Abstract

"Read about the tragic lives of Anne Frank and other children persecuted in the Holocaust ... This book combines Anne’s story with that of the millions of other children whose lives were touched by the Holocaust. Carol Ann Lee includes personal accounts from other survivors, excerpts from writings by other victims, and black and white photos of both the Franks and other families. The book captures the shocking spiral of the Frank family from productive, proud German citizens to concentration camp residents, as well as the many remarkable ways in which children throughout Europe coped with these difficult times.”--
