Unpacked
Anne Frank's diary has become a universal symbol of the Holocaust, yet it's critical to examine why her story gained such global prominence.

While millions resonate with her narrative of hope, her diary’s global reach also raises questions about how it’s shaped and presented, often omitting complex realities of historical complicity and suffering.
