A new image, right, shows what Anne Frank might have looked like if she'd lived to mark her 80th birthday this week. Frank died at age 15 in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945.

Frank became famous after her 1945 death because of the publication of her diary, which recounted how she and her family hid from the Nazis in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during World War II.

She died of typhus and starvation just weeks before the Nazi concentration camp she was being held in was liberated.

Frank's half-sister Eva Schloss saw the image for the first time last week. "I must say I was a bit shocked... I don't really know why," she told the Telegraph. "It is a beautiful lady, very gentle, very kind-looking with this gentle smile."

The image was created by a Michigan firm that has worked on dozens of missing persons cases, the paper said.
