Frank, Anne.(1993). Anne frank: The diary of a young girl. Bantam.
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is a book originally written in the Dutch language by Anne Frank over a two year period while her family was in hiding during the time of the Holocaust. After the war the diary was retrieved by Anne's father, Frank. The diary kept a record of Anne's daily life while in hiding from the Nazis during the time when Hitler was dictator.
The books was first published with the title Het Achterhuis: Dagboekbrieven van 12 Juni 1942 – 1 Augustus 1944. It was first published in the United States in 1952. This book is popular and controversial in schools because of some of the language and content that it contains. I feel this book is a wonderful addition to a library or classroom library to integrate a primary source into Social Studies. Students are amazed when they think of a child their age going through situations like Anne and her family.
