The original diary took time to get published, as her father, who survived Auschwitz when his wife and two daughters did not, urged people to read passages.

Anne was only 15 when she died in Bergen-Belsen, and her diary has been published in dozens of languages, a symbol of survival of the spirit. It’s been turned into a Broadway play, films, a ballet. Now a graphic novel.
