Anne Frank's works include the red-and-white autograph book where she wrote her first diary entries in June 1942, before the family went into hiding in July. That book is on display at the museum now.

In addition, Frank used two school exercise books as diaries once the autograph book was full.

There is also a small ledger from her father's office she filled with quotes she liked from books she had read; and an account book she used to write short stories in.

Finally, there are 360 loose sheets of paper that she used to rewrite the diaries when it became apparent that Germany was losing the war and she began to dream that the occupation of the Netherlands would end and her diary might one day be published.

"I know that I can write, a couple of my stories are good ... there's a lot in my diary that speaks, but whether I have real talent remains to be seen," she wrote on April 4, 1944.

The family's hiding place was betrayed and they were arrested by German police in August 1944. Anne died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp just weeks before it was liberated in the spring of 1945.
