Anne Frank > 
On 12 June, 1942, Anne Frank received a diary from her parents as a 13th birthday present. She called it Kitty and as she started to document her innermost feelings and thoughts in the diary, she also recorded one of the darkest periods in human history. During the two years she wrote in her diary, she described the extraordinary life of a young girl in turbulent times. A young girl, who more than anything else, wanted to play, have fun and fall in love. When she first began writing in her new diary, all of this was still possible, but only a short time later her freedom was taken away and her family were forced into hiding. Two years after that her life was taken away too, in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She was not yet sixteen, but became one of the millions of helpless, sick and frightened victims of an insanity that overwhelmed a whole continent.
