The literature lovers of the city had an overwhelming session in the Continue to Turn Pages Read Aloud Session.
The Session was organised on Sunday at Chinar Park.
The session was organised by Learner’ Parco Bhopal. It is a youth led group of Literature lovers. The participants read the book ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ by Anne Frank.
The Diary of a Young Girl, also known as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book of the writings from the Dutch language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944, and Anne Frank died of typhusin the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.
The diary was retrieved by Miep Gies, who gave it to Anne's father, Otto Frank, the family's only known survivor, just after the war was over. The diary has since been published in more than 60 languages.
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anne Frank received a blank diary as one of her presents on June 12, 1942, her 13th birthday.
According to the Anne Frank House, the red, checkered autograph book which Anne used as her diary was actually not a surprise, since she had chosen it the day before with her father when browsing a bookstore near her home. She began to write in it on June 14, 1942, two days later.
