The Complicated History Of Anne Frank's Diary

Most students have read The Diary of Anne Frank; it's a bestseller and important part of history. Whether it's viewed as a reminder of the Holocaust or as the remarkable writings of a budding literary talent, the story behind Anne Frank's diary is full of controversy, some of which is still unfolding. In 2022, for example, researchers announced they might have discovered who betrayed Anne Frank's family to authorities: Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh. In her diaries, Anne includes facts about her birth in Germany in 1929, details about her family's move to Amsterdam as Hitler came to power, and reflections on hiding with seven other people in a secret annex.
