 Anne Frank
Frank's diary is at once a candid self-portrait, a portrayal of domestic life, an account of people threatened with imminent death, a depiction of experiences and problems common to young adults, and an examination of universal moral issues.
The early childhood of Frank and her elder sister, Margot, was secure, loving, and comfortable, but the year of Anne's birth also marked the onset of a worldwide economic depression, a catastrophic event that affected the lives of a great number of Europeans.
After reading her diary, Otto Frank confessed, "I never knew my little Anna was so deep." Shortly after the war's end, he circulated typed copies of the diary among his friends, who quickly recognized it as a meaningful human document which should not remain a private legacy.

 The Hidden Life of Otto Frank by Carol Ann Lee | PopMatters Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Otto Frank was as complicated and paradoxical as Anne was straightforward and ingenuous.
Otto was open about the fact that his marriage to Edith Frank was a marriage of convenience from his standpoint, although she was a highly intelligent, attractive woman who was obviously in love with him.
Otto was also remarkably uninvolved with his other daughter, Margot -- so much so that he had no idea that she was keeping a diary, too, while the family was confined to their hiding place -- a diary that was unfortunately never recovered and might have yielded another perspective on this complex famous family.

Anne Frank was inspired to revise her writings by the words of Bolkestein, the Dutch Minister of Education, Art and Science in exile, in a BBC Radio broadcast of 28 March 1944.
For Frank the diary appears to have served the simultaneous roles of confidante, confessional, been a vehicle for her pubescent concerns and fantasies ("Countless admirers and lovable young men have begged for my favours" 12 March 1944, Version a, omitted) as well as substituted for the circle of friends from which she had been separated.
