Investigates the facts and controversies that surround the global phenomenon of Anne Frank. Highlights the ways in which Frank's life and ultimate fate have been represented, interpreted, and exploited. Follows the evolution of her diary into a book (with translations into nearly 60 languages and editions that added previously unknown material), an American play, and a movie. As Barnouw asks, "Who owns Anne Frank?" he follows her emergence as a global phenomenon and what this means for her historical persona as well as for her legacy as a symbol of the Holocaust
