Written between 1942 and 1944, Anne Frank's diary documents the life of a young Jewish girl and her family hiding from the Nazis, and has since become a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

It can seem impossible to imagine what the daily life of persecuted people was like during the Holocaust.

But for decades, the words of a young girl in hiding have helped us to see the human intricacies in one of the most terrible moments in world history.

Anne Frank was a German girl of Jewish descent whose diary, kept between the ages of 13 and 14, details her family's life in hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam before their discovery and arrest in 1944.

Published after Frank's death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the diary is a candid window into a young girl's hopes and dreams, a harrowing record of persecution and injustice, and a testament to the resilience and optimism possible in even the darkest times.
