Summary: A Classic for Anne Frank devotees
Review: Alison Leslie Gold's splendid new book on the world of Anne Frank focuses on the plight of Anne's beloved 'Hanneli',and 'Lies',whose real name was Hannah Pick-Goslar. They lived in the same neighbourhood in central Amsterdam,and lived identical lives. Later,while in hiding,Anne would write of Hannah in her diary,though her name,like many others,would be altered for safety reasons.Hannah tries to recall as much as she can for this new book,though,as she says in beginning,'If I knew back then that Anne would become so famous I would have tried to remember more'. It is a great coincidence that Anne and Hannah would be reunited at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Though Hannah has been approached for many books,including Ernst Schnabel's now-classic 'Footsteps of Anne Frank',Carol Ann Lee's book,and Melissa Muller's,this is the first book that Hannah has been directly involved in. I know that many people are thankful that Hannah was by Anne's side to the end,and we are so lucky to have her testament on record. This is one girl's story of courage over the most terrible periods of the twentieth century.

This story takes place in Amsterdam, Germany in between the 1940's and 1950's. A Jewish girl whose name is Hannah Elizabeth Pick-Goslar tells everything she remembers about her best friend Anne Frank and her true-life story. Everyday before World War 2 began Hannah and Anne would walk to school together. Until, one day like always Hannah was up and ready for school she walked to the Frank's house (which was across from)
And knocked on the solid rock door, no one was home! The house was stripped down bear! Hannah panicked, she ran to the next door neighbors house to ask if he knew where the franks were? The neighbor replied saying that they escaped to go to Switzerland from the Nazis.
After Hannah had heard the news she quickly ran to her house telling her parents what she had heard about the Franks. Her parents freaked out wondering if the Nazis were looking for them. But, Hannah wondered if she ever will see Anne again.?
Through the story Hannah is exported to concentration camps with her mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother, and even her little baby sister who is only 2 years old! Will Hannah's family survive? Will she ever meet Anne again? Read the book to find out!

Summary: Good information
Review: I liked this book because it takes you through timeless journey that helps you understand the living and lives of the Jews and the Nazi. How the harsh punishment and cruelty treatment was by a friend's point of view. This book is very detail and includes everything you need to know about Annie Frank and her relationship with her family and friends. This book also tells you about the struggles and hardship on trying to hide and saving your life.
I also liked this book because not only is it heart riveting but also it focuses on a real based living of a young teenage girl that lived a normal life until she had to meet up to the Nazi's need. This story also focuses on a strong point of view of a teenager's life and what they deal with everyday. A diary of an intelligent teenager is now a published novel.
My favorite part in this book is when the Nazi find some of the Jewish hiding and the Nazi finds some of them and send them off in the train. I also like the part when the author explain how they had a certain way of living and the standards of clothes they wore and the lifestyle they lived in. Why I liked this part in the book was because it showed passion and gives a big thump in our heart that makes us want to show them pity and sadness.

Summary: About the Book
Review: I read the book Memories of Anne Frank by Alison Leslie Gold as an assignment for school. I usually like to read but this book was very average but I am definitely not saying that this book is not a good one. Its just really is not style of book. The book was focused mainly on Anne Frank's childhood friend Hannah Goslar and Hannah's family. The book was not very factual, it did not give many important dates, and it stayed mostly from one point of view. The story was mostly based around memories that Hannah had of Anne's and her childhood friendship and the families friendship when thing were all fine and before the Nazi people came. The book I would probably recommend this book to a girl over a boy because the main character, Hannah, is a girl and boy and girls interpret thing differently most times. Mainly I did enjoy the book but it was not one of the best books I ever read.

Summary: Memories of Anne Frank a review by Trevor
Review: Memories Of Anne Frank
Will Hannah be able to survive during the Holocaust? This book has many mixed emotions during the story. "Dad are we going to die in this dreadful camp." Alison Leslie the author of Memories of Anne Frank taught many people, throughout this book, that life really isn't that bad. Hannah, the protagonist, of the story tells her life as it really was.
As Hannah lived in these camps, she never knew where her next meal would come from. She thought of it as dark as the midnight night but knew she had to be as positive as the light of day. As long as she lived she never would give up hope for that one special day.
Then, that one special day finally came. Her best friend, Anne, who also is the protagonist, meets her. Anne is across the fence in another camp. Even though Anne had a high spirit, she died sometime before liberation day. Finally, that day came where Hannah got to leave the prison camp with the rest of the full spirited prisoners. Hannah went to Berlin with her little sister to try to find someone they knew.
Would Hannah ever be able to move to America where her family first wanted to live? Would she and her little sister, Gabi, even find some good food to eat and a nice home with foster parents? I insist that you come join the adventures in Memories Of Anne Frank.

Summary: What else can I say?
Review: This book is wonderfull. It tells the story of one of the secondary characters in Anne's diary, Hannali (ie Lies) Gosens.It's true that it focuses mostly on Hannah, but that's the way it should be. It fills in many of the essential holes in Anne's story and tells us what happened to their other friend Sanna .... If you like this one, I also recommend Eva's Story. It's the story of Anne's posthumous step-sister (her mom married Otto after the war). It's true that the parents never met, but Eva had been over to the Frank House many times and was even at ther birthday party where they watched Rin Tin Tin (or whatever the movie was) and Anne got her diary. Both books provide valuable instight and are necessary to the understanding of Anne Frank.
