My Friend Anne Frank: The Inspiring and Heartbreaking True Story of Best Friends Torn Apart and Reunited Against All Odds by Hannah Pick-Goslar

5.0

Wow. This book was incredibly powerful and l would recommend it to everyone. This book felt like so many missed “close calls”. So many people were so close to surviving this tragedy around Hannah and it was heartbreaking. The perspective of families and friends going missing and not knowing if they were in hiding, if they actually escaped or if they were in concentration camps was difficult. My heart broke each time Hannah excitedly yearned for Anne in Switzerland. The parallel between Hannah and seeing her story, along with Anne’s, and coming full circle at Bergen-Belsen, was emotional, heart breaking and inspiring.

Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for the advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
