Anne Frank's diary is among the most enduring documents of the 20th century. She documented her life in hiding from 12 June 1942 to 1 August 1944. Initially, she wrote it strictly for herself. Then, one day in 1944, Gerrit Bolkestein, a member of the Dutch government in exile, announced in a radio broadcast from London that after the war he hoped to collect eyewitness accounts of the suffering of the Dutch people under the German occupation, which could be made available to the public. As an example, he specifically mentioned letters and diaries. Anne Frank decided that when the war was over she would publish a book based on her diary.

This version of the diary is brilliant, it is as complete as the Anne Frank diary can get with all notes and parts Otto Frank had excluded from other editions, including Anne's discussions about her sexuality and her poor feelings toward her mother. this is a must read, making us all understand that all teenagers go through the same emotions and feelings no matter when they were born, circumstance or religion. This is a fantastic insight into some very brave sould though the german terror on the jewish. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!
A very moving read. Through the trials and tribulations of being a teenager, Anne also has to contend with a war and being in hiding. Although Anne's diary was written in the 1940's you'll be able to see the similarities with today as she faced growing up and all the emotions that go with it. Highly recommended.
