The book is about a young Jewish girl whose diary of her time hiding from the Nazis entranced the world.
Anne and her family were forced to leave home, when the situation in Germany had become intolerable, and they fled to Amsterdam when Hitler came to power. It was a happy time for Anne at the start; she loved her school and her home life on the Merwedeplein. But the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and Hitler’s invasion of Holland in 1940 forced Anne and her family to go into hiding in a Secret Annexe. Sadly they were betrayed and were sent to the concentration camps, were Annie died on an illness.
I thought that Anne Frank and her family were very brave and that her father was right to publish her diary, for she was a very good writer.
