Abstract The Many Lives of Anne Frank helps to recover the voice of the historical figure, Anne Frank. It critically assesses how “Anne Frank” has been instrumentalized by a variety of individuals and groups, and explores how she continues to inspire new generations. The fact that the diary remains one of the world’s best-selling titles is testament to the talent of its young author. This biography is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how she became such a gifted writer, producing diary entries that continue to move people to this day.
