Anne Frank personal study

I am really interested in the life of Anne Frank, and I was wondering if there could be any way in which I could do an essay about her, or her role in teaching people about the holocaust, for my personal study.
I haven't asked my teacher about it yet, but I will do on Monday, but I have a feeling that even though I do know quite a bit about the subject, it won't be accessible enough for a personal study.
Do you have any ideas?

There should be some stuff on www.annefrank.org
Alternatively, if you have some knowledge of German there is the website of the Anne Frank Zentrum in Berlin: www.annefrank.de - they are very keen on educating young people about the Holocaust and multi-culturalism more generally. The site doesn't seem to be available in English, but they may have some English info available if you e-mail them (a friend of mine does English language tours there). Here's the direct link to their contact form:

A quick internet search also reveals the Anne Frank Internet guide (not sure whether you have already come across this):

I'm sure it would be fine. Although perhaps it is a little narrow in scope. Try something wider, maybe the effects of the Holocaust on German children, using Anne Frank as the centrepiece, maybe?
