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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of a Young Girl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A truly remarkable book.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of the most moving personal documents to come out of World War II.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"There may be no better way to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of a Young Girl, \u003c\/i\u003e a testament to an indestructible nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and na ve self-absorption of adolescence.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553577129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.18w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e139354 \/ Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anne Frank","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638796611740,"sku":"9780553577129","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_da4ad0a1-9f28-4d68-b0ef-cdc8e43312d0.jpg?v=1603848203","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-diary-of-a-young-girl-the-definitive-edition-9780553577129","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
