I just read The Diary of Anne Frank and there was no mention of a secret annex or WW2, which is what I was interested in. Did I get the wrong version or something?

I have it on my shelf right now and my version definitely mentions WW2 quite a few times and the words 'Secret Annex' were on what felt like every other page.

Go to the entry for June 6, 1944, if that doesn't mention D-Day then you have something weird.

I made a stupid mistake and read "A Young Girl's Diary by Grete Lainer" by accident, even though the ebook had the Anne Frank cover. Doh!

I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune but that is hilarious 😂

Last night I was at 90% and I was like wow they still haven't got to the attic part. :)

You accidentally read the fake Freud diary instead of Anne frank? Beautiful

Yes, but it had Anne Frank's book cover. I got about 1/4 through and got suspicious because we still haven't met Anne or seen the attic, or even mentioned WW2
