The diary kept by Anne Frank in hiding was published in Holland in 1947 and for the first time in Germany in 1950. Within a few years, the book became a worldwide bestseller and its author a symbolic figure for Jewish suffering. However, the ongoing offensive marketing of her story was soon met with fierce criticism. Even the inclusion of Anne Frank in her hiding place in the canon of Madame Tussauds wax museum – most recently in Vienna in 2013 – was not without controversy: The owner argued to make a contribution to the culture of remembrance. Others see it as a sensationalist show. RECONSTRUCTING ANNE FRANK follows the Studio Artist of Madame Tussauds Vienna on her daily routine maintaining the wax figure of Anne Frank.
