About This Novel
On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank started writing a diary. In 1944, Minister Bockstein, a member of the Dutch government-in-exile, announced that he hoped to collect relevant first-hand information after the war to witness the suffering of the Dutch people under the German occupation. He specifically mentioned letters and diaries. After hearing the news, Anne decided to publish a book based on her diary after the war. So she began to rewrite and revise the diary, polishing the text, deleting passages that were not interesting enough, and adding some content from memory. At the same time, she also kept her original diary. In the academically valuable "The Diary of Anne Frank: An Annotated Edition" (1989), Anne's first, unedited diary is called Version A to distinguish her second, revised diary (Version B).
