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.

  • Sleepy Joe
    4.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing, exhaustively researched account of the evolution of Frank's diary.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018
    A free DRC was provided by Edelweiss for an honest and fair review.

    David Barnouw , a widely recognised authority on Anne Frank and her diaries had put together a solid account of how Frank's diary grew into the established classic representing one individual Jew's experience in the Holocaust. Many contributed to its many iterations from constantly revised editions, stage adaptations, film and television treatments, and many continue to debate the authenticity, cultural and financial ownership of Frank's legacy.

    The book discusses the long and often contentious evolution of the definitve version of The Diary of Anne Frank, the stage adaptations, and the film and television treatments. The attacks on the authenticity and literary value of the diaries, the appropriation of Anne Frank by different groups claiming her life and legacy for their own propoganda, and the work's future are pondered. Barnouw considers the impact of poor translations, pre-determined ideas about Anne, her family, the war and anti-Semitism and how from the first edition of the diary, Anne was fated to be misunderstood and used by a well-intentioned, often adoring, but sometimes ignorant, misguided or prejudiced audience.

    A devotee of Frank's cult will find the book fascination but a more detached reader will also find the author's obsessions yet another example of how Frank's legacy continues to be plumbed, to the point of losing contact with the primary source, Anne's unique, strong and endlessly interesting authorial voice. The heart of Barnouw's book is his enduring outrage at the forces of racism, facism and indifference that snuffed out not just a budding writer, a Jew or even a child, but that sought to eradicate all the cultural forces that made her what she was. At the end of the book, the reader, perhaps rightly, must ask again, who was Anne Frank?
