Book description
The life story of Anne Frank set chronologically against the
significant events of the Holocaust, e. g. Kristallnacht, the
Kindertransports and D-Day. Spanning Anne's short life from 1929 to
1945, and the early rise of Hitler to the liberation of the
concentration camps, this highly moving account examines both the fate
of the Frank family and the wider picture of the Holocaust. Photographs
illustrate this engaging yet ultimately harrowing biography, together
with short extracts from autobiographies, diaries and letters of other
young people who had personal experience of the Holocaust, providing a
contrast to Anne's life in hiding.
Carol Ann Lee's interest in Anne Frank began when she was six years
old, after reading a book about the young diarist. Her first book,
Roses From The Earth: The Biography of Anne Frank was published in
1999 and has been translated into fifteen languages. Her other books
include The Hidden Life of Otto Frank (a biography of Anne's father),
and two books for
children: Anne Frank's Story and A Friend Called Anne. For six
years, Carol Ann Lee lived in Amsterdam, but she has recently moved
back to the UK and now lives in York, with her son River.
