Book description
The life story of Anne Frank, from her early happy childhood in
Frankfurt, growing up in Amsterdam, her two years in hiding and the last
few months of her life in the concentration camps. Narrated in six
clearly written chapters, this biography for children answers the many
detailed questions about Anne that readers of the Diary often have, and
includes interesting anecdotes from friends who survived her. There is
an Historical Note at the beginning of the book and a map of Europe, so
that children will be able to understand the situation at the time, and
an Introduction by Anne Frank's cousin, Buddy Elias. Carol Ann Lee
collected Anne Frank memorabilia, including first editions of the Diary
in any language, from an early age. Although not Jewish, she developed
an interest in the Holocaust and identified with Anne Frank. She studied
history of art and design at university and then followed her early
interest and interviewed Holocaust survivors and worked in the
Manchester Jewish Museum. She has worked for the Anne Frank Trust and on
its touring exhibitions. Carol Ann now lives in Amsterdam.
