(Monday, June 16, 1952) — Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, a book of the writings from the Dutch-language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her Jewish family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, was published today in the United States for the first time by Doubleday & Company.

The introduction to the English publication was written by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

The Frank family was apprehended in 1944, and Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

The diary was retrieved by Miep Gies, who gave it to Anne’s father, Otto Frank, the family’s only known survivor, just after the Second World War was over. The diary has since been published in more than 70 languages.
