DESCRIPTON:
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anne Frank received a diary as one of her presents on June 12, 1942, her 13th birthday.[2][3] According to the Anne Frank House, the red, checkered autograph book which Anne used as her diary was actually not a surprise, since she had chosen it the day before with her father when perusing a bookstore near her home.[3] She began to write in it on June 14, 1942, two days later,[4][5] On July 5, 1942, Margot received an official summons to report to a Nazi work camp in Germany, and on July 6, Anne went into hiding with her father Otto, mother Edith, older sister Margot. They were accompanied by another family, Hermann van Pels, Otto's business partner, his wife Auguste, and their teenage son Peter.[6] Their hiding place was group went into hiding in the sealed-off upper rooms of the annex at the back of Otto's company building in Amsterdam.[6][7] The rooms were concealed behind a hidden bookcase. Mrs. van Pels' dentist, Fritz Pfeffer, joined them four months later. In the published version, names were changed: the van Pels are known as the Van Daans and Fritz Pfeffer as Mr. Dussel. With the assistance of a group of Otto Frank's trusted colleagues, they remained hidden for two years and one month.
In manuscript, Anne Frank's original diaries are written over three extant volumes. The first volume (the red-and-white checkered autograph book) covers the period between June 14, 1942 and December 5, 1942. Since the second surviving volume (a school exercise book) begins on December 22, 1943 and ends on April 17, 1944, it is assumed that the original volume or volumes between December 1942 and December 1943 were lost—presumably after the arrest, when the hiding place was emptied on Nazi instructions. However, this missing period is covered in the version Anne rewrote for preservation. The third existing volume (which was also a school exercise book) contains entries from April 17, 1944 to August 1, 1944, when Anne wrote for the last time before her arrest.[8]:2
