My favorite book

 I read books often. It gives my mind freedom and relief. I read novels, translations, fiction, short stories and any other book. I have read a large number of books so far. One of my favorite books is Anne Frank's Diary of a Girl.

Anne Frank, a Jew who lived in Holland during World War II, hides in a secret annex with other members of her family for about two years. She wrote in a diary of her experiences, what she heard and saw, and her feelings during that time.

Anne Frank and eight others in hiding were captured by Hitler's Nazi forces on August 4, 1944. Anne and her sister Mago, who had lived in various concentration camps for about a year, died of typhoid fever in March 1945 at the Bergen-Benzel camp.

Anne's diary was accidentally found in a secret annexe. This diary, which reveals the bitterness of war, was published in 1947 as The Diary of a young girl Anne Frank.

This book was translated into Sinhala by Thomson A. Wandabona. He published the book 'Anne Frank' as a Girl's Diary. Copyright is owned by Sarasavi Publishers.

Tears well up in my eyes when I read this book, which clearly shows the bitterness of the war.
