The Diary of a Young Girl is the personal diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who chronicled her family's two years in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands. The diary begins on Anne's 13th birthday in 1942 and ends shortly before her capture by the Gestapo in 1944. It details her daily life in the 'Secret Annex' above her father's office, where she lived with her family and another family, the van Daans, and a dentist, Mr. Dussel. The diary includes her thoughts on her relationships with the people in the annex, her feelings of isolation and loneliness, and her reflections on the war and her own identity. It is a powerful and poignant account of a young girl's experience during one of the most horrific periods in history[1][3][5].
Ryan talks about the power of journaling and why you should pass it on to your kids.
