This composite photograph of Anne Frank in 1939 shows the celebrated diarist only six years prior to her death in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsin concentration camp at the age of 15. Frank's diary was published posthumously in 1947 and would go on to become one of the most-read accounts of her daily life in the attic of a home in Amsterdam, hiding from her oppressors and detailing the conditions of a German-occupied Netherlands. Her diary was first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl and has been translated into over seventy languages and become one of the most iconic written pieces from the era.

Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany though her family moved to Amsterdam when she was four and a half years old. Frank received her diary as a birthday present, and her Father discovered that it had been preserved by secretaries working in the building in which they had been hiding prior to their arrest in 1944 and chose to publish her diary as a tribute to his daughter's desire to be a writer. Frank's diary remains a consequential reminder of the lives that were lost during the Holocaust and the impact this had on generations to come.

This photograph remains an iconic image that connects the viewer to the past. Frank aspired to be a journalist, and her writing style and observations provide a remarkable glimpse into her family's experience while hiding from Nazi forces that continues to be relevant today.
