There were eight people and they were held from June 1942 to August 1944, the date they were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
In that place and in the most precarious conditions, Ana, at that time a thirteen-year-old girl, wrote her shocking Diary: a unique testimony in its genre about Nazi horror and barbarism, and about Ana's own feelings and experiences. and his companions.
