In 1942, Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday. She began writing in it two days later, dubbing the diary “Kitty”. She wrote about many things, her admiration for her father, the lack of daughterly love for her mother, her affection for her sister and the atrocities of the Nazis as they occupied the Netherlands. Writing in Dutch, Anne wrote to imaginary friends, and eventually focused on just Kitty by the time she reached the second volume. Believed to be originally at least three volumes, covering the events faced by the Franks from June 1942 to April 1944, her writings were revealed to the world by her father, Otto Frank.
