Anne's last entry was written on Tuesday 1 August 1944. It reads: Dearest Kitty, "A bundle of contradictions" was the end of my previous letter and is the beginning of this one.
For decades suspicion centred on a man called Willem Van Maaren, who worked in the warehouse attached to the Franks' hiding place. But two police investigations - one immediately after the war and another in the 1960s - turned up nothing and Van Maaren died in 1971 professing his innocence.

Anne Frank, legally, did not write The Diary of Anne Frank by herself. The Anne Frank Foundation—which owns the diary's copyright—now claims that Otto Frank, Anne's father who edited the diary after his daughter's death, is a co-author (paywall).
Anne Frank writes her last diary entry. Anne Frank, the young Jewish girl hiding out in Nazi-occupied Holland whose diary came to serve as a symbol of the Holocaust, writes her final entry three days before she and her family are arrested and placed in concentration camps.
In a once-in-a-lifetime bid for Rendell, the 72-year old museum founder paid $50,000 for a German edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales that belonged to Anne Frank, who inscribed her name and that of her sister, Margot, on a page inside.

What language did Anne Frank speak?
Miep Gies found the Amsterdam schoolgirl's diary after the Nazis arrested the Frank family in Amsterdam in 1944. She said she stored them in her desk in order to give them back to Anne at the end of the war.
Kitty was the fictional character Anne eventually addressed all her diary letters to. The name Kitty came from a series of books Anne had read, by Dutch author Cissy van Marxveldt. These books were about Joop, a girl who had all kinds of adventures with her group of friends.
Anne wrote in Dutch. On occasion, she used German or English words. The diary Anne receives for her 13th birthday.
Anne Frank was a teenage Jewish girl who kept a diary while her family was in hiding from the Nazis during World War II. For two years, she and seven others lived in a "Secret Annex" in Amsterdam before being discovered and sent to concentration camps. "Her words resonate with people all around the world."
When I read Anne Frank's diary, I found that through her, I had learned a lesson that not only applied to me, but to everyone around me. Anne Frank's diary taught that we don't really need all the stuff that we think we really "need", like a TV, or a smartphone.
On August 4, 1944, police in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam raided a warehouse and arrested eight Jews who were hiding in an annex disguised behind a bookcase. Among those captured was Anne Frank, a 15-year-old schoolgirl who had spent over two years living in the cramped safehouse with her parents and older sister.
The Diary of Anne Frank is a modern literary classic and an extraordinary social document that gives a unique account, from the perspective of a teenage Jewish girl, of life in hiding during Nazi terror in World World II.
