If you were to look into some information about Anne Frank and her diary, you would find that towards the end of her stay in "het achterhuis" (the secret annex) Anne Frank started editing her diary with the intent of having it published. She did this after hearing a broadcast from the dutch government in exile, requesting diaries te chronicle the war.

Anne Frank had always inspired to be a writer and this announcement led her to edit and rewrite large parts of her diary and giving it a title; Het Achterhuis. She also expressed the wish to others to have her diary published. After the war, her father; Otto Frank, was initially reluctant to publish it, mainly because of some of the things Anne wrote about her mother. After editing these out however, he decided to respect his daughter's wish and had the diary published under the title she intended.

So there was really no better way for him to commemorate his daughter than by publishing her diary, thereby fulfilling her greatest wish.
