THE GIRL WHO WAS ANNE FRANK

the director of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation told of Anne Frank’s life before she and her family went into hiding, adding often-overlooked context to her famous diary. Her father, Otto Frank, didn’t want it published, but when friends pointed out that his daughter had wanted to publish a book about the annex, he agreed. “Oh, Mr. Frank,” wrote one American girl, “she is so much like me that sometimes I do not know where myself begins and Anne Frank ends.”
