Synopsis

The Diary of Anne Frank is read and loved by children throughout the world. Yet few of those readers know what life was really like for the young Jewish girl before and after she wrote her famous diary. Written in a lively yet sympathetic style, Anne Franks Story follows Anne Frank from her birth in Germany and her happy childhood in Amsterdam through the years she and her family spent in hiding from the Nazis, to her imprisonment and eventual death in the concentration camp. This book gives children the opportunity to meet Anne Frank, to know her story and her destiny, and to learn that discrimination in every form is evil and inhuman.Buddy Elias, first cousin to Anne Frank

About Carol Ann Lee

CAROL ANN LEE's first book, Roses From The Earth: The Biography of Anne Frank, was published in fifteen languages and included a foreword by Anne's cousin Buddy Elias, who stated: 'Of the many authors, writers and historians who have written about Anne Frank and her father Otto Frank, Carol Ann Lee is the most knowledgeable and sets new scholarly standards.' Her subsequent book, The Hidden Life of Otto Frank was a Guardian Book of the Week. One of Your Own: The Life and Death of Myra Hindley is the definitive study not only of Hindley, but of the Moors Murders case. It was both a Times and an Independent Book of the Week and was featured on Radio 4's Woman's Hour. Carol's biography of Ruth Ellis, A Fine Day for a Hanging was shortlisted for the 2013 CWA Non-Fiction award. Her Murders at White House Farm is being filmed by New Pictures for broadcast on ITV1 in 2019. Carol's Somebody's Mother, Somebody's Daughter: The Victims and Survivors of the Yorkshire Ripper will be published in Spring 2019.

Goodreads review by Laura on July 12, 2015

I was given this book when I was about 10 years old, having tried several times to read The Diary of a Young Girl but never being able to finish it. I had always found it such an uncomfortable topic (and rightly so), so the 10 year old me just couldn't read on. I never even read this book either, pr......more

Goodreads review by Merja on January 17, 2022

Very interesting read since it concentrates on Anne's (and her family's) life before and after they went hiding. An even more clear picture of them and the horrors of the holocaust emerges. Recommended highly to anyone.......more

Goodreads review by Samantha McNulty on April 23, 2009

This was one of the first books I read about Anne Frank (after the diary, of course). The retelling of Anne's story is simple, yet still powerful and poignant.......more

Audiobook Review My first encounter with Anne Frank was when I watched the movie as a child. All I remembered was that she and her family were hiding from the Nazis. I really enjoyed listening to this book. It made me sad to realise that so many people were lost, so many voices, because of one man’s......more
