The Diary of Anne Frank in Farsi
Introduction by Sam Sloan
The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most famous books ever written.
It is consistently ranked among the top ten books in the 20th Century.
It has been published in more than 60 languages. Time magazine
included Anne Frank on their list of The Most Important People of the
Century.
During World War II, Holland was overrun and occupied by Nazi Germany.
Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Few of them
survived. When Anne Frank's sister received an order to report to the
railroad station for deportation, the family went into hiding. They
hid in the sealed-off upper rooms of the annex of her father's office
building in Amsterdam. The sealed-off upper-rooms contained a hidden
door which the Franks would hide in during the times when Nazi
soldiers were investigating the buildings for harbored Jews. Food was
brought to them by trusted employees of Otto Frank's company, which
continued to operate during and even after the war. They remained
hidden for two years and one month, until their betrayal in August
1944, which resulted in their deportation to Nazi concentration camps.
Only Anne's father, Otto Frank, survived the war.
Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929. Her diary starts on 14 June 1942,
just after her 13th birthday. It ends on 17 April 1944. She died in a
concentration camp in March 1945, just before she would have turned 16
and only two weeks before she would have been liberated by British
troops.
The latter parts of the diary indicate that Anne was no longer writing
it just for herself and was hoping to have it published. She wrote
that she wanted to become a writer. As a result, her father, Otto, who
had survived the war, sought to have it published. The first several
publishers rejected it for publication. A publisher was finally found
who agreed to to publish it, providing that certain objectionable
passages were removed. For this and other reasons, substantial parts
were left out of the initial publication. These included references to
arguments Anne had had with her mother, her jealousy of her elder
sister, her growing sexuality and her attraction to a boy who was
confined with her. Although all of these are normal developments for a
growing teenaged girl, Otto Frank felt they should be left out of the
published book.
The exclusion of these parts has caused controversy. There have been
several translations, each claiming to have been the full and complete
translation, yet differing with each other.
In 2005 a new edition entitled, “"The Diary of a Young Girl: the
Definitive Edition," was published on the 50th anniversary of Frank's
death in a concentration camp. It included sexually explicit material
and homosexual themes that had been left out of other editions. Some
of the extra passages detail her emerging sexual desires; others
include unflattering descriptions of her mother and other people
living together. The result was that the book was banned by the
Culpeper County, Virginia Public Schools. This was just the most
recent instance of many efforts that have been made to ban this book.
As soon as the book was first published in 1947, it was challenged by
Holocaust Deniers. After Otto Frank died in 1980, the original diary
was subjected to a forensic document analysis by the Netherlands
Institute for War Documentation. This examination proved that the
paper, the ink, the glue, the historical record of the events
described in the diary, the known handwriting of Anne Frank from
before the war and photographs of Anne Frank from before the war were
all consistent and thus the diary was authentic.
Nazi-Hunter Simon Wiesenthal did a search for Karl Silberbauer, the
man who had arrested Anne Frank and the Frank Family in 1944. He was
located in October 1963 and found still to be a police officer. He
remembered the arrest and admitted his involvement. After an
investigation, he was reinstated in the police force.
Miep Gies, who brought the Frank Family food and was the primary
person who kept them hidden, died in 2010 after publishing a book,
Anne Frank Remembered, answering many questions about how she was able
to do this.
