I am so glad I found this book in the library. I am a huge "fan" of Anne Frank's diary and it is the reason why I decided to journal regularly. I first read it when I was 14 years old. I reread it every time I can. This book is the perfect companion for the diary. When reading it, you get to see photographs of Anne and her family before the war, as well as pictures of her diary. It just makes it so real, she's no longer the Anne Frank, now I feel her closer to me. I'm unable to write more in this review, but most of my thoughts have been expressed in the introduction. I recommend everyone who's read about Anne Frank to read this.

I recently read Anne Frank's diary for the first time, and I was interested to know more. There are many, many books about Anne, her family, her housemates, and their experience. This one is among the most highly recommended, so I started with it. It's mostly photographs, along with maps and diagrams. It really fills in some of the details that were harder for me to imagine from only what Anne wrote—the actual layout of the Secret Annex, for example. This is an excellent companion to the diary.

This was a valuable companion book while re-reading Anne's diary.

In a sense, this is a powerful simplified version of Anne Frank's diary that children too young to read the Diary of Anne Frank can read instead.
This book contains information about life in Europe pre, during, and post war, photographs of Anne Frank and her family, and snippets of the diary.
This is haunting, and although it's simpler than the diary itself, it's still harrowing - and includes photographs of children who were starving and in concentration camps at the time. I would suggest that young children still wait before reading this book.

A nice, easy-to-read overview of Anne, her family, their stay in the secret annex, and their deaths. The pictures and diagrams really bring to life the story of these people.

This is a great visual aid to the diary which I read years ago. However, seeing the people and the areas more, drives home further the torment that they endured
