Vijf jaar na de eerste uitgave in Nederland komt in 1952 Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl op de markt in een bescheiden oplage van 5.000 exemplaren. Na een enthousiaste recensie door schrijver Meyer Levin in de The New York Times Book Review[1] begon de verkoop van het boek te lopen. Er kwam snel een tweede oplage van 15.000 exemplaren en een paar dagen later zelfs een derde druk van 45.000. In korte tijd beleefde het dagboek druk na druk en hadden miljoenen Amerikanen het boek gelezen.
