While I've never read the book, I do have some knowledge of it. The following is my best recollection. Anne Frank was a Jew living with her extended family in Holland/Netherlands. When Germany occupied the country in 1940, the Frank family was taken in by a Christian family and hidden. As I recall there were six or seven Franks. The hiding place was an attic room converted to living space. With rationing, food was scarce but the Christian family through a variety of means was able to keep the Franks alive. Obviously the conditions were difficult, with so many people living in a small space for a period of years. Anne Frank was about 12 years old when this ordeal began. She wrote a diary during her family's confinement. The hideout was secure until the summer of 1944, when they were betrayed and German soldiers came and arrested the Franks. They were split up, Anne going to, as I recall, the largest work camp of the Holocaust, Auschwitz. Here she contracted typhus (a disease caused by parasites that causes a fever) and died. I think one or two members of her family survived including her father. Anne's diary had been hidden in the attic and was not discovered, by accident, a few years after the war. Her father took the papers, edited them (mainly he removed sexual references, as his daughter was becoming muture as a young teen and made sexual remarks in the diary) and had them published. The book was a world wide best seller.

The Holocaust tragically resulted in Anne Frank's death at a concentration camp. Anne Frank became a symbol of the millions of innocent lives lost during the Holocaust through her diary, which provided a firsthand account of the persecution faced by Jewish people during that time.
Anne's diary is a day-by-day account of the life in hiding of the eight people confined tho three attic rooms. It is also filled with Anne's observations and thoughts on the war, life, being a Jew, and trying to live together harmoniously under the circumstances. It also serves as an excellent day-to-day autobiography of Anne's life from 13 June 1942 to 1 August 1944.
she stated in her diary her experiences in the hands of the German people or the Nazis during the World War 2 and stated there that those experiences were not good, they were killed mercilessly during that time.
It forced her into poverty, made her write a book that many schools in the future would pretend to enjoy to read, and was, of course, the cause of her death.
The irony is Annie's dream to become a famous writer which is attained only after she dies in the "famous" book The diary of Anne Frank.
Anne and Kitty have a very close relationship. This is obvious because Anne tells Kitty all of her thoughts and feelings.
