For those who are interested, Google has an especially good timeline of Anne Frank:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=anne+frank+diary&hl=en&hs=8Vk&sa=X&tbo=p&tbs=tl:1&num=100&ei=kFLHSuyQCI7f8Qb-2MDhCA&oi=timeline_navigation_bar&ct=timeline-navbar&cd=3
I like how this timeline shows how important this book is by describing not only historical events, but recent events as well.
The book itself is in the Good Reads "Best Books of the 20th Century":

Maybe she should have placed her adventure outside of a diary for publication for all people to read. I guess the word, "Diary" says "Private" to me.
I do believe that a key and lock is for the privacy of the writer !!

... but if I did have a diary, and if it was going to be of interest to the public I'd prefer to take the Michael Palin route and publish it while i was still alive (so that I can be involved in the editing process) but 30 years after the events involved.

See, I haven't done anything in my life that's really interesting enough to capture the imaginations and attention of the general public. I have no secrets, no intrigue, and frankly all of my embarrassments are probably pretty common and ordinary (phew!).
But if something happened to me that suddenly made my life interesting, by all means publish it! Contributing to the written discourse of history is an EXCITING proposition! It's a piece of immortality than is rarely ever granted.
What a way to have a life remembered!

If I were to die a successful writer, maybe I would not want my diary published. The reason being, that folks have already read my work, and I have probably been interviewed on a personal level. Those interviews would be accessible to anyone who was interested.
However, if I were to die penniless and alone, then I suppose I wouldn’t mind. Posthumous publication is better than none. However, I tend to put extremely personal things in my journal that are really nobody’s business. It would be interesting to say the least. But, if I’m dead, who cares, I guess.

M$I'm a writer and I have tons of manuscripts and I would imagine that some of not most of them will end up being published after I die. One of them is actually a semi-autobiographical account of my life, from being a 15-year-old runaway, homeless by 16, teen mom by 17, to graduating from college and owning two businesses and everything else in between. I think I can tell a compelling story.
yet, there's things that are just for me, not for anyone else.
So I don't keep a diary. It would be nearly impossible, though, for someone to tell my life from fiction, except for one thing: the fiction makes logical sense!
