Anne Frank

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annexe” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short. --back cover

Information from the Foreword There are three main versions of the Diary: Version A, as originally written by Anne Frank; Version B, as edited by Anne Frank herself; and Version C, as edited and abridged by her father Otto Frank. Version C is the one that is best known; however, all three versions were published in The Critical Edition. This ‘Definitive Edition’ is for general readers that has been compiled by Mirjam Pressler from Version C, supplemented with approximately 30% additional material from Versions A and B as well as material from five pages that were discovered in 1998. Among the most powerful accounts of the Nazi occupation, "The Diary of Anne Frank" chronicles the life of Anne Frank, a thirteen-year old girl fleeing her home in Amsterdam to go into hiding. Anne reveals the relationships between eight people living under miserable conditions: facing hunger, threat of discovery and the worst horrors the modern world had seen. In these pages, she grows up to be a young woman and a wise observer of human nature. She shares an unparalleled bond with her diary, which holds a detailed account of Anne's close relationship with her father, the lack of daughterly love for her mother, admiration for her sister's intelligence and closeness with her friend Peter. Anne Frank's account offers a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman who turns thoughtful and learns of the many terrors of the world.

Anne Frank’s extraordinary diary, written in the Amsterdam attic where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years, has become a world classic and a timeless testament to the human spirit. Now, in a new edition narrated by Selma Blair, enriched by many passages originally withheld by her father, we meet an Anne more real, more human, and more vital than ever. Here she is first and foremost a teenage girl—stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable, in love with life. She imparts her deeply secret world of soul-searching and hungering for affection, rebellious clashes with her mother, romance and newly discovered sexuality, and wry, candid observations of her companions. Facing hunger, fear of discovery and death, and the petty frustrations of such confined quarters, Anne writes with adult wisdom and views beyond her years. Her story is that of every teenager, lived out in conditions few teenagers have ever known.

Anne Frank, een joods meisje, dat in de Tweede Wereldoorlog met haar ouders, zusje en anderen ondergedoken is in een achterhuis op een Amsterdamse gracht, schrijft in haar dagboek over alles wat haar van haar 13e tot haar 15e jaar bezighoudt.

Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith

Anne Frank hield van 12 juni 1942 tot 1 augustus 1944 een dagboek bij. Ze schreef haar brieven alleen voor zichzelf, tot ze in de lente van 1944 op de radio de minister van Onderwijs in ballingschap, Bolkestein, hoorde spreken. Hij zei dat na de oorlog alle getuigenissen van het lijden van het Nederlandse volk onder de Duitse bezetting verzameld en openbaar moesten worden gemaakt. Als voorbeeld noemde hij onder meer dagboeken. Onder de indruk van deze redevoering besloot Anne Frank na de oorlog een boek te publiceren. Haar dagboek zou daarvoor als basis dienen. In maart 1945 stierf Anne Frank op vijftienjarige leeftijd in het concentratiekamp Bergen-Belsen. De enige overlevende van de familie, Otto Frank, zorgde ervoor dat het dagboek van zijn dochter toch gepubliceerd werd. In 1947 verscheen Het Achterhuis.

Alternate-cover edition of ISBN: 3596152771/9783596152773 Das Tagebuch von Anne Frank ist Symbol und Dokument zugleich. Symbol für den Völkermord an den Juden durch die Nazi-Verbrecher und Dokument der Lebenswelt einer einzigartig begabten jungen Schriftstellerin. Die vorliegende Ausgabe ist die weltweit verbindliche und einzige vom Anne Frank Fonds autorisierte Fassung des Tagebuchs, von dem es eine erste und eine zweite, spätere Version gibt, die beide von Anne Frank selbst stammen. Sie hatte das von ihr über mehr als zwei Jahre geführte Tagebuch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt überarbeitet, weil die erste Fassung ihren schriftstellerischen Ansprüchen nicht mehr genügte. Diese Ausgabe enthält den von Anne Frank überarbeiteten Tagebuchtext samt den unverändert aus der ersten Fassung übernommenen Teilen, ohne jene Auslassungen, die Annes Vater Otto Frank aus Diskretion vorgenommen hatte. Mirjam Pressler hat dafür eine neue, dem ungekünstelten Stil des Originals adäquate Übersetzung erarbeitet. Dieser vollständige Text, dessen Authentizität seit der kompletten Wiedergabe aller Werkfassungen in der kritischen Ausgabe der ›Tagebücher der Anne Frank‹ (S. Fischer Verlag, Frankfurt am Main 1988) unbestritten ist, vermittelt ein eindrucksvolles Bild von Anne Franks Gefühls- und Gedankenwelt und nicht zuletzt von ihren Fortschritten als Schriftstellerin. Mit kenntnisreichen Einführungen in die Lebens- und Familiengeschichte Anne Franks (Mirjam Pressler), in den historischen Kontext (Gerhard Hirschfeld) sowie in die Wirkungsgeschichte des Tagebuchs (Francine Prose).

Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank, with her parents and sister and four other people, went into hiding in the sealed-off back rooms of an Amsterdam office building in 1942, when the Nazi invaders intensified their persecution of Jews. For two years they remained safe. In August 1944 they were betrayed, Anne died in the ghastly concentration camp at Belsen. All the others perished too, except her father. Anne's astonishingly intimate diary was found by accident. With a touch of genius it records the strains of her unusual life, the problems of her unfolding womanhood, her falling in love, her unswerving faith in her religion. And it reveals the shining nobility of her spirit. Now known and loved the world over through State, Screen and TV adaptations or in translation, this touchingly human document remains timeless in its appeal --back cover

« Je vais pouvoir, j'espère, te confier toutes sortes de choses, comme je n'ai encore pu le faire à personne, et j'espère que tu me seras d'un grand soutien. » En 1942, la jeune Anne Frank a 13 ans. Elle vit heureuse à Amsterdam avec sa soeur Margot et ses parents, malgré la guerre. En juillet, ils s'installent clandestinement dans « l'Annexe » de l'immeuble du 263, Prinsenchracht. En 1944, ils sont arrêtés sur dénonciation. Anne est déportée à Auschwitz, puis à Bergen-Belsen, où elle meurt du typhus au début de 1945, peu après sa soeur. Son journal, qu'elle a tenu du 12 juin 1942 au 1e'août 1944, est un des témoignages les plus bouleversants qui nous soient parvenus sur la vie quotidienne d'une famille juive sous le joug nazi. Depuis près de soixante-dix ans, la voix de cette jeune fille pleine d'espoir hante des millions de lecteurs dans le monde entier.

Anne era uma rapariguinha de uma família judaica de Francfort que se refugiou na Holanda para escapar às perseguições nazis. Invadido este país, a família esconde-se com outras pessoas num “anexo” de uma casa, onde, protegida por gente corajosa e dedicada, consegue viver largo tempo sempre no terror de ser descoberta. Acabou por sê-lo. E o diário de Anne foi encontrado por acaso num monte de papéis velhos. Anne veio a morrer no campo de concentração de Bergen-Belsen. Mas o diário que essa rapariguita escreveu é, na sua perspicácia e na sua desenvoltura adolescente, um documento, um autêntico documento humano – e, só pelo facto de existir, um protesto contra as injustiças do mundo em que vivemos.
