More than any other work of literature, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl helped the world comprehend the tragedy of the Holocaust. Anne’s diary now merits revisiting — not just as an inspiring tale of a girl coming of age under unimaginable circumstances, but as a siren alerting us to the malevolent potential of antisemitism anywhere.

Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein hosts a discussion on the legacy of Anne Frank and her best-selling diary, which has been published in more than 70 languages. Panelists include Ruth Franklin, author of the biography The Many Lives of Anne Frank, and Professor Doyle Stevick, executive director of the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina and educational adviser to Anne Frank The Exhibition, which recreates the annex where Anne and her family hid in Amsterdam.
