Anne Frank lived in hiding with seven other people in a secret nest of rooms in Amsterdam, Holland, during the era of Nazi Germany. Her diary reveals the experiences of herself and the others; it also describes her inner experiences as she attempts to grow and develop under such difficult circumstances. The reality that Anne Frank eventually lost her life in a Nazi concentration camp is a horrifying tragedy. But she lives on as a concrete example of how collectivism, once imposed, crushes the spirit (and eventually the body) of the individual soul.
