Of all the memoirs that convey the human devastation of Hitler's Final Solution, Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" is by far the most popular and influential.

My kindle reader on windows 8 wasn't working correctly, but he sent me a PDF version of the ebook upon receiving my email, and it was better than what was shown in the kindle version.
