The story of Anne Frank's world-famous diary, which has not yet been told, closes a gap in the narrative about Anne Frank Anne Frank dreamed of one day becoming a famous writer. Her father Otto Frank, who was the only family member to survive the war, wanted to fulfil his daughter's wish and made the dissemination of Anne's diary his life's purpose. In 1947, Het Achterhuis was published in the Netherlands, and in 1950 the first German edition was published. Today, the diary is one of the most widely read books in the world; the impact it has had since the post-war period is incomparable and unbroken.

Thomas Sparr knowledgeably deciphers how it came into being, how it was spread, how it is received all over the world and why it still does not let us go today. New product
