Hello dear Readers,
Publication Date: June 03, 2014
Meet the Author: Melissa Muller

Praised as "remarkable," "meticulous," and "long overdue," Anne Frank: The Biography, originally published in 1998, still stands as the definitive account of the girl who has become "the human face of the Holocaust." Full of revelations, Müller's richly textured narrative returned Anne Frank to history, portraying the flesh-and-blood girl as unsentimentalized and so all the more affecting.
Now, sixteen years after the book first appeared, much new information has come to light: letters sent by Otto Frank to relatives in America as he sought to emigrate with his family, the identity of other suspects involved in the betrayal of the Franks, and important details about the family's arrest and subsequent fate.
Revised and updated with more than thirty percent new material, this is an indispensable volume for all those who seek a deeper understanding of Anne Frank and the brutal times in which she lived and died.
My Thoughts
It took me almost a year to read this book. The font is too small, and it is a very detailed account of Anne's story, however, it was worth every minute I spent reading it.
What I loved the most about this book is that even though it is detailed and well-researched, and has a lot of information included, it is not too technical nor boring, it is easy to read, and it keeps you interested the whole time.
I sure appreciate the amount of work and effort you can clearly see the author put into the writing of this book. I also liked that it is not just Anne's story being told but the other family members, all the people hiding in the Secret Annex, the Helpers, and many other people mentioned in Anne's diary, directly and indirectly.
I am so grateful that this book exists, and along with The Diary, this is now my favorite book on Anne's story.
