    About this ebook

    With much new material on the betrayal of the Frank family and their attempts to leave for the US, this updated edition is now the definitive biography of Anne Frank

    'Definitive' Choice
    'Sensitive, serious and scrupulous' Sunday Telegraph

    Tracing Anne Frank's life from an early childhood in an assimilated family to her adolescence in German-occupied Amsterdam, Melissa Müller's biography, originally published in 1998, follows her life right up until her desperate end in Bergen Belsen.

    This updated edition includes the five missing pages from Anne Frank's diary, a number of new photographs, and brings to light many fascinating facts surrounding the Franks. As well as an epilogue from Miep Gies, who hid them for two years, it features new theories surrounding their betrayal, revelations about the pressure put on their helpers by the Nazi party and the startling discovery that the family applied for visas to the US that were never granted.

    This authoritative account of Anne Frank's short but extraordinary life has been meticulously revised over seven years.

      I love this book. If you're at all interested in Anne Frank, it's a must-read. I own the earlier 1998 edition as well, and I'm grateful to Ms. Muller for putting out an updated edition reflecting he ongoing research. The book gives some background on Anne, and can help put her diary in the wider context of her life and the lives around her. One of the neat features of the book is a list of people who Anne knew and mentioned in her diary and what their fates were. It also has a thorough discussion of who betrayed the family's hiding place. It's very well written and very interesting. I was lucky enough to get this through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program.
    • 5/5
      A very readable biography that sheds a lot of light on Frank family history and chillingly recounts the ratcheting up of persecution against Jews, firstly in Germany after Hitler came to power, then in Holland after the Nazis invaded in 1940. The period in the Annex, being the most familiar period, was perhaps the least revealing, but nevertheless pointed up the psychological effects on a young girl of going through adolescent awakening in a confined space (this emerges very clearly in the definitive edition of the Diary). The post-Annex time is, of course, very difficult reading and the tragedy of Anne's separation from the loving bosom of the family in the last few months well described. An appendix details the fates of the key players. A must read.

      This book is not a substitute for Anne Frank's own diary, but rather a complement. At its best, it fills in the gaps and provides the reader with a better understanding of Anne as a child and the world she lived in. Armed with a different (even unbiased, when it comes to interpersonal relationships) perspective, the reader can form a more complete picture of the lives and times involved in Anne Frank's story.
