She was one of the first female members of the Weimar National Assembly. She was a pioneer within German welfare and workers security' (Wiki). 'The book was first published in Holland in 1947, just over five years after Anne's thirteenth birthday, the day she was given her diary. The Dutch edition receives positive reviews. It says, among other things: 'a war document of aptly detailed' or 'parents and educators are strongly advised to read this diary.' The first edition (3,036 copies) was followed in December 1947 by the second (6,830) and in February 1948 by the third edition (10,500 copies). The diary's success in the Netherlands gave Anne's father, Otto Frank the courage to look for publication opportunities in other countries' (Anne Frank archive). The German and French editions were first published in 1950, two years before the book was first published in English. A very sharp copy and a scarce survivor with JSIC listing only 4 institutions holding copies. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…
