Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl; Signed by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel and Finely Bound by the Harcourt Bindery
FRANK, Anne. [Elie Wiesel].
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1952.
First edition, early printing of “one of the wisest and most moving commentaries on war” (Eleanor Roosevelt). Octavo, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in five compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt bindery, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, frontispiece, illustrated.

Wiesel was deported from Sighet to Auschwitz in May 1944 and was on the death march to Buchenwald in January 1945, where his father died days before liberation. Both are first-person testim...

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1952.
First edition, early printing of “one of the wisest and most moving commentaries on war” (Eleanor Roosevelt). Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece, illustrated. Boldly signed by Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel on the half-title page. Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt. Translated from the Dutch by B.M. Mooyaart-Doubleday. The parallels between Frank and Wiesel are striking. They were nearly the same age (Anne born June 1929 in Frankfurt, Elie born September 1928 in Sighet, Romania), both were from observant Jewish families, both teenagers when they were caught up in the deportations of 1944. Both ended up in the Nazi camp system in the same period: Anne Frank arrived at Auschwitz with her family on September 3, 1944, and was later transferred to Bergen-Belsen, where she and her sister Margot died of typhus in early March 1945. Wiesel was deported from Sighet to Auschwitz in May 1944 and was on the death march to Buchenwald in January 1945, where his father died days before liberation. Both are first-person testimonies written by Jewish adolescents who lived through the Holocaust, and both have come to stand for something larger than themselves — they're the two memoirs through which most readers in the English-speaking world first encounter the Shoah.
