About the author

Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (German: [anəˈliːs maˈʁiː ˈfʁaŋk], Dutch: [ɑnəˈlis maːˈri ˈfrɑŋk]); 12 June 1929 – February or March 1945) was a German-born Dutch-Jewish diarist. One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch; English: The Secret Annex), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's best known books and has been the basis for several plays and films.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there with her family at the age of four and a half when the Nazis gained control over Germany. Born a German national, she lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the Franks went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father, Otto Frank, worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, she kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. In October or November 1944, Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died (probably of typhus) a few months later. They were originally estimated by the Red Cross to have died in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as their official date of death, but research by the Anne Frank House in 2015 suggests it is more likely that they died in February.

Otto, the only survivor of the Franks, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 60 languages.

Anne Franks Dagbog

Ny oversættelse af evigt aktuel bog om den ultimative forfølgelse og undertrykkelse.

Anne Franks dagbog er den virkelige historie om den unge, jødiske pige, der må gå under jorden med sin familie i Amsterdam på flugt fra nazisterne. Hun får en dagbog i 13-års fødselsdagsgave, og i den beskriver hun sine oplevelser i årene 1942 til 1944, hvor familien skjuler sig i "Baghuset" og til slut bliver angivet og deporteret til koncentrationslejren Bergen-Belsen. Her ender Anne sine dage blot en måned før lejren befries af de engelske tropper.

Bogen er et af de vigtigste vidnesbyrd om udslettelsen af Europas jøder under Anden Verdenskrig. Den skildrer et liv på flugt, et liv under jorden. Alligevel opfatter Anne ikke sig selv som et offer, men fremtræder som en livlig, klarsynet og selvstændig ung pige med sine problemer, længsler, drømme og håb - hvilket bare gør hendes vidnesbyrd endnu stærkere. Kun Annes far overlevede krigen, og han udgav i 1947 første gang datterens dagbog, der siden er udkommet i utallige udgaver og på alverdens sprog.

Flot ny udgave med forord af Kirsten Nilsson og i ny oversættelse af Aino Roscher Kristensen.
