I am part of the pain of millions of people, yet when I look at the sky, I think everything will turn to good.

In her diary, thoughts of fear, discouragement, irony, the will to live and hope are told by Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl. It has become one of the most widely read and loved books in the world, as well as an important testimony of the Second World War. It is a personal and profound story that makes you think about the atrocity of the war.
