Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic Biography by Sid Jacobson, Ernie Colón

5.0

Perhaps because of Jacobson and Colon used the actual photographs of Otto Frank in their depictions, this graphic novel biography is especially haunting. As a result, the clothes they wear aren't just the style at the time, they're clothes the Franks really wore. The expressions on their faces are ones they often made. Drawing on historical documents as well as Anne's diary, this graphic novel captures not only the life within their hiding place, but everything around it as well. It continues past their capture and through Otto's eventual release, only to discover that he is the only one left, continuing to his publication of Anne's journal and creation of the Anne Frank House. This was a beautifully done graphic novel and I definitely recommend it to those wanting a further entry into Anne's life.
