The Diary of a Young Girl
One of the most famous modern diaries, widely read and translated, is the posthumously published "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank, who wrote it while in hiding during the German occupation of Amsterdam in the 1940s. Otto Frank edited his daughter's diary and arranged for its publication after the War. Many edits were made before the diary was published in other countries. This was due to sexually explicit material, which also led to some libraries banning the book.
