The Diary of a Young Girl is the real diary of a teenage girl Anne Frank, which she starts writing on her 13th birthday(12 June 1942). It tells the story of her family who lived in Germany and the major part of the book covers the survival of her family during the Second World War as they go into hiding from Hitler and Nazi's treatment to the Jews in Europe. The diary ends suddenly on 1 August 1944.
She name her diary "Kitty" and she recorded all the difficulties she and her family faced as they shared same house with other families.In her diary she write about her beliefs, her friends, her school and her boyfriend Peter. Anne was a really happy and cheerful person even though she and her family were in an awful situation.
The most important message being conveyed in this book is that all people have the right to live in freedom. Anne's story shows us that just because people may be from different religion or race, doesn't mean that they should be treated differently. The terrible treatment of Jewish people during the war has shown this. As Nazis killed six million Jews
around two-third of Europe's population.
Anne and her family eventually were captured by the Nazis and taken to a concentration camp where young Anne, unfortunately passed away. The diary was later recovered by Anne's father who was the only survivor of the family. Since in her diary she mentions her desire of publishing a book based on her diary. Anne's Father took it upon himself as his duty to make his daughter's dream come true.
