  • Description: This article examines the Basque translations of Anne Frank’s Het Achterhuis.A total of two translations are to be scrutinised. First of all, a partialtranslation from the 1960s, that was made by a somewhat atypical duo oftranslators – a Dutch upcoming specialist in Basque Studies and a teen-ageBasque girl – and published in one of the first fully Basque-language literaryjournals. Secondly, a full translation from 2004, with reissues in 2014 and2017. The article looks at translations from a sociological-receptive pointof view intending to reconstruct goals, working methods and profiles ofthe translators, and investigates the reception of both works in peritexts,mainly reviews in the press. To this end, I have used, among others, archivalmaterial, interviews with two of the three translators (those who are stillalive), and a contextual analysis of developments in the Basque literaryfield in recent decades. All this offers an opportunity to see how one of themodern Dutch-language classics circulates in the only partly autonomousliterary field of a minority language. The question should be asked whetherAnne Frank has been translated as a Dutch or a global icon. In the end, it isthe international success of the book that seems to have prevailed ratherthan the desire to open up Dutch culture to Basque readers.
