It was a simple name for a complicated girl, a young woman who has intrigued the world for four generations. Anne was a child caught up in a terrible war. She was forced into hiding, as were many others. She suffered for her heritage and religion, but again, so did many others. So what sets Anne apart? Above all it is her diary, and that her funny, insightful, and honest writing reveals so much about both who she was and her vision of the world. “Even though I’m only fourteen,” Anne wrote, “I know what I want, I know who’s right and who’s wrong, I have my own opinions, ideas and principles . . .” Anne was far from perfect. But that was okay because perfection wasn’t really one of her goals. Anne wanted to be interesting, to captivate those around her. She did just that during her tragically shortened lifetime, and her story continues to do so today.

Much later the diary would become a famous book, read all around the world. For now, however, Anne was happy just to start writing in it. Of course, the beginning of Anne’s diary was not the beginning of her life. That moment had come thirteen years earlier, on June 12, 1929. Her parents, Otto and Edith Frank, were delighted to meet their new baby. Their older daughter, three-year-old Margot, seemed pleased as well with her new role as a big sister.
