The World of Anne Frank - Softcover

In the spring of 1945, 15-year-old Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. In 1947, Otto Frank published his daughter’s diary. To date, The Diary of a Young Girl has appeared in more than 50 different editions and has sold more than 20 million copies.

This photo essay is an invaluable resource for readers of Anne’s diary. It offers a portrait of the Frank family, including many never-before-published photographs. And it also provides an account of the events between 1929 and 1945 that forced the Franks into hiding and resulted in their discovery and imprisonment in concentration camps. With more than 250 photographs, this book helps readers to see what Anne saw and brings the turbulent events that shaped her world into sharper focus.

The Anne Frank Stichting is heir to all photographic and personal material relating to Anne Frank and her family. It runs the famous Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and is in a unique position to compile a history of this kind. For many years the catalogue on which this book is based was used to accompany the Anne Frank in the World exhibition which travelled the globe, highlighting the ever-present dangers of racism today.
