Various contributors reflect on Anne Frank, her life, reputation, and multiple interpretations of the legacy she left. "Here in a concise, readable volume are two dozen articles and memoirs most relevant for understanding her life, death, and legacy. Philip Roth, Lawrence Graver, Bruno Bettelheim, Simon Wiesenthal, John Berryman, and other contributors assess Anne Frank's qualities as a writer and scrutinize the proliferating controversies about her reputation, especially the way the stage and film adaptations have altered perceptions of her life and her diary."
