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.

For more than two years, Miep Gies and her husband helped hide the Franks from the Nazis. Like thousands of unsung heroes of the Holocaust, they risked their lives each day to bring food, news, and emotional support to the victims. From her own remarkable childhood as a World War I refugee to the moment she places a small, red-orange, checkered diary -- Anne's legacy -- in Otto Frank's hands, Miep Gies remembers her days with simple honesty and shattering clarity.

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some information about the audiobook, but in this case we think that would spoil the listening. We think it's important that you start to listen without knowing what it is about.

Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child's soul as she searches for her place in the world.

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)

Makes you appreciate everything
This is so well written, I kept forgetting she was only a teenager.
Selma Blair did a wonderful job bringing Anne’s story to love, I HIGHLY recommend this book.
Never forget.

Wow
Wow I knew what was gonna happen, but I never thought I'd be teary eyed when the reader said that was the end of her diary. And continued to narrate the "Afterword". 🥲
I loved her courage, and her view against laziness and taking the "easy" way of life.

Endlessly Fascinating and Gutwrenching
such an intelligent young lady and so well spoken. heartbreaking to know what happened and what her and her loved ones along with millions of others suffered through.
only critique I have is i wish the narrator had an authentic accent or spoke the language fluefluently. I found the German pronunciations kind of awkward to listen to and I would have connected more to her if there was an accent as if Anne was reading it.

Very well done!
When I read the original I frequently forgot that this was a young teenage girl. Her vocabulary is very good so it's easy to start thinking of an adult. Selma Blair did such a great job at keeping the fact that Anne was only 14 - 15 years old front and foremost in my mind. I actually think I enjoyed this more than reading the original.

"What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again." Anne Frank
I still feel overwhelmed with sadness from listening to The Diary of a Young Girl and walking through Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam last week.
So thankful to all who helped to end the horrific Holocaust and to Anne Frank for sharing her heart and experience with the world. The Diary of a Young Girl is one of the most widely read books in the world * #neveragain

Highly Recommended
I went to Amsterdam over the summer and obviously, I had to check out the Anne Frank Museum (which was incredible btw). I remember reading this book back in high school but I don't remember a thing. Selma is brilliant in this audible! She is so animated and made this audible so enjoyable.
