TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY MAUDE BRULARD
(FILES) A picture released in 1959 shows a portrait of Anne Frank who died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in May 1945 at the age of 15. A new Anne Frank play premieres in Amsterdam on May 8, 2014, promising to bring the troubled teenaged girl's identity out from behind the shadow of the Holocaust's most famous victim. The play, "Anne", claims to be the first based on all three edits of the Jewish girl's diary, written while hiding from the Nazis with her family in a "Secret Annexe" in Amsterdam before dying in a concentration camp in 1945.
