Features: Anne Frank—representing the "face of humanity in the Holocaust." During her 25 months in hiding, she wrote a precious diary that recorded her efforts to keep hope alive in the darkest days of the 20th century. This book is the biography of this Jewish girl. The author conducted extensive interviews with Anne's relatives and friends and previously inaccessible letters and long-secret documents to provide a meticulous portrayal of her. The book tells the story of Anne's life, with many new discoveries in the well-documented biography. It not only reexamines the relationship between Anne and her mother—whom she often disrespected in her diary—but also solves a long-standing mystery: who betrayed the two families hiding in the secret annex just when victory was within reach?
