While Anne Frank was in hiding during the German Occupation of the
Netherlands, she wrote what has become the world's most famous
diary. But how could an unknown Jewish girl from Amsterdam be
transformed into an international icon? Renowned Dutch scholar
David Barnouw investigates the facts and controversies that
surround the global phenomenon of Anne Frank. Barnouw highlights
the ways in which Frank's life and ultimate fate have been
represented, interpreted, and exploited. He follows the evolution
of her diary into a book (with translations into nearly 60
languages and editions that added previously unknown material), an
American play, and a movie. As he asks, "Who owns Anne Frank?"
Barnouw follows her emergence as a global phenomenon and what this
means for her historical persona as well as for her legacy as a
symbol of the Holocaust.
