Review:

"An important publication and a must for every library." -- Choice "Belongs on your bedside table. We need to remember, we need to discuss, we need to forever keep sight of the tragic message that Anne's life and diary have engraved upon our hearts and minds." - April M. Leo, The Bloomsbury Review "The first section includes incredibly moving, but relatively straightforward accounts of Anne Frank's life. The other three sections, though, address more complex questions - how to interpret Anne Frank as a writer, as a character in theater and film depictions, and as a symbol of the Holocaust itself. Strong consensus exists on the power of the diary, which is described by various authors as the source of truths about humanity, as 'an intimate account of adolescence,' and as a window into the soul of a 'young, eager, difficult, lovable self' whose diary tells the story of 'her growth as an artist." - H-Women, H-Net Reviews "A superb collection of essays, reviews, and considerations of the legacy of an amazing young woman and her powerful diary... A wonderful resource... Highly recommended for anyone who teaches the Holocaust." -- Rabbi Deborah Zecher, Multicultural Review ADVANCE PRAISE: "I gladly endorse Anne Frank: Reflections on Her Life and Legacy. [The authors] have composed a book showing the importance of Anne Frank's role in today's world by using an unusually wide range of documents, diaries, reviews, and presentations. This remarkable book should be widely read and used, especially wherever the Holocaust in general, and Anne Frank's story in particular, are taught." - Jack Polak, Dutch holocaust survivor (Bergen-Belsen) and Chairman- Emeritus, Anne Frank Center U.S.A. "An exceptionally valuable collection of documents and essays on Anne Frank's life, death, and legendary afterlife. It is the most comprehensive volume I know of about a subject of great importance and enduring interest." - Lawrence Graver, author of An Obsession with Anne Frank: Meyer Levin and the Diary "This useful and varied collection conveniently assembles all the materials pertinent to Anne Frank's emergence as a cultural icon. Readers familiar with the diary will welcome the historical documentation of her life before and after the events she recorded." - Michael Shapiro, director of the Drobny Program in Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
