Translated from Dutch by Tony Langham and Plym Peters.
In over one hundred pictures, many never before published, Anne's life before she was forced into hiding is uncovered. Anne Frank: Beyond the Diary captures the childhood of almost any girl we might know, one with a lively personality, friends, and family. We can imagine her hopes, her dreams. Photographs and excerpts from Anne's diaries expose the worsening political situation and oppressive conditions that marked the last years of her life. Finally, the testimony of the people who last saw Anne and her sister Margot alive reveals the tragedy that followed.
