Book description
Otto Frank was the father of the most famous girl of the 20th
Century. It was he who found her diaries after her death and his
determination to see them published around the world. This is the
first time his story has been told.
Born into a prosperous Jewish family in Berlin, his life was a
portrait in miniature of the century: decorated after the Battle of
the Somme, forced to flee Germany in the 1930s, betrayed and
imprisoned by the Nazis in the Holocaust and finally gaining
recognition bybearing witness to the century's horrors though the
writings of his young daughter.
Carol Ann Lee has written a powerful biography of an extraordinary
man's life caught up in history.
Carol Ann Lee was born in Yorkshire in 1969. She lives in Amsterdam.
She is the world authority on the Frank family and is the author of
ROSES FROM THE EARTH: THE BIOGRAPHY OF ANNE FRANK.
