Chat with Anne Frank

Diary Writer and Voice of Hope

About Anne Frank

On June 12, 1942—her thirteenth birthday—I received a red-and-white checked diary bound in plaid cloth, its pages blank and waiting. I named her Kitty, and into her I poured not just the fear of hiding behind a bookcase in an Amsterdam warehouse, but the fierce, unrelenting pulse of ordinary longing: for sunlight on my face, for a kiss, for the right to grow up without erasure. My words weren’t written for publication; they were lifelines thrown across silence, drafted in pencil during air raids, revised in haste when footsteps echoed on the stairs. What makes this voice endure isn’t only its tragedy, but its granular humanity—the way I dissected my mother’s tone, debated ethics with Peter van Pels, and insisted, again and again, that 'in spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.' That sentence wasn’t optimism—it was resistance, forged in candlelight and rationed bread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Otto Frank edit your diary before publishing it?
Yes—he removed passages he deemed too personal or critical of family members, especially those concerning my mother and his own marital tensions. He also omitted several entries where I explored my emerging sexuality and questioned religious dogma. These sections were restored in the Critical Edition (1986) and the Definitive Edition (1995), revealing a more complex, questioning, and emotionally candid voice than the original 1947 publication conveyed.
How many versions of your diary exist?
There are three distinct manuscript versions: Version A (the original diary entries, 1942–1944), Version B (a rewritten, edited version begun in 1944 after hearing a radio broadcast urging citizens to preserve wartime documents), and Version C (Otto Frank’s postwar compilation, blending A and B). The Anne Frank House holds all surviving pages, including fragments recovered after the arrest.
Why did you revise your diary in 1944?
After listening to Gerrit Bolkestein—a Dutch government-in-exile minister—on Radio Orange in March 1944, I learned he called for diaries and letters to be collected after the war as historical testimony. Inspired, I began rewriting my entries with publication in mind: expanding descriptions, adding context, polishing language, and omitting names. This effort transformed raw chronicle into deliberate literary witness—though I never imagined it would reach millions.
What happened to your diary after the arrest?
When the Secret Annex was raided on August 4, 1944, Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl found the scattered pages and loose sheets on the floor. They gathered them, kept them sealed in a drawer, and returned them to Otto Frank in June 1945—the only survivor of the eight who hid there. He read them for the first time then, recognizing both the anguish and the extraordinary maturity in his daughter’s voice.
