The Diary of Anne Frank


Anne Frank was eleven years old in 1940 when the armies of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi ruler of Germany,
invaded Holland, where she lived with her parents and her older sister. The Frank family was Jewish.
They were appalled by Hitler’s fanatic hatred of Jews and his plan to murder all the Jews in the countries
he could control.

For two years, Anne Frank and her family lived in daily terror of being rounded up and taken away.
Finally, the family, together with Anne’s friend Peter and three others, went into hiding. Eight people
occupied a tiny space hidden behind a bookshelf in Mr. Frank’s office. They depended on brave friends
who brought them food and news of the outside world. They hoped that Hitler would soon be defeated
and their stay would be temporary, but after two more long years they were still in hiding.

From 1942 to 1944 Anne Frank kept a diary in which she wrote about the things that happened every day
and their impact on her life. Although life in these cramped surroundings was very dreary, Anne’s diary is
always interesting. In it she revealed her deepest thoughts and feelings. She complains of the feelings of
isolation they all had, and she writes of their hopes of one day leading a normal life. No matter how
dejected she felt, she always made the effort to keep the diary up to date.

Being discovered by the Germans was Anne Frank’s greatest fear. Any unusual sound from outside –
slamming doors, heavy footsteps, and German voices – could be a sign of danger. The little group had the
use of a toilet, but they could not flush it during the day, because someone in the building might hear it
and suspect the people were hiding in the tiny space between the bookshelves.

World War II ended in 1945, when Hitler’s armies were routed in the East by the Russians and in the
West by the Americans and the British. Sadly, its end came too late for Anne Frank. The Germans had
found the family’s hiding place the year before. Everyone was sent to Hitler’s death camps, and it was in
one of them, in March 1945, two months before the end of the war in Europe, that Anne died. She was
sixteen years old.

We would know of her tragic story but for her diary. She left it behind when she was taken away, and her
father who managed to stay alive while in the Nazi death camp, discovered it when he returned home
after the war. The diary was still there, in the place where his daughter had hidden it.
