About this listen

The definitive edition.

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has since become a world classic - a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.

In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Critic reviews

"The new edition reveals a new depth to Anne's dreams, irritations, hardship, and passions....There may be no better way to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II than to reread

The Diary of a Young Girl, a testament to an indestructive nobility of spirit in the face of pure evil." (Chicago Tribune)

“The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust...remains astonishing and excruciating.” (The New York Times Book Review)

Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time


Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.

Powerful First-hand Account • Insightful Teenage Perspective • Compelling Narration • Remarkable Storytelling Ability

I had never read this before, and was a little leery because I normally like fiction and didn't know if it would keep my interest. This was a very enjoyable listen, often funny, and often tear-jerking. Selma Blair does a great job of capturing the innocence, and insight, of the young Anne Frank. Even if you've read it before, give this one a listen!

I have heard of this book for most of my 57 years and never bothered to read it. I have been interested in WWII, the Holocaust, and Hitler books and documentaries lately and ordered Anne Frank.

What a fun girl she would have been to know. I love her spirit, attitude and comedic twist on things.
Selma Blair did an amazing job narrating this book and the whole time I could only picture as that Anne Frank was telling me these stories.
It is everything you could want in such a story.
Don't miss this one!

I just keep thinking what a great story teller Anne was at such a young age. the days that crept by for them and the things that became normal were delightfully kept in her diary, Kitty. I think she would have been so proud of herself for her wonderful account of what happened she did a glorious job sharing everything with the world.

beautiful account if human kind good and horrible.
