It was one of the original translators that rendered "het achterhuis" as "the Secret Annex", to give it an air of mystery. Following Anne's wishes, Otto named the first published edition of the diary "Het Achterhuis", but almost all succesive editions have been titled "Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl", or "The Diary of Anne Frank".
