उत्तर
No, Anne was not right when she thought that people would not be interested in the thoughts of a thirteen-year-old girl. Her diary was later published as ‘The Diary of a Young Girl.’ It was translated into many languages and became one of the most famous books in the world. It was also made into films, television shows, plays, and an opera. People admired Anne’s diary for its maturity and deep understanding. It gives a touching account of life during the Nazi rule and made Anne Frank one of the most well-known victims of the Holocaust.
