Anne Frank : The Biography

Rating:
Summary: What Every Biography Should Be
Review: This is perhaps the most thorough, detailed scope into the life of Anne Frank, aside from her own diary. The author has done an incredible amount of research about this young heroine who has served as a voice for the most horrific period of time in our modern history. The book follows Anne's family from their time before she was born to the end of the Holocaust and her father's life thereafter. I especially appreciated the updates and locations given of other survivors and friends related to the Franks. This is an extensive, yet human look at a remarkable girl - and an important lesson for the world. It should be required reading in schools everywhere, simply for its detailed horrors of the concentration camps where so much suffering occured.
