Anne was a German-Dutch diarist of Jewish origin. Anne gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl, in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world’s best-known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. Frank aspired to become a journalist.
In June 1999, Time magazine published a special edition titled “Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century”. Anne Frank was selected as one of the “Heroes & Icons”. Roger Rosenblatt, described her legacy with the comment, “The passions the book ignites suggest that everyone owns Anne Frank, that she has risen above the Holocaust, Judaism, girlhood and even goodness and become a totemic figure of the modern world—the moral individual mind beset by the machinery of destruction, insisting on the right to live and question and hope for the future of human beings.”
He notes that while her courage and pragmatism are admired, her ability to analyse herself and the quality of her writing are the key components of her appeal. He writes, “The reason for her immortality was basically literary. She was an extraordinarily good writer, for any age, and the quality of her work seemed a direct result of a ruthlessly honest disposition.
Anne Frank died in the concentration camp in 1945.
