Because she was a child. There are many recountings of the holocaust from its survivors, but none has the same dramatic impact that Anne Frank's diary has. Coming from a child, her perspective is real and untainted. Her story recounts the terror she and her family experienced in waiting to be captured. Her diary entries end abruptly which adds a certain element of horror to the whole story.

Because she wrote a book. There aren't many documents found by the holocaust victims, and the majority of people who did survive, did not feel the need to share their story.
I also think that her being so young has a lot to do with it. But for the most part, I think it's just because there are so few documents from the time, so many people died, and the survivors weren't really into sharing their story. I think most wanted to just move on, and in most cases, the survivors have called surviving a curse, because if they had just perished with their friends and family, they wouldn't be dealing with the traumatizing affects the holocaust had on them. Most lost their entire towns, including friends and family, and at young ages. That's not an easy thing to deal with.

Because there are so little first-hand stories or memoirs from that period, her story and that of Elie Weisel have become the most studied accounts of the Holocaust.

If I remember correctly it has been published in over 54 languages. A lot like Helen Keller.

She wrote about it and about growing up during it.
Her style has been the model for a lot of teen writing.
She wasn't popular among her peers, though.
Her name is two syllables, by the way, like Anna.

Since she had written the published diary, she became well known as a writer, and then became famous.

Basically because of the diary she kept while she was living in hidden rooms with her family and another family.
