In this ground-breaking work, acclaimed author Barry Denenberg illuminates the story of Anne Frank and the world in which she and her family lived. After laying out the facts surrounding World War II and the Holocaust, Denenberg
follows the Franks from Frankfurt, Germany, to Amsterdam, where they hoped to resume a normal life, but instead were forced into hiding.
In creating a fictional diary from Margot Frank's perspective, Denenberg introduces a new voice from the family's two years in hiding. An oral history created from numerous primary sources captures the horrifying reality of the last months of the Frank family's lives, including rarely seen details of Anne and Margot's final days.
