From her secret hiding place in wartime Amsterdam, the Jewish
teenager Anne Frank wrote heart-wrenchingly about the terrors of a
captivity that would ultimately end with her death at the hands of
the Nazis. In her world-famous diaries, she described with
remarkable honesty her transition from childhood to a deep
thinking, opinionated and passionate teenager. The life she longed
to live, during which she would help to create a more caring world,
was tragically not to be. In August 1944, she and her family were
captured and deported to Auschwitz. Two years after her death from
starvation and disease in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, her
diary was published. It quickly became an international sensation,
going on to influence hearts and minds for over seventy years.
Although many books and literary analyses have been written about
Anne Frank's life and diary, none have explored the surprising
influence she has had on young people in countries all over the
world, helping to shape their moral framework and giving them
critical life skills. This is due in part to the merits of a
travelling exhibition created by the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam
in 1985 which has so far been seen by over 9 million people. The
Anne Frank exhibition, along with its innovative educational and
cultural activities, has circumnavigated the globe many times. In
this fascinating study, Gillian Walnes Perry explores the various
legacies of Anne Frank's influence. She looks at the complex life
of Anne Frank's father and the motivations that powered his
educational philosophy. She shares new insights into the real Anne
Frank, personally gifted by those who actually knew her. Global
icons such as Nelson Mandela and Audrey Hepburn relate the
influence that Anne Frank had on shaping their own lives. This book
presents - all in one place and for the very first time - the
inspirational stories of a diverse variety of people from all over
the world, brought together by the words of one particularly
articulate and inspiring teenage victim of the Holocaust.
