About this listen

Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter.

The Diary of Anne Frank Is 'A Monument to The Human Spirit'

One of the most famous accounts of living under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a 13-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist Mirjam Pressler, this is a true story to be rediscovered by each new generation.

12th July 1944:

'It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.'

In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse.

Aged 13, Anne kept a diary of her time in the secret annexe. She movingly revealed how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with hunger, the daily threat of discovery and death and isolation from the outside world.

A thought-provoking record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a testament to the atrocities of the past and a promise they will never be forgotten.

Editorial Reviews

In celebration of its 70th Anniversary, this is the complete and unabridged audiobook of Diary of a Young Girl, the memoir written by Anne Frank and narrated beautifully by English actress Helena Bonham Carter. The tragic early teenage years of Anne’s life that she documented in her diary are as powerful now as it was when it was first discovered and published in the years after World War II. Audible listeners will revisit or discover Anne’s intimate account of survival and family. A heartbreaking memoir from one young witness to a senseless and terrible war.

Critic Reviews

"A modern classic . . . Anne's diary tells a story that is true, memorable, important and strongly personalized . . . compelling reading." (The Times)

"Anne Frank’s diary is one of the greatest books of the century … As she brings herself and her circumstances into such buzzing, engaged life on the page, she triumphs over her history." (Guardian)

"Still rings down the decades as the most moving testament to the persecution of innocence." ( Daily Mail)

Remind me my own mindset when I was child

By God grace I was lucky enough not to go through such anne and her family and all Jews had to go through.
Inspire of all that I like where anne frequently writes life is good.There is sky,birds animals and nature which are enough to make us happy.
Her remark on People are good touches me.

Great diary

This book surprises me on the fact that Anne Frank being a very young girl still had enough intelligence to write a diary like this and the knowledge she possessed was amazing. On the other end the story the story also makes me sad, for the end the people in the hiding had to face. Hats off to Anne Frank for maintaining this diary.

Awesome narrative of a beautiful book

The book shows the struggle of an adolescent girl who is to face family problems and the political problems of the jews. It shows great detail about the struggles of Jews in the World Great War. Great narration By Helena Carter

this book is God's gift to men..

In the most cruel autocratic genocide. thru Ann's book we get an insight into the most minute details of living in hiding. Ann is just the suitable person to be writing this. without any intension of making it a book, she shares her feelings and experiences of living as a kid to kitty.(her diary).

A journey through adolescence, human nature, diverse human personalities, infatuation, love,.parenting,.friendship, brotherhood, fear, hope, death, human psychology.

Let Ann give you an experience of life in tough times from little to great joys and sorrows.

How could she stay so positive amongst all that ?

I can never know how she was so positive amongst all that. I cannot seem to be ever be happy despite all I have. We are all prisoners of our own minds.

Dear Anne

Even before reading your book, I somehow always felt an uncanny connection with you and now I can positively say that my intuition was right. I could resonate with your thoughts like I know you and have ever with any living being. Diary writers would follow what I am trying to express. Love.

The reading was very soothing and I thoroughly enjoyed it, all through out.

Amazing read for all age groups

It's a personal diary, so it is as open and honest as it can get. Amazed by how at such tender age, Anne is so clear about her thoughts and feelings. Makes you appreciate everything you have, specially freedom to live. I highly recommend this book 😊
