FRANK, Anne (1929-1945). [Diary of Anne Frank.] Het Achterhuis: Dagboekbrievan van 12 Juni 1942-1 Augustus 1944. Amsterdam: Uitgeverij Contact, 1947. First edition, first printing, in a lovely example of the scarce dust jacket. In 1933, after the Nazi party came to power, the Frank family moved from Frankfurt to Amsterdam where Anne and her older sister Margot attended school until Germany invaded the Netherlands in May 1940. When transports from the Westerbork transit camp to Auschwitz began in July 1942, the Franks went into hiding with the van Pels family. Anne's diary, a gift for her 13th birthday, was kept for two years, from June 1942 to August 1944 in nearly daily entries, and describes her life hiding in the Amsterdam attic. It ends abruptly on 4 August 1944 when they were discovered. Her account was published posthumously by her father, Otto Frank, and initially received comparatively little attention. The 1952 American edition, however, included a foreword by Eleanor Roosevelt and was followed by an eponymous Broadway play. In the years since it has become one of the most enduring voices of the Holocaust, though early editions were edited to omit discussions of Anne’s physical maturation, her feelings for Peter van Pels, family squabbles, and anti-German sentiment. Upon his death in 1980 Otto Frank left the physical diary to the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation, at which time it underwent laboratory testing by the Dutch government to confirm its authenticity and a definitive, unexpurgated edition was finally published in 1986. Octavo (180 x 100mm). In Dutch. Half-title, frontispiece photographic portrait. Original printed paper boards (some toning to covers and spine, as usual). Printed dust jacket, with the author's name in yellow (a little shallow chipping to head of spine panel, rear panel separating but strenghtened on verso with tape along rear joint as well as flap edges). Custom half morocco box.
