Anne Frank: The Biography

Melissa Mueller

"Mueller pays respect to the legend, but she also does something long overdue. She saves Anne Frank from idolatry and impersonal symbolism by restoring her physical presence" wrote R.Z. Sheppard for Time. Drawing on exclusive interviews with family and friends, on previously unavailable correspondence, and on five diary pages long kept secret, the author creates a nuanced portrait of the flesh-and-blood Anne, unsentimentalized and so all the more affecting. Full of revelations, Mueller's richly textured biography casts new light on Anne's relations with her mother and solves an enduring mystery: Who betrayed the families hiding in the annex just when liberation was at hand?
