This is a unique scrapbook on the life of Anne Frank, told through photographs and her own words.

An amazing pictorial look at the life an Anne Frank and her diary. The excerpts paired with the the photographs and the commentary are simply amazing. Every child who is enamored with history should read this. I loved this book. Her legacy will live on. ( )

I would think I would have had enough reading books/viewing films about Anne Frank. I recently read her complete works book.

This book was on my to read list and I borrowed it when I saw it at the library. It’s shelved as juvenile biography.

There are more photos, more information about Anne’s life & death and more of Anne’s words in many other books. Even so, this book had a few photos I don’t remember seeing in other books and had information about Anne’s life that either slightly conflicted with what I had read or confirmed information with additional information about who had provided it.

There is more in this book than I remember previously reading of eyewitness accounts in the camps of survivors who knew all eight of those who had been hidden in the Secret Annex.

Even though Otto seemed to have gotten over not knowing, I still want to know who betrayed them.

The book, arranged mostly chronologically, is a touching and informative tribute. It does get rather graphic and I think is more appropriate for teens and adults than for children. The glossary and certain other of the book’s contents do seem to be geared to older children or to older people who don’t know much of anything about Anne or WWII or the Holocaust. I wouldn’t give this book to children younger than 11 and not to most 11-year-olds. I do recommend it though. It’s a lovely book and as I always seem to, I learned some things. ( )

Summary Book: This book is about the life of Anne Frank. A girl who was born into a German Jewish family. When she was 11 years old, her family moved from Germany to Holland because the Nazis persecuted the Jewish people. Holland was under attack by the Nazis and she and her family hid from them for about two years. She started writing a diary about her daily life in the hiding place.

Personal Reaction:
I read the book of Anne Frank when I was a child because my mother has the book. My mother read this book when she was studying in elementary school in Mexico, then she gave me this book. I was always curious to know how was the life of Anne Frank in the hiding place.

Classroom Ideas:
1. Teacher can read this book to the children during the reading time.
2. Children can write about how they think Anne Frank's life was during the two years she was hiding.
3. Children can draw pictures of the hiding place of Anne Frank.

for anyone who was obsessed with her diary (as i was). this is a gorgeous book - chock full of pictures and commentary and makes me even more desperate to visit amsterdam someday. ( )
