The play "The Diary of Anne Frank" is a fictionalized account of Anne's diary. The movies - there have been several - take the ficitional account and add a lot of "Hollywood". There have been two excellent biographies written of Anne, one by Melissa Muller, and one by Carol Anne Lee. Those two books - and the critical edition of Anne's diary - give a much more accurate picture of Anne, her life and her times than the stage play or any of the movies.
The Diary of a young girl is Anne Frank's real diary. The last time Anne wrote in her diary was 1 August 1944 and the family was betrayed on 4 August 1944. Anne had no idea that they were going to be betrayed so, she wouldn't have been able to write it in her diary. Outside the diary, the one who informed the German police about them is still unknown and probably always will be.
Anne Frank's diary, "The Diary of a Young Girl," has been translated into over 70 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese. It has been a widely read and translated book around the world since its original publication in 1947.
