I had this feeling when I first started on Ruth Franklin’s “The Many Lives of Anne Frank,” and by the time I finished reading, this feeling was confirmed. This is a book that should be read ...

Anne Frank’s diary quickly found fame beyond the Netherlands’ borders. The book was published in France in 1949, then in her home country of Germany in 1950 and in the US in 1952.

For the first time, a re-creation of the annex where Anne Frank and her family hid is available outside of Amsterdam. Visitors in New York said its themes reverberated in today's political climate.
