenth birthday and chronicles the events of her life from June 12, 1942 until its final entry of August 1, 1944.
Over the years the popularity of the diary grew, and in many schools, particularly in the United States, it was included as part of the curriculum, introducing Anne Frank to new generations of readers.
In her introduction to the diary's first American edition, Eleanor Roosevelt described it as "one of the wisest and most moving commentaries on war and its impact on human beings that I have ever read".

 Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The diary's universal appeal stems from its riveting blend of the grubby particulars of life during wartime (scant, bad food; shabby, outgrown clothes that can't be replaced; constant fear of discovery) and candid discussion of emotions familiar to every adolescent (everyone criticizes me, no one sees my real nature, when will I be loved?).
Even though it was written decades ago, the diary is so fresh and vivid we feel like we knew Anne personally, and she is so optimistic, so full of life that when the diary abruptly comes to an end, it couldn't be more shocking to see the empty pages after her last entry.
Some say it was written by her father, but the optimistic tone of the diary is not that of a person who lost all his family in a death camp.

Anne writes of the things that any girl of her age would do but, apart from the privations of captivity, there is little to glean from the book about the war and the outside world - one would not expect a girl of her age to be able to write of such things.
With an engaging combination of lively humour, teenage high spirits, adolescent angst and heart-wrenching despair at the terror that dominated her nights and days in a rickety Amsterdam warehouse, Anne Frank's diary is a living testimony to the senseless slaughter that took place in the Nazi concentration camps.
Its great that this diary was allowed for publication as it provides many readers, old and young, with an insight into the life of a hiding Jew.

 From "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl"
It's an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I-nor for that matter anyone else-will be interested in the unbosomings of a thirteen-year-old school girl.
Yes, there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don't intend to show this cardboard-covered notebook, bearing the proud name of "diary," to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares.
The first thing I put in was this diary, then hair curlers, handkerchiefs, schoolbooks, a comb, old letters; I put in the craziest things with the idea that we were going into hiding.
