ANNE FRANK
By: Catarina Assmuth
HOW SHE BECAME FAMOUS
Her father Otto Frank (the only survivor) found her diary. It was
published and became a very famous book
She wrote a journal about world war two -- She kept a detailed account
of the happenings during the Holocaust that was later published.
Anne’s diary is also very well written for a thirteen year old girl. Some
even consider it literature. Many identify with her diary. It’s fascinating
to read because it shows the war as it really was. Because we know
what happened to Anne and her family it also makes the diary somewhat
tragic.
People used the diary to teach younger students about the holocaust.
INTERESTING FACTS
The “diary” Anne received for her 13th birthday was actually an autograph book.
In nearly every published version of Anne Frank's diary, each diary entry begins with "Dear Kitty." However, this was not always true in Anne's original written diary.
• Since Anne was a prolific writer, she had to use several notebooks to hold all of her diary entries. In addition to the red-and-white-checkered notebook, two other notebooks have been found. The first of these was an exercise book that contained Anne's diary entries from December 22, 1943 to April 17, 1944. The second was another exercise book that covered from April 17, 1944 until right before her arrest. If you look carefully at the dates, you will notice that the notebook that must have contained Anne's diary entries for most of 1943 is missing.
