Anne Frank Remembered by Miep Gies with Alison Leslie Gold

[Chimera]

First published over forty years ago, The Diary of Anne Frank has become a modern classic, an immortal affirmation of the human spirit. Now for the first time the story of Anne and other members of the Frank family is told from the outside by the woman who, with others, helped to hide them from the Nazis for two dark years and acted as their link with the outside world.

 

Anne Frank Remembered is the story of a tragedy, of a world gone mad with hatred, but it is also, finally, a story of hope, and of human courage and kindness that will never be forgotten.

 

This is a book I discovered as a teenager and which soon became one of my all time favourites. Enthralled like so many others by Anne Frank

Thanks for that. I have not long finished Anne Frank's diary, and wondered why, since it was such a popualr book i had not had a go before.

 

I found there was something about Anne Frank that drew me in. I think it might have been, because there were times, when her attitude and look on life reminded me of mine when I was about the same age. But then she would amaze me with the level of bravery and strength she had. Especially when she dreamt of her future.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I will get to the bottom of the books I have lined up and try it. That may be a while, so in another life time, maybe iI will let you know what I thought!

*laughs* I'm glad to have contributed to your next lifetime's To be read list... You wouldnt want to be caught without that!

 

Anne Frank certainly seems both so close to any adolescent reader and so exceptional... Just a normal youg girl caught up in exceptional circumstances really.

 

Do let me know what you think if you ever get round to this
