Anne was in the process of editing it herself for publication after the war. What about her wishes? No, it is all about ideology. Anne was writing personally, not writing a political tract.

Anne was in the process of editing it herself for publication after the war. If I recall correctly, that's not accurate. She actually died in a concentration camp at the age of 15. Her diary was left behind when she was captured. It was later had published by her father. This is an outstanding book. I don't see the need to include the material left out by her family, I think their wishes should be respected. I'm sure they wanted to protect her privacy even in death.

Anne was in the process of editing it herself for publication after the war.

That is correct. Anne Frank wrote her diary with the express purpose of publishing the book after the war was over.

I went on a tour of the "Anne Frank House" in Amsterdam many years ago and was surprised to learn that there were dozens, if not hundreds, of people who wrote "diaries" during the war in the hopes of publishing, and cashing in on their experiences.

The reason why the world knows about the Anne Frank Diary is because it was the best written of the bunch.
