The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition PDF AZW3 EPUB MOBI TXT Download


Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has since become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.Praise for The Diary of a Young Girl“A truly remarkable book.”—The New York Times“One of the most moving personal documents to come out of World War II.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer“There may be no better way to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread The Diary of a Young Girl, a testament to an indestructible nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil.”—Chicago Tribune“The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating.”—The New York Times Book Review“How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and naïve self-absorption of adolescence.”—Newsday

All rights reserved. June 12, 1942I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.Comment added by Anne on September 28, 1942:So far you truly have been a great source of comfort to me, and so has Kitty, whom I now write to regularly. This way of keeping a diary is much nicer, and now I can hardly wait for those moments when I’m able to write inyou.Oh, I’m so glad I brought you along!Sunday, June 14, 1942I’ll begin from the moment I got you, the moment I saw you lying on the table among my other birthday presents. (I went along when you were bought, but that doesn’t count.)On Friday, June 12, I was awake at six o’clock, which isn’t surprising, since it was my birthday. But I’m not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until quarter to seven. When I couldn’t wait any longer, I went to the dining room, where Moortje (the cat) welcomed me by rubbing against my legs.A little after seven I went to Daddy and Mama and then to the living room to open my presents, and you were the first thing I saw, maybe one of my nicest presents. Then a bouquet of roses, some peonies and a potted plant. From Daddy and Mama I got a blue blouse, a game, a bottle of grape juice, which to my mind tastes a bit like wine (after all, wine is made from grapes), a puzzle, a jar of cold cream, 2.50 guilders and a gift certificate for two books. I got another book as well, Camera Obscura (but Margot already has it, so I exchanged mine for something else), a platter of homemade cookies (which I made myself, of course, since I’ve become quite an expert at baking cookies), lots of candy and a strawberry tart from Mother. And a letter from Grammy, right on time, but of course that was just a coincidence.Then Hanneli came to pick me up, and we went to school. During recess I passed out cookies to my teachers and my class, and then it was time to get back towork. I didn’t arrive home until five, since I went to gym with the rest of the class. (I’m not allowed to take part because my shoulders and hips tend to get dislocated.) As it was my birthday, I got to decide which game my classmateswould play, and I chose volleyball. Afterward they all danced around me in acircle and sang “Happy Birthday.” When I got home, Sanne Ledermann was already there. Ilse Wagner, Hanneli Goslar and Jacqueline van Maarsen came home with me after gym, since we’re in the same class. Hanneli and Sanne used to be my two best friends. People who saw us together used to say, “There goes Anne, Hanne and Sanne.” I only met Jacqueline van Maarsen when I started at the Jewish Lyceum, and now she’s my best friend. Ilse is Hanneli’s best friend, and Sanne goes to another school and has friends there.They gave me a beautiful book, Dutch Sagas and Legends, but they gave me Volume II by mistake, so I exchanged two other books for Volume I. Aunt Helene brought me a puzzle, Aunt Stephanie a darling brooch and Aunt Leny a terrific book: Daisy Goes to the Mountains.This morning I lay in the bathtub thinking how wonderful it would be if I had a dog like Rin Tin Tin. I’d call him Rin Tin Tin too, and I’d take him to school with me, where he could stay in the janitor’s room or by the bicycle racks when the weather was good.Monday, June 15, 1942I had my birthday party on Sunday afternoon. The Rin Tin Tin movie was a big hit with my classmates. I got two brooches, a bookmark and two books.I’ll start by saying a few things about my school and my class, beginning with the students.Betty Bloemendaal looks kind of poor, and I think she probably is. She lives on some obscure street in West Amsterdam, and none of us know where it is. She does very well at school, but that’s because she works so hard, not because she’s so smart. She’s pretty quiet.Jacqueline van Maarsen is supposedly my best friend, but I’ve never had a real friend. At first I thought Jacque would be one, but I was badly mistaken.D.Q.**Initials have been assigned at random to those persons who prefer to remain anonymous. is a very nervous girl who’s always forgetting things, so the teachers keep assigning her extra homework as punishment. She’s very kind, especially to G.Z.E.S. talks so much it isn’t funny. She’s always touching your hair or fiddling with your buttons when she asks you something. They say she can’t stand me, but I don’t care, since I don’t like her much either.Henny Mets is a nice girl with a cheerful disposition, except that she talks in a loud voice and is really childish when we’re playing outdoors. Unfortunately, Henny has a girlfriend named Beppy who’s a bad influence on her because she’s dirty and vulgar.J.R.–I could write a whole book about her. J. is a detestable, sneaky, stuck-up, two-faced gossip who thinks she’s so grown-up. She’s really got Jacque under her spell, and that’s a shame. J. is easily offended, bursts into tears at the slightest thing and, to top it all off, is a terrible show-off.Miss J. always has to be right. She’s very rich, and has a closet full of the most adorable dresses that are way too old for her. She thinks she’s gorgeous, but she’s not. J. and I can’t stand each other.Ilse Wagner is a nice girl with a cheerful disposition, but she’s extremely finicky and can spend hours moaning and groaning about something. Ilse likes me a lot. She’s very smart, but lazy.Hanneli Goslar, or Lies as she’s called at school, is a bit on the strange side. She’s usually shy–outspoken at home, but reserved around other people. She blabs whatever you tell her to her mother. But she says what shethinks, and lately I’ve come to appreciate her a great deal.Nannie van Praag-Sigaar is small, funny and sensible. I think she’s nice. She’s pretty smart. There isn’t much else you can say about Nannie.Eefje de Jong is, in my opinion, terrific. Though she’s only twelve, she’s quite the lady. She acts as if I were a baby. She’s also very helpful, and Ilike her.G.Z. is the prettiest girl in our class. She has a nice face, but is kind ofdumb. I think they’re going to hold her back a year, but of course I haven’ttold her that.Comment added by Anne at a later date:To my great surprise, G.Z. wasn’t held back a year after all.And sitting next to G.Z. is the last of us twelve girls, me.There’s a lot to be said about the boys, or maybe not so much after all.Maurice Coster is one of my many admirers, but pretty much of a pest.Sallie Springer has a filthy mind, and rumor has it that he’s gone all the way. Still, I think he’s terrific, because he’s very funny.Emiel Bonewit is G.Z.’s admirer, but she doesn’t care. He’s pretty boring.Rob Cohen used to be in love with me too, but I can’t stand him anymore. He’s an obnoxious, two-faced, lying, sniveling little goof who has an awfully high opinion of himself.Max van de Velde is a farm boy from Medemblik, but a decent sort, as Margot would say.Herman Koopman also has a filthy mind, just like Jopie de Beer, who’s a terrible flirt and absolutely girl-crazy.Leo Blom is Jopie de Beer’s best friend, but has been ruined by his dirty mind.Albert de Mesquita came from the Montessori School and skipped a grade. He’sreally smart.Leo Slager came from the same school, but isn’t as smart.Ru Stoppelmon is a short, goofy boy from Almelo who transferred to this school in the middle of the year.C.N. does whatever he’s not supposed to.Jacques Kocernoot sits behind us, next to C., and we (G. and I) laugh ourselves silly.Harry Schaap is the most decent boy in our class. He’s nice.Werner Joseph is nice too, but all the changes taking place lately have made him too quiet, so he seems boring.Sam Salomon is one of those tough guys from across the tracks. A real brat. (Admirer!)Appie Riem is pretty Orthodox, but a brat too.Saturday, June 20, 1942Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing, and I have an even greater need to get all kinds of things off my chest.”Paper has more patience than people.” I thought of this saying on one of those days when I was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay in or go out. I finally stayed where I was, brooding. Yes, paper does have more patience, and since I’m not planning to let anyone else read this stiff-backed notebook grandly referred to as a “diary,” unless I should everfind a real friend, it probably won’t make a bit of difference.Now I’m back to the point that prompted me to keep a diary in the first place: I don’t have a friend.Let me put it more clearly, since no one will believe that a thirteen-year-old girl is completely alone in the world. And I’m not. I have loving parents and a sixteen-year-old sister, and there are about thirty people I can call friends. I have a throng of admirers who can’t keep their adoring eyes off me and who sometimes have to resort to using a broken pocket mirror to try and catch a glimpse of me in the classroom. I have a family, loving aunts and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything, except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem. Maybe it’s my fault that we don’tconfide in each other. In any case, that’s just how things are, and unfortunately they’re not liable to change. This is why I’ve started the diary.To enhance the image of this long-awaited friend in my imagination, I don’t want to jot down the facts in this diary the way most people would do, but Iwant the diary to be my friend, and I’m going to call this friend Kitty.Since no one would understand a word of my stories to Kitty if I were to plunge right in, I’d better provide a brief sketch of my life, much as I dislike doing so.My father, the most adorable father I’ve ever seen, didn’t marry my mother until he was thirty-six and she was twenty-five. My sister Margot was born in Frankfurt am Main in Germany in 1926. I was born on June 12, 1929. I lived in Frankfurt until I was four. Because we’re Jewish, my father immigrated to Holland in 1933, when he became the Managing Director of the Dutch Opekta Company, which manufactures products used in making jam. My mother, Edith Hollander Frank, went with him to Holland in September, while Margot and I were sent to Aachen to stay with our grandmother. Margot went to Holland in December, and I followed in February, when I was plunked down on the table as a birthday present for Margot.I started right away at the Montessori nursery school. I stayed there until I was six, at which time I started first grade. In sixth grade my teacher was Mrs. Kuperus, the principal. At the end of the year we were both in tears as we said a heartbreaking farewell, because I’d been accepted at the Jewish Lyceum, where Margot also went to school.Our lives were not without anxiety, since our relatives in Germany were suffering under Hitler’s anti-Jewish laws. After the pogroms in 1938 my two uncles (my mother’s brothers) fled Germany, finding safe refuge in North America. My elderly grandmother came to live with us. She was seventy-three years old at the time.After May 1940 the good times were few and far between: first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews. Our freedom was severely restricted by a series of anti-Jewish decrees: Jews were required to wear a yellow star; Jews were required to turn in their bicycles; Jews were forbidden to use streetcars; Jews were forbidden to ride in cars, even their own; Jews were required to do their shopping between 3 and 5 p.m.; Jews were required to frequent only Jewish-owned barbershops and beauty parlors; Jews were forbidden to be out on the streets between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.; Jews were forbidden to go to theaters, movies or any other forms of entertainment; Jews were forbidden to use swimming pools, tennis courts, hockey fields or any other athletic fields; Jews were forbidden to go rowing; Jews were forbidden to take part in any athletic activity in public; Jews were forbidden to sit in their gardens or those of their friends after 8 p.m.; Jews were forbidden to visit Christians in their homes; Jews were required to attend Jewish schools, etc. You couldn’t do this and you couldn’t do that, but life went on. Jacque always said to me, “I don’t dare do anythinng anymore, ’cause I’m afraid it’s not allowed.” Read more <div id="

  • People who use the term Nazi loosely should be forced to read this book and watch the films of the liberation of the camps and the survivors and stacks of dead. Technically, it is very 13 year old girl. Strategically, it is masterful. I made sure all my children and grandchildren and not just for the humanity but for the callous way certain people term others NAZIs ……. We need to understand just how bad true nazis were. This tomb helps.
  • This is not the same Diary of Anne Frank I read as a youth. It “includes previously unpublished material” so beware with your own children.
  • I read this book in middle school and remembered really liking it. Also for those interested this IS the definitive edition. In the Afterword or Index It describes how the book was published. Anne herself wrote two versions of the diary, she wrote one with the intention of publishing it (version B), the other more raw and personal I think (version A). So When Otto Frank looked to publish the book, he created a third version (Version C), this version censored some of Anne’s thought on her mom and I think it may have also censored the relationship with Peter. Otto had wanted this version (version D) to be published after his death due to feeling uncomfortable publishing unnecessary personal details.So this is the definitive text of Anne Frank’s diary. I would also recommend as a supplementary text “Anne Franks tales from the secret Annex”. It’s a short book that compiles the other things Anne wrote like short stories and other things about her.Now with that in mind. Let me give my personal opinion on the text, I believe this book is very good in terms of being a historical piece and first hand account of WW2 and the Nazis in not only Amsterdam but the world. Anne writes when Germany first attacked Russia and several other things that Winston Churchill or other official’s were talking about on the radio at the time. So is it interesting to read? If you’re really into WW2 in Europe and you enjoy studying these things, then Yes. It’s good to read.Personally I’m more interested in WW2 (and most history for that matter) in the East (like Japan, China, Russia, Asia overall) but I still find the Nazis and their history very interesting. This book was written when Anne was between the ages of 13-15 years old. It’s VERY repetitive and honestly best read in short amounts at a time If you really want to enjoy it.I’m actually currently reading a book written by a girl who was in Cambodia just as the Khmer rouge took over and won the revolution, This book details her perspective as a five year old and what she remembers (Along with the help of her siblings). To be fair, this book was written later and While it is a first hand account. It might be more inaccurate than the diary of Anne Frank. I would however say, this book presents information in a much more digestible way. This book isn’t the ramblings of an angsty teenage girl, It’s accounts on what she went through while still presenting an interesting narrative.Personally I would suggest only to people who are super into WW2I think if you want something more fun to read while still being very historical. You should the the book “First they killed my father” the book about the Khmer rouge.I guess it depends on what interests you more. Europe during WW2 or Asia (post WW2 to be fair) If you’re interested in WW2 with China and Japan I might suggest “The Rape of Nanking” I’ve yet to read the book though I’ve heard some of what happened in Nanking. It terms of brutality the Japanese were probably much more brutal. If you’re interested in concentration camps, read about Unit 731, essentially a concentration camp located in Manchruia, China.Anyway I’ll link the other Anne frank text and also the book “first they killed my father”. Maybe just read both and see what you think,Anne frank Tales from the secret Annexhttps://www.amazon.com/Anne-Franks-Tales-Secret-Annex/dp/0553586386/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=Anne+Frank%27s+Tales+from+the+Secret+Annex%3A+A+Collection+of+Her+Short+Stories%2C+Fables%2C+and+Lesse&qid=1638888273&sr=8-1-fkmr0First they killed my fatherhttps://www.amazon.com/First-They-Killed-Father-Remembers/dp/0060856262/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15VGEC8H433HE&keywords=first+they+killed+my+father&qid=1638888339&sprefix=first+the%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-1
  • Bought this to replace a long lost copy. The book is 100% amazing. However, the print is probably 8-9pt font which is edge to edge. Quite literally to the point you can either tear it apart to see words on the inside of the page or buy a different print. Sadly I got two copies, one to send as a gift, and both are awful.
  • I first read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and have made it a point to read it every year around the time of my birthday. Now I’m a middle-aged mom – it’s amazing how I “see” things differently as my life experience changes. Anne Frank’s diary capture the experience of how a distant event – the election of a psycopathic dictator – turns an ordinary, middle class life completely upside down. Anne’s diary entries, so real for their teenage angst and occasional temper tantrums, help us experience what it’s like to go from a member of the community to a hated, feared and hunted minority. It is breath-taking to see how fragile “reality” is and how anyone, because of their race, sexuality, gender, politics or other affiliations could become the next outcast at risk. Peace and democracy are fragile gifts which much be protected from anyone who tries to leverage hate and tribalism for the sake of amassing power.
  • I am horrified that I bought this version for my 12 year old son. Contains sexually explicit details of the female anatomy. This caught us completely by surprised and he is so embarrassed. Parents need to be aware of this!!
  • The Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl book is not just about a young girl and most of her family whose fate was held in Hitler’s hands, and sent to “camps” with deplorable conditions. It is a heartbreaking story because we know the end of the story, but it’s the beginning and every thing leading up to the fate of the Frank family that shows the humanity. Anne was a 12-year-old girl, smart and loved her family, yet, she favored her father more. She had a rough relationship with her mother and sister. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t connect with her mother and sister, though she tried. She started writing in a journal that she named “Kitty” so it was her sharing her feelings, and what was going on. After awhile it was not about talking to Kitty, but the surroundings and having to be quiet, hide, and still get word from the outside world. Darkened basements, warehouses, no light, hoarding and saving food, and some sneaking out to find out what was going on in the world. Who did they take? Did that person go to the camps to die, or somewhere else? It’s definitely un-put-downable! Anne writes in one of her entries, “I’ve learned one thing; you only get to know someone after a fight. Only then can you judge their true character.” (This book also has some family photos and sketches that Anne did). Anne Frank was born in 1929: Her parents were Edith and Otto Frank. She had an older sister, Margo. Otto was the only one who survived, and was determined for the world to see Anne’s words. At the end of the book, you find the information about the inhabitants of the Secret Annex and their real names. Edith died of starvation and exhaustion, Margo and Anne died of Typhus. No one ever knew who betrayed them. Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl is a definite recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews. This title is on a list of banned books.
  • Everything OK with my order, delivery and product. Very satisfied.
  • This is one of the most eye opeing books. I think it is brilliant for everyone to read and this book will widen your perspective.
  • Really good read.
  • I bought this book when I was 15 but I waited until I was 17 to read it. I didn’t force myself to wait two years, nor did I not want to read it, I just felt that reading Anne Frank’s diary is something that needs to be appreciated; to be felt.I had just read a couple of books set during WWII and around the topic of the Holocaust (‘The Book Thief’ and ‘The Boy in the Striped Pajamas’) and just totally felt it was time to read Anne Frank’s diary. And I am so glad I waited because I never would have got so much out of it if I had read it when I was younger and not in the right mindset to read it.Probably the most poignant thing about this book is not the fact that Anne is in hiding from the Nazis or in danger from being murdered, but that she is a normal teenage girl. She has all the feelings, the thoughts, the emotions that all teenagers – and I at the time of reading – feel so strongly at that age. Whilst reading it you can feel Anne grow up and come of age, and the way her feelings grow and mature as she ages. It is literally the exact same thing I felt during my teenage years. In fact, I felt so similar to Anne I could almost have been reading my own diary – apart from the rather focal Nazi part – and this is what affected me most about the diary. She often refers to “after the war” or “when I am a mother” or “when I have my own house”, and these were the things I found particularly heartbreaking because they are things all teenage girls yearn for, and things that were stolen from her in the most cruel way.Of course, Anne Frank’s diary is incredibly important as a cultural record because it tells you so much detail about actual life in Nazi Europe during the early 1940s, and that is history you cannot get from statistics and dates. The Holocaust is so important to learn about because it was such a horror that can never be repeated again, and the story of such an innocent, full-of-life girl reminds us of that.When you feel you are “of age” (in a sense), you CAN’T not read this book. It has befriended me and haunted me in so many ways. I love Anne and I mourn her, and all the other victims just like her, every time I think about the Holocaust. She is the representative for all the suffering that the Holocaust inflicted, and her diary makes you feel it in such an important way.
  • Reading this book is both rewarding and sad, so prepare yourself for both. I’m less than half way through this book and I feel nothing but sadness that such a life was taken at such a young time in life. I wish I could express my feeling about this book in the same way Anne could express herself in her diary, but I don’t possess such a talent, even though I’m twenty years her senior. Like most people, I know what Anne’s destiny was, and I find some aspects of this diary very difficult to read, knowing what I do.I don’t think I’m the only person alive that believes that this world is a much poorer place without the talents of such gifted people like Anne, but we cannot change the course of history, so lets hope we can instead learn the lesson of our past.I’m not the type for travelling, but this diary has inspired me to visit Anne’s ‘secret Annex’ to see first hand the place where she lived in isolation for so long. I’ve read many books in my time, but none have touched my heart as this one has.
