Statue of Anne Frank, Bronze statue on Janskerkhof square in Utrecht, Netherlands

The life-sized bronze figure depicts Anne Frank standing with her diary, created by Dutch sculptor Pieter d'Hont and installed in the city center.

Utrecht youth presented the statue to the city council in 1959, funded by their collection of scrap iron and paper throughout the community.

This monument stands as the first statue worldwide dedicated to Anne Frank, representing the endurance of youth during the Second World War.

The current statue is a 1986 replica of the original work, placed in the same location after vandals damaged the first version beyond repair.

Local children gathering recyclable materials to fund this memorial demonstrates the connection between Utrecht residents and Anne Frank's memory.
