Her life
Targeted at children aged 8 and up, this easy-to-read version recounts the life of Anne Frank, a typical girl whose life changed dramatically after Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Forced to flee Germany, Anne and her family went into hiding in the Netherlands for two years, where she documented their experiences in her diary. Tragically, they were discovered and deported to concentration camps, leading to Anne's death. Her father, Otto, later published her diary to share her story and promote understanding and peace.
