Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girlis among the most moving and eloquent documents of the Holocaust and among the most enduring books of the twentieth century. It remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit for its tens of millions of readers all over the world.

Restored in this Definitive Edition are diary entries that had been omitted from the original edition. These passages, which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. In the end, Anne's teen angst pales beside her profound insights, her self-discovery and her unbroken faith in good triumphing over evil. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable, and more vital than ever.

A timeless story rediscovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. For both young readers and adults it continues to bring to life this young woman, who for a time survived the worst horror the modern world had seen - and who remained triumphantly and heartbreakingly human throughout her ordeal. For those who have previously read Anne Frank's diary, this edition is a chance to rediscover her, and for those who have not yet encountered her, this is the edition to cherish.
