Diary of Anne Frank Is 'A Monument to The Human
Spirit'One of the most famous accounts of living
under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a
13-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by
her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist
Mirjam Pressler, this is a true story to be
rediscovered by each new generation.12th
July 1944'It's difficult in times like these
ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within
us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a
wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they
seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to
them because I still believe, in spite of
everything, that people are truly good at
heart.'In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors
of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family
were forced into hiding in the back of an
Amsterdam warehouse.Aged 13, Anne kept a diary of
her time in the secret annexe. She movingly
revealed how the eight people living under

these extraordinary conditions coped with hunger,
the daily threat of discovery and death and
isolation from the outside world.A thought-
provoking record of tension and struggle,
adolescence and confinement, anger and
heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a
testament to the atrocities of the past and a
promise they will never be forgotten.
