Anne Frank - Aotearoa New Zealand

Te Rātaka a Tētahi Kōhine
​(The Diary of a Young Girl, in te reo Māori), Anne Frank, translated by Te Haumihiata Mason, 2019

​​​Anne Frank Diary translation launch - June 12 2019

The commemoration of what would have been Anne Frank’s 90th birthday, had she survived Bergen-Belsen, was a double event for the Wellington Jewish community.
 As well as planting the first 15 trees in a planned Grove of Remembrance for Anne, close to the capital’s centre, there was the launch of the first translation of her Diary of a young girl into the Māori language.
 
Over 200 guests packed into Rongomaraeroa, the Māori marae at the national museum Te Papa, for a heartwarming coming-together of the Jewish, Māori and Dutch aspects of the diary, its translation and its publication.
