Its an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because have never done so before but because it seems to me that neither 1 - nor for that matter anyone else - will be interested in the unbosoming of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. Still what does that matter? I want to write but more than that I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.-Anne Frank Anne Franks world famous diary charts two years of her life from 1942 to 1944 when her family were hiding in Amsterdam from German Nazis.
