Anne Frank Remembered: The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family
Miep Gies, with Alison Leslie Gold
        
From her own remarkable childhood as a World War I refugee to the moment she places the small, checkered diary-Anne's legacy-in Otto Frank's hands, Miep Gies remembers her days with simple honesty and shattering clarity. Each page rings with courage and heartbreaking beauty. For more than two years, Miep Gies and her husband helped hide the Franks from the Nazis. Like thousands of unsung heroes of the Holocaust, they risked their lives each day to bring food, news, and emotional support to the victims.

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?
