The Story Of Anne Frank

by Anne Frank House, Ruud van der Rol

+ Want to read

The Story of Anne Frank traces the life of the young Jewish girl whose diary became one of the most widely read records of the Second World War. Anne grew up in Frankfurt and later in Amsterdam, where her family's life changed after the Nazis came to power and then occupied the Netherlands. In 1942 the family went into hiding in a concealed annex behind her father's office, where they lived for more than two years. This illustrated book, prepared by the Anne Frank House, places her diary within its historical setting, using photographs, documents and background on the people and places connected with her story. It suits readers who want to understand the world behind the diary as well as the diary itself.
