When Otto Frank unwrapped his daughter's diary with trembling hands
and began to read the first pages, he discovered a side to Anne
that was as much a revelation to him as it would be to the rest of
the world. Little did Otto know he was about to create an icon
recognised the world over for her bravery, sometimes brutal teenage
honesty and determination to see beauty even where its light was
most hidden. Nor did he realise that publication would spark a
bitter battle that would embroil him in years of legal contest and
eventually drive him to a nervous breakdown and a new life in
Switzerland. Today, more than seventy-five years after Anne's
death, the diary is at the centre of a multi-million-pound
industry, with competing foundations, cultural critics and former
friends and relatives fighting for the right to control it. In this
insightful and wide-ranging account, Karen Bartlett tells the full
story of The Diary of Anne Frank, the highly controversial part it
played in twentieth-century history, and its fundamental role in
shaping our understanding of the Holocaust. At the same time, she
sheds new light on the life and character of Otto Frank, the
complex, driven and deeply human figure who lived in the shadows of
the terrible events that robbed him of his family, while he
painstakingly crafted and controlled his daughter's story.
