Abstract

"Collected here are letters and photographs representing the most poignant and meaningful responses Otto Frank has received since the publication of his daughter's remarkable work. Her moving portrait of the suffering and deprivation of war and of the indomitable human spirit that transcends every hardship...[has elicited responses] universal in scope: works of art dedicated to her memory, articles examining the achievement and importance of her work, and personal letters- most of them previously unpublished- from national leaders and ordinary citizens of virtually every country on earth"--from front jacket flap.
