A set of annual literary awards honoring the memory of Anne Frank, the Jewish adolescent girl who died in a Nazi concentration camp and whose poignant story has been told to the world in a book and play, both entitled “The Diary of Anne Frank”, was announced here today.

The Anne Frank Memorial awards will be awarded jointly by the American-Israel Cultural Foundation, the Hebrew Writers Association and the Israel PEN Club for unpublished poetry, fiction and drama. The awards have been made possible by anonymous donors in New York, the announcement revealed.
