By Anne Frank, translated by Te Haumihiata Mason ONZM (NgāiTūhoe, TeArawa, NgātiPango)
The world-famous Diary of a Young Girl was written by a German Jewish teenager hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during WWII.
Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit. More than 30 million copies have been sold and it has been translated into over 70 languages, including into te reo Māori.
Anne Frank and her family, along with four other Jews, hid in the back of her father's Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne’s record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the “Secret Annex." Tragically they were all found in August 1944 and transported to concentration and extermination camps, from which only Anne's father Otto was to survive.
This iconic book of a young girl's diary chronicling her family’s struggle to survive Nazi-occupied Europe continues to be as relevant as ever to new generations of readers.

"First was to fully understand her thoughts, secondly for my translations to not be stronger than her text and that was a significant for me- and to grasp the true essence of what she says, it wasn't always an easy task."
Mason hopes many rangatahi will learn about discrimination and gain an understanding of the short but impactful life that Frank lived.
"The whole focus of these translations was our youth, I hope that they do read it, I hope it transports them back in time so that they may get a sense of who the girl was so they may understand the sadness that the Jewish people had to endure."
Mason believes Anne Frank shall remain forever young but her words- in whatever language it may be- will live in on.
