June 25th, 1947, the Diary of Anne Frank is published for the first time. The Diary of a Young Girl is a book composed of extracts from a diary written by Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the World War II Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
