GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

Though she chronicled extraordinary and horrible circumstances, Anne Frank was at heart a writer, and under happier circumstances would have continued to write tales from her life and imaginary lives. The book “Anne Frank’s Tales from the Secret Annex” contains short stories and reminiscences which illustrate the ongoing practice of her writing skills. Now an exhibit at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will display notebooks and papers of Anne’s writing. Director Sara Bloomfield succeeded in tricky negotiations to allow these works to be part of the 10th anniversary of the museum’s opening. The small, but significant set of papers rescued from the Secret Annex that will be on display include three of her original notebooks, the third volume of her diary, loose pages from her edited diary, and her photo album.
