1) The actual diary is on display at the Anne Frank House (the building and attic where they hid) in Amsterdam. As for the original book, I have no idea.
2) Anne's father, Otto, was the only one who survived the concentration camps (he was in Auschwitz, Poland). When he returned back to Amsterdam, one of the workers who helped them in hiding presented him with Anne's diary, which was one of the things she had left behind. He later decided to publish an edited version of the diary- now a full version is available.
3)The others have pretty much answered this, but to add, since Jews were considered second class citizens (or indeed worse) during the Nazi regime, they did not have the same rights as other Germans (except for gypsies, poles, the disabled, etc., who were also denied rights). Because of this, they were denied formal citizenship but that did not mean that their ethnicity was not German (or Polish, French, etc.,). The Nazi regime actually spread throughout much of western Europe, so Europe's Jews were denied basic rights and citizenship. Still, Jews considered themselves German, French, Polish, etc., but because they were placed at the bottom of society, were stripped of formal citizenship.
Since Anne Frank spent much of her life in Amsterdam, she had an affinity for Holland and for Dutch people. Understandably, she had little connection to Germany, and although she knew she was born into a German family, she really considered herself to also be Dutch.
So although ethnically German Jews were German, they were not considered German nationals under Nazi law.

Theres nothing wrong with being a German Jew. It was perfectly fine thing until hitler came along. As the person before me the women and men were sepperated. When the family was discovered in the atic they had only a few minutes to gather some things which were later taken from them. At the end of her diary it ends mid-sentence, because they forced her to leave. Anne died 4 days or so before they let all the Jewish people leave the camps. Her father had no where to go so he went back to the house thinking his wife or his two daughters might return there. When he got the death notes he was upset. But when the lady gave him Anne's diary and he read it. He found out that she wanted to be a writer. He wanted to make her dream come true, so he had her journal. made into a book, what she wanted her whole life. He wanted her to be around forever, and for the world to know his families story. You won't get the original because it's her diary. However, if you want the original story you can easily get that from your local libray or bookstore, thats your best bet. I don't speak for every libray, but they should have it. If they don't have it then there not a good libray. This book tells how life was during this time. But this girl was there, living it. It's moving and very well written. You forget that this is a teenager writing this book.
Deffinetly read this book it's really good.
Hope I helped!

Anne's and her family were discovered in the attic and taken right to a concentration camp. She left her diary behind. When they went to the concentration camp, the men went one way and the women were taken another. Remember, at this time most of the men had jobs while the women stayed home to take care of the children. This meant that some of the men who were taken into the camps had some skill that could help the Germans. Anne's father may have worked. Either way, he survived the camp, while the women, including Anne, did not. When he was released, the lady who owned the home where the hideout was, gave him the diary. It must have been heartbreaking for him to read it.
Also, Anne can be a Jew and a German in just the same way that you can be a Catholic or a Jew and an American. Anne lived in Germany and practicd the Jewish religion.
