Synopsis:

On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank wrote her first diary entry in the notebook that was her birthday gift. In July of the same year, she and her family went into hiding in the spice warehouse of her father's company to escape the Nazis. During the two years of living in concealment, writing in her diary became Anne’s greatest joy as she meticulously documented the hardships and pain of this period, yet she also didn't forget laughter and enjoyment. Two years later, they were discovered and sent to concentration camps. This innocent girl tragically perished along with her family and friends, with only her father surviving. After the war, Anne's diary was edited by her father and published, becoming one of the best-selling books in the world, second only to the Bible.
