The Frank family decide to hide in a secret fat in Mr Frank's office building. Their younger daughter, Anňe, begins to write a diary of their lives in. hiding. Soon another Jewish family, Mr and Mrs van Daan and their son Peter, join the Franks. Anne and Peter don't like each other at first, but then they begin to fall in love. Life in the hiding-place is full of arguments and dangers, and the people there are often hungry and frightened. But they hope for the best too, until that final day when the police arrive to arrest them. This book is like an adventure story, but it is all true. Young Anne Frank really wrote her diary in the Secret Annexe, their hiding-place in the Amsterdam house, and after the war her father wanted the world to know about it. Anne herself was no longer alive then; the Germans took her away to a concentration camp with her sister Margot. She died there in 1945,just before British soldiers arrived to save the prisoners. Anne's diary speaks to all of us about the terrible times of war, and of the awful suffering of the Jews. But it is also a story of hope and love, showing the best sides of human life too. Anne Frank: born 12 June 1929 in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany; died early 1945 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Hanover, Germany.
