What Inspires Us When We Are Inspired by Anne Frank? Different Perspectives on the Diary of a Young Girl as a Moral Compass Presentation by Ronald Leopold, Director of the Anne Frank House, Amsterdam Introduction by Jeroen Dewulf, Queen Beatrix Professor in Dutch Studies Since its publication in 1947, the diary of Anne Frank has inspired millions of people all around the world. But inspired them to what exactly? A brief look at the history of how the diary has been received over the past 65 years reveals that we can better reverse the question: what has it not inspired? From teenagers coming of age to the campaign against whaling, from development aid for girls in Nepal to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa: Anne is everywhere. Should we not offer Anne Frank some form of protection against over-enthusiastic use as a source of inspiration? Or should we in fact promote it, for the sake of better people and a better world?
