THE U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the exhibit “Anne Frank the Writer: An Unfinished Story.” It’s a moving testament to Anne’s literary talents, which go far beyond her famous diary. Some of the featured writings, what Anne liked to call her “pen-children,” have never been displayed; none of the writings have been shown before outside the Netherlands. The exhibit features three of Anne’s original notebooks and hundreds of loose pages from the edited diary she dubbed “Kitty.” (The original red-plaid diary, which would be just the first of three volumes, remains on permanent display at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.) Visitors are treated to a fairytale named “Eva’s Dream,” essays, and short stories. Another notebook, titled “Anne’s Book of Nice Sentences,” is filled with quotations from her literary idols–Shakespeare, John Galsworthy, Goethe–as well as sentences from the biographies of Florence Nightingale and Peter Paul Rubens. There’s an original photo album enclosed in glass as well as enlarged, reproduced photos of the girl.

A 1996 video interview with Miep Gies, the woman who brought the Frank family supplies and news from the outside world, plays on three television screens in the hallways. Gies speaks of how she kept Anne’s writings before turning them over to Anne’s father, Otto, on the fateful day he discovered that his daughters Anne and Margot had perished at Bergen-Belsen.
