The Diary

The diary chronicles her life from June 12, 1942 until her capture on August 1, 1944. Her diary was discovered and published as The Diary of a Young Girl in 1947. Frank's diary has been adapted for both film and the stage.

The diary was meant to just be a place for Anne to vent while in hiding during the Nazi Holocaust, but has become a public document of some of World War II's most wrenching and significant events from a personal perspective.

After the Frank family's discovery, arrest and deportation, the family who was hiding them gathered ther diary and other papers, planning to save them for Anne. When she died in a concentration camp, the papers were turned over to Anne's father, Otto Frank, who published them under the title The Diary of a Young Girl.
