A Dutch-language app containing the bestselling and widely translated book was announced earlier this month by publisher Uitgeverij Prometheus, _Haaretz_ reports. The app also features interactive timelines, photo and video content and an audio book version. _Game of Thrones_ actress Carice van Houten, who is Dutch, reads the audio book version. The app is not the first Anne Frank app — an English-language one was released last year — but this app is the first to publish the diary in its original language. The diary documents the two years the Frank family spent in hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam before thy were discovered and Anne Frank was sent to a concentration camp, where she later died. \[[_Haaretz_](http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/1.629223 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3610775/diary-of-anne-frank-smartphone-app/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3610775/diary-of-anne-frank-smartphone-app/"},"headline":"The Diary of Anne Frank: There's an App for That","datePublished":"2014-11-30T14:37:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:27:09.254Z","description":"Game of Thrones actress Carice van Houten, who is Dutch, reads the audio book version","url":"https://time.com/3610775/diary-of-anne-frank-smartphone-app/","keywords":["Books","game of thrones","App"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd83378e50b7fb0e5/69876b7acd1bba50826f3cde/anne-frank-diary.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd83378e50b7fb0e5/69876b7acd1bba50826f3cde/anne-frank-diary.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Anne Frank (1929-1945).","caption":"Anne Frank (1929-1945).","creditText":"Heritage Images/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/books/","name":"Books"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3610775/diary-of-anne-frank-smartphone-app/","name":"The Diary of Anne Frank: There's an App for That"}}]}] ```
