Description: Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her ì life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world ì classic -- a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an ì eloquent testament to the human spirit.

In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish ì girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into ì hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were ì betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered ì in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the ì outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties ì of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of ì discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid ì impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns ì thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating ì commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling ì self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose ì promise was tragically cut short.
