Issues related to war violence generate a lot of interest from
society and demand independent academic research. NIOD conducts and
stimulates such research and its collections are open to all those
who are interested.
The Institute was founded on 8 May 1945 to write the history of the
Second World War in the Netherlands and in the former Dutch East
Indies through independent research. Since 1 January 1999 the
Institute is part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and
Sciences (KNAW).
On 9 December 2010 NIOD merged with the Centre for Holocaust and
Genocide Studies (CHGS) and it now operates under the name NIOD,
Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
This valuable addition to the literature of the Holocaust assembles for the first time the three known versions of Frank's diary--the original, a self-edited version of same, and yet another edited by her father. It also contains a variety of related studies and reports, e.g., handwriting and paper analyses, new documentation regarding the Frank family's arrest, and a wealth of information about the diary's troubled publication history. Prepared under the auspices of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation, this authoritative volume will silence forever those who have denied the diary's authenticity. It honors and enriches a story that has inspired most of the civilized world for over 40 years. Mandatory for all but the smallest libraries.-- Mark R. Yerburgh, Trinity Coll. Lib., Burlington, Vt.
