To mark the 50th anniversary of The Anne Frank House, the entire collection of the young girl’s writings, which include the famed diary, a book of short stories she wrote titled "Tales from the Secret Annex," and a notebook of her favorite quotations is on display together, for the first time.
After Anne’s death in a concentration camp in 1944 at age 15, her father, honoring her wish, published the diary she kept while she and her family hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust. About its publication, he said:
“I hope Anne's book will have an effect on the rest of your life so that insofar as it is possible in your own circumstances, you will work for unity and peace.”
Beginning today, people can also take a virtual tour of the secret annex where Anne and her family hid for more than two years.
