A comic book on Anne Frank is shown at the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The museum launched a graphic novel version of Anne Frank's biography on Friday, hoping to bring the story of the teenage Jewish diarist and her death in a Nazi concentration camp to a wider audience. Spokeswoman Annemarie Bekker said the publication is aimed at teenagers who might not otherwise read Anne Frank's diary, already the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.
