Why was Anne Frank's contribution important?What lasting effects did she have on the lives of others?How do we benefit from her today?

Her lasting contribution is that although she was being "hunted" she was able to still maintain something within herself. She was very young when everything was going on so for her to be able to keep a "diary" of what her life was is amazing. She retained composure through tough times, and others will be able to find strength in her trials.
