UNESCO, the cultural preservation section of the United Nations, has recognized Anne Frank's diary and other writings (the quotations book and the Tales from the Secret Annex) as documents of exceptional cultural importance and has recently added them to its register of World Heritage documents.
More information from the Anne Frank House: http://www.annefrank.org/content.asp?PID=916&LID=2 -------------------- "Was Anne right? Is what she has told us [through her diary] so unbelievable? Or is it not more unbelievable that we have had to learn from a child how people [in hiding] lived, talked, and ate, what a human being is like and how a human being develops, and that a child was killed while we all lived and talked and ate? That child, and six of the seven persons who were in hiding with her, and another six million in addition. And we knew it, but were silent, or knew it but did not believe what we knew, and now we go on living and eating and talking.
Is that not more unbelievable?" -- Ernst Schnabel, Anne Frank: A Portrait in Courage |
