About the Ann Frank…..

The short life of an ordinary school girl may seem to be an unlikely subject for a biography. Anne’s life began just as the Nazis rose to power and ended as the Nazis were defeated. She knew almost every part of the experience; what it felt like to have Nazi soldiers invade her neighborhood, to be branded as less than human, to live in hiding, to have a family separated into different death camps, and to be a prisoner of people who took a bizarre pleasure in cruelty. Like millions of others she knew what it felt like to be murdered, slowly, by Nazi Germany.
