I read Corrie's book The Hiding Place as a young teen during my Christian period. I do think her books are more appreciated and read in Christian circles.Corrie ten Boom achieved a modest level of fame in the US late in her life by the re-telling of her own experiences in the Netherlands with the Holocaust. There are certainly parallel lines to the personal history for both women; so it's plausible to me that with Anne's skills as a writer, her story would find an audience

In the 1960s, Corrie ten Boom was recognized by Yad Vashem as a person who is one of the Righteous Among The Nations.
IIRC her later entries were written with a view to publication in response to an annoucement by the Dutch Government in Exile. Anne would at least give it the good old college try to submit it to the program.People forget one thing about her diary, it was her father who published it, and from what I remember he did edit it somewhat, do it's limited how much we can use it as a example of her writing skills.
So what do I think would have happened to her? I think it would be pure guesswork. Her father would still have a story to tell, and her diary could still serve as a good way to document their struggle while hiding, and if they end up in the camps and she survive through a miracle, she may also write about that. But there's also the chance that if they both survive, the father may feel a less need to share their story. I think their future dame really build on whether they share their story or not. If they do and she show herself skilled as a author in general, I suspect she will have a career as a well known author. If they don't share, she will just be another survivor of the Holocaust, and even if she take a future career which gain her fame, it will be minor and she will not be especially well known.
I'm not familiar with the term pillarisation. Please explain this a little.I wonder how she would deal with the decline of pillarisation? IIRC due to her father's profession she may have been in the liberal pillar by default, but ten Boom of course belonged to one of the Protestant pillars.
In late 19th and early/middle 20th century Netherlands was divided into 4 pillars, depending on your political and religious believes:I'm not familiar with the term pillarisation. Please explain this a little.
