Remember Anne (About Anne Frank)

This is an important, painful, fascinating and uncompromising look at the life of Anne Frank, her family and the destruction of the Jews during the Nazi years. The narrative is readable and makes Anne and her family come alive. There are many photos of Anne’s daily life which serve as a painful reminder of all that was lost and the absurdity of one group of people despising and mistreating another. There are many asides in the book that answer historical questions. While not an easy read, this is a superb introduction to Anne, the horrors of WWII and antisemitism.  The courage of those who hid the Franks is also noteworthy.  While written for middle school to teen readers, adults can surely benefit from spending time with this book as well. I recommend it most highly.
