Honestly I would never recommend anyone read Anne Frank's diary because it's a fucking diary. Should have never been published, in my opinion, but I get why people disagree.

yeah it's very personal, but she always wanted to be a writer. and i think this way her dream still came true?

That is in no way consent in my opinion.

"Anne Frank kept a diary from June 12, 1942, to August 1, 1944. Initially, she wroteit strictly for herself. Then, one day in 1944, Gerrit Bolkestein, a member of the
Dutch government in exile, announced in a radio broadcast from London that after the
war he hoped to collect eyewitness accounts of the suffering of the Dutch people
under the German occupation, which could be made available to the public. As an
example, he specifically mentioned letters and diaries.
Impressed by this speech, Anne Frank decided that when the war was over she would
publish a book based on her diary. She began rewriting and editing her diary,
improving on the text, omitting passages she didn't think were interesting enough and
adding others from memory. At the same time, she kept up her original diary. In the
scholarly work The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition (1989), Anne's first,
unedited diary is referred to as version a, to distinguish it from her second, edited
diary, which is known as version b."

no it isn't, but the more sensitive parts were in the beginning censored by her father. they were only published later

"After long deliberation, Otto Frank decided to fulfill his daughter's wish and publishher diary. He selected material from versions a and b, editing them into a shorter
version later referred to as version c. Readers all over the world know this as The
Diary of a fauna Girl.
In making his choice, Otto Frank had to bear several points in mind. To begin with,
the book had to be kept short so that it would fit in with a series put out by the
Dutch publisher. In addition, several passages dealing with Anne's sexuality were
omitted; at the time of the diary's initial publication, in 1947, it was not customary to
write openly about sex, and certainly not in books for young adults. Out of respect for
the dead, Otto Frank also omitted a number of unflattering passages about his wife and
the other residents of the Secret Annex. Anne Frank, who was thirteen when she
began her diary and fifteen when she was forced to stop, wrote without reserve about
her likes and dislikes"

also anne frank did want her diary (or at least her experiences) in some form to be published. and in the beginning her father honored that by publishing her reworked version with the private bits censored. but then later the uncensored full version was published, for better authenticity i guess?
