The Diary of a Young Girl

A new and accessibly presented edition of Anne Frank's powerful and important act of teenage life-writing conducted as her family hid from occupying Nazi forces in wartime Amsterdam. Introduction from Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.

Anne Frank (Author) Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929. She died in Bergen-Belsen, three months short of her sixteenth birthday. Elie Wiesel (Introducer) Elie Wiesel (1928 - 2016) was born in Sighet, Transylvania, which is now part of Romania. He was fifteen years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After the war, Elie Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the distinguished French writer, Francois Mauriac, he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his internationally acclaimed memoir, La Nuit or Night, which has since been translated into more than thirty languages.
