The Diary of a Young Girl

Anne Frank was given a diary for her 13th birthday as the threat of WWII loomed over her head. She had no idea that she would spend the next two years in hiding with her parents and sister, documenting every daring, terrifying, and beautiful moment they had. It was first written in Dutch and afterward translated into English to great acclaim.

“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart”, she writes.

Later, Anne and her family were caught and sent to a concentration camp and she sadly died of typhus. But her insights and her words in The Diary of a Young Girl continued to touch hearts long after her last breath.
