Berlin's Madame Tussauds displays Anne Frank wax figure

Berlin's Madame Tussauds waxworks museum has put on display a wax figure of Anne Frank, the Jewish teenage diarist who documented her experiences during the Holocaust.

The girl is shown as a 13-year-old sitting at a desk writing her famous diary.

Anne Frank, a Jew born in Germany, kept a careful record of her time in hiding in Nazi-occupied Holland before her family was betrayed and she was sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she died in 1945 aged 15.

Her diary was rescued and published after the war. It has been translated into more than 60 languages.

The wax figure, on loan from Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam, will remain in Berlin for at least two months, a spokeswoman for the waxworks said Saturday.

Madame Tussaud's also showing a special exhibition on the life of Anne Frank and her family.

The first German branch of Madame Tussauds made headlines at its opening in Berlin in July when a 41-year-old visitor tore the head off a wax figure of Hitler.

Since then the Nazi dictator has been protected by a glass screen.
