HOLLAND: Personal snapshots of Anne Frank's family will go on show in Amsterdam and Berlin this week to mark the 75th anniversary of the birth of the Jewish teenage diarist killed in the Holocaust.

The Diary of Anne Frank, in which she describes her family's two years in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, is the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.

Anne Frank, whose diary has been translated into dozens of languages and sold 30 million copies, died in a concentration camp after her hiding place was discovered.

Some 60 black and white photographs - mostly taken by her father Otto - will go on display on Friday.
