The Diary of Anne Frank. For the first time in Russia, the complete version and stories

"The Diary of Anne Frank" is one of the most famous and widely read books in the world, having sold 30 million copies and becoming a symbol of the indomitable strength of the human spirit. After the war, Anne Frank,... who died in a concentration camp in March 1945, wanted to publish her diary under the title "The Secret Annex." However, for seventy years, readers knew the diary of the Dutch schoolgirl only in editions compiled by editors from its various versions. In this book, for the first time in Russian, the final authorial version of the diary is presented, which was released in the West only in 2019. This is exactly the text that Anne Frank wanted to see in bookstores. Hiding from the Nazis in the "secret annex" of an old office building in Amsterdam, she wrote thirty essays and personal memories, known as "Stories from the Secret Annex," and did not manage to finish her novel. Anne Frank's literary works, along with the complete version of her diary, offer readers a stunning understanding of the Nazi occupation and the tragedy of the Holocaust.
