One of the most famous testimonies to life under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Adapted by her father, Otto H. Frank, and the German novelist Miriam Pressler, this true story remains rediscovered time and again by new generations. On July 12, 1944, Anne wrote: "It is difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams, and cherished hopes rise up within us, only to be crushed by bitter reality. It is a miracle that I have not given up all my ideals; they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because, despite everything, I still believe that people are inherently good." In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced to hide in the rear of an Amsterdam warehouse. At thirteen, Anne kept a diary about her time in the secret annex. She poignantly revealed how the eight people living under these extraordinary circumstances coped with hunger, the daily threat of discovery and death, and isolation from the outside world. This diary is a compelling account of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and grief, and serves as a lasting reminder of the cruelties of the past.
