Anne Frank hatte einen großen Wunsch: »Nach dem Krieg will ich auf jeden Fall ein Buch mit dem Titel ›Das Hinterhaus‹ herausbringen«, schrieb sie am 11. Mai 1944 in ihr Tagebuch. 75 Jahre später geht dieser Wunsch in Erfüllung. Als Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Anne Frank Haus in Amsterdam und dem Secession Verlag erscheint diese von Anne Frank selbst literarisch überarbeitete Fassung des Tagebuchs erstmals als Einzelpublikation in neuer Übersetzung von Waltraut Hüsmert. Laureen Nussbaum, eine Jugendfreundin von Anne Frank und emeritierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin aus den USA, hat ein Nachwort verfasst, in dem sie das schriftstellerische Talent von Anne Frank heraustellt, wie es vor allem in dieser zum Romanentwurf umgearbeiteten Fassung sichtbar wird.
