Meet the Author of ‘The Phenomenon of Anne Frank’
While in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anne Frank wrote what has become the world's most famous diary. After her words were published in 1947 as The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne soon emerged as an international phenomenon and symbol of the Holocaust. More than 30 million copies of her diary have been printed in more than 70 languages, and it has been adapted into a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play and an Academy Award-winning film. Jeremy Collins, Senior Director of Programs at The National WWII Museum’s Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, interviews renowned Dutch scholar David Barnouw, author of The Phenomenon of Anne Frank, which follows Anne’s emergence as a global icon, the ways in which her life and fate have been represented, interpreted, and exploited, and what it means for her legacy as a symbol of the Holocaust.
