Anne Frank (1929-45) was a  young Jewish girl who perished in the Holocaust. During the Second World War her family were forced to hide from the Gestapo, and in the cramped conditions, she kept a diary of her experiences and thoughts.

After the war, her father Otto Frank discovered her diary and, struck by her maturity and depth of feeling,  published it – originally under the title ‘Diary of A Young Girl‘ – later as “Diary of Anne Frank”.

Anne Frank’s diary has become one of the most famous records of the Holocaust and has helped to give a human story behind the statistics of the Holocaust.

“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 believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

– Anne Frank 21 July 1944
