Images from the Life and Diary of Anne Frank

At the end of the Second World War, Otto Frank, Anne's father and the only surviving family member returned to Amsterdam. Miep Gies and Elli('bep') Voskuijl, who had protected and sustained the group hiding in the 'Secret Annex', presented Mr. Frank with notebooks and papers in Anne's handwriting that had been rejected by the Gestapo when they arrested the families.

Otto Frank circulated copies of Anne's diary to friends as a memorial to his wife and daughters. He was urged to make it public and finally published an edited version in 1947. Since then, it has been translated into more than thirty languages and adapted for theater, film and television. 

Scholarly investigations into the life and work of Anne Frank continue this day under the auspices of the Anne Frank Foundation in Amsterdam. The following pages contain supplemental material to enrich readers' understanding of this remarkable young woman and the portrait of courage that is her legacy.
