Ana Frank. The diary.

Ana Frank is well known as the Jewish girl who wrote her diary while confined for two years, hiding away from the Nazis in the Netherlands. The book is rich in detail about everyday life and routines in those terrible and claustrophobic circumstances, as well as sprinkled with angry adolescence and Ana´s sense of humour.
