The Diary of a Young GirlAnne Franks life ended tragically in the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen in March 1945. Three months later, she would have been sixteen. Two months later, Holland was liberated by the Allies. What we know of her brief life was found in her diary, abandoned on the floor of her family's hiding place in Amsterdam. For two years, they lived in fear of discovery by the Nazis. For two years, she poured into her diary her secrets, her first love, all the growing feelings of a talented, sensitive, acutely perceptive young girl - a girl who would never live to become a woman. But her diary lives on, the conscience of a generation, a vital, beautiful, urgent message to all of us - a message we cannot, must not forget. |
