On August 4, 1944, the Frank family was found out by the Nazi Secret Service, arrested, and taken to a detention centre where they were forced to perform hard labour. Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, but her family soon moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands to escape the increasing discrimination and violence faced by millions of minorities at the hands of the growing Nazi party. In one of the excerpts Google has displayed, Anne says, “I feel like a songbird whose wings have been ripped off and who keeps hurting itself against the bars of its dark cage.”

Michael Rosen marks Anne Frank anniversary with new poem (The Guardian)

Sonnet for Anne Frank reflects on the 'awful paradox between the living spirit of the diary and then the knowledge that you have'

When translated from Dutch to English, the book’s title became The Diary of a Young Girl. “[The poem] makes a space for the reader to dwell on that paradox, which is in its own way quite painful. So there is an awful paradox between the living spirit of the diary and the knowledge that you have.

Google Doodle today honors Anne Frank- Remembering the ... (Hindustan Times)

On 75th Anniversary of The Diary of Anne Frank, Google Doodle honors the writer who died during the Holocaust. Check the details.

A few months later, Anne and Margot Frank were transported to another horrific concentration camp called Bergen-Belsen in Germany. Over the following 25 months in hiding, she filled its pages with a heartfelt account of teenage life in the “secret annex,” from small details to her most profound dreams and fears. The Frank family, like millions of others, were forced to act quickly and leave nearly everything behind to seek protection. World War II ignited when Anne was 10 years old, and soon after, Germany invaded the Netherlands, bringing the war to her family’s doorstep. Unable to live and practice freely and safely, millions of Jews were forced to flee their homes or go into hiding. Today is the 75th anniversary of the publication of her diary, which is widely considered one of the most important books in modern history.

How did Anne Frank die? Death of Jewish girl during Holocaust ... (NationalWorld)

Anne Frank's diary was published two years after her death during the Nazi Holocaust.

Otto, Edith, Margot and Frank were all selected for slave labour. They were interrogated before being sent to the Westerbork transit camp. It was first published in English in 1952 under the title The Diary of a Young Girl. Otto’s secretary, Miep Gies, had saved Anne’s diary and after reading it, Otto decided to publish most of the entries in order to fulfil her dream of becoming a writer. In her diary she wrote about her friends, conversations and arguments with her family, the difficulty of adjusting to new people joining her in the annex, her fears, and her hopes for the future, which included becoming a writer. Anne is one of the most well-known victims of the Holocaust because of the diary which she wrote during the Nazi occupation of Holland.

The published diary and cultural adaptations present Anne as a child deprived of a future rather than as a person who accomplished something in her lifetime. The Dutch-language “Revised Critical Edition” appeared in 2001 (2003 in English), which also included Anne’s short stories or “tales,” known as “Tales from the Secret Annex.” Published in English in 2019 (2013 in German), “all known texts by Anne Frank,” including multiple versions of the diary, poetry, stories, letters and other compositions appeared in a hefty one-volume “Collected Works,” which acknowledges Anne as a writer with a body of work that spans multiple genres. For instance, the published diary begins with lists of her unfiltered comments about schoolmates instead of her intended opening reflection on keeping a diary and the possibility of a wider audience: “Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. In 1952, the first American edition appeared as “The Diary of a Young Girl.” The book has remained in print and has been translated into over 70 languages across these decades. Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl, employees of Otto Frank’s company who helped those in hiding, rescued the red-and-white checked volume and the additional notebooks in which Anne wrote her diary (version A) and other writings, plus the hundreds of “loose sheets” on which she drafted her revisions (version B) through March 29, 1944. We know this because we have access to the version that she carefully edited and shaped — but that is not the version in general circulation today.
