Anne Frank : a complete illustrated biography / by Kathleen Perricone.

Summary:

"'Where there's hope, there's life.' So wrote Anne Frank in her poignant diary, one of the most important -- and bestselling -- pieces of literature that continues to inspire millions around the world, even 75 years after her death. Her heart-wrenching story details the hopes, dreams and fears of a young Jewish girl hiding from Nazis in German-occupied Amsterdam during the Holocaust. This richly illustrated book reveals rarely seen personal photos of Anne and her family from their early years in Germany to the final moments before fleeing to the secret annex and beyond. Learn how the Franks and their fellow Jewish refugees lived in hiding for two years inside the 500-square-foot-space, the loyal friends who kept them alive and the unsolved mystery surrounding who may have ultimately betrayed them. Above all, this is the story of the tenacity of a young girl and her indomitable spirit--and how her encouraging words can still teach us today"--Back cover.
