Anne Frank’s fateful escape to Amsterdam with her family and fellow Jews began her journey of writing. Her diary brings to light trials and tribulations of a 13-year-old girl who saw the horrors of racism and Holocaust at a very tender age. She stood trapped between World War II and her own battles, the ones she fought with using her mind and with a pinch of humour. The original version of the diary was published by Otto Frank, Anne’s father, in Dutch in 1947.
