= Very rare second edition (first edition was printed in June the same year) with the rare dustjacket of the same design as the first, here with the lettering in blue and with the hardly ever found original wrap-around slip completely preserved, also made of blue paper.
Anne Frank began her diary on her 13th birthday, 12 June 1942 during the nazi-occupation of The Netherlands, while she was hiding underground in Amsterdam. The diary was found in the hiding place "Het Achterhuis" by Miep Gies after Anne, her family and many other other Jews had been transported to the nazi-concentraton camp. Miep Gies was one of the helpers during the family's hiding in the secret annexe "the Achterhuis". She returned the diary to Anne's father Otto Frank, who was the only survivor of the hiding group. Otto found a publisher for the diary and it remains a classic or world literature today. Anne died in March 1945 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
The dustjacket lacks spine section, both front- and backwrappers preserved with blurb; frontpanel of dustjacket lacks a portion in upper left corner with the name "Anne" ; the wrap-around slip preserved in two parts.
