Anne Frank and Family: The
Photographs by Otto Frank
Just like in any average family, the photo album of the Frank family also begins with the birth of the first child. As an amateur photographer, Otto Frank has a single theme: the life & times of his daughters Anne and Margot.
Nothing we see in Otto Frank's photos reveals the horrors that Anne and her family will later have to endure. What we now know about the fate of Anne Frank has an effect on how her book Anne Frank, The diary of a Young Girl is perceived. Equally so, it is now impossible to view the photos that portray her life with an impartial eye.

The Hidden Life of Otto Frank
Carol Ann Lee
With this book, Carol Ann Lee presents an astonishing and moving portrait of the father of Anne Frank, whose life, both charmed and cursed, was interwoven with one of the most momentous events of the last century. Based on impeccable research into rare archives and filled with excerpts from the secret journal he kept from the day of his liberation from Auschwitz until his return to the secret annex in 1945, this landmark biography explores every facet of Frank's life. Until now, except for a few basic facts, almost nothing has been written about Otto Frank's own extraordinary life.

Treasures from the Attic: The Extraordinary Story of Anne Frank's Family
Mirjam Pressler
Helene Elias was born Helene Frank, sister to Otto Frank, and therefore aunt to Anne Frank. Ensconced upstairs in the house she inherited from her mother, and eventually passed on to her son, Buddy Elias, Anne's cousin and childhood playmate, was the documented legacy of the Frank family: a vast collection of photos, letters, drawings, poems, and postcards preserved throughout decades - a cache of over 6,000 documents in all. Chronicled by Buddy's wife, Gertrude, and renowned German author Mirjam Pressler, these findings weave an indelible, engaging, and endearing portrait of the family that shaped Anne Frank. They wrote to one another voluminously; recounted summer holidays, and wrote about love and hardships. They reassured one another during the terrible years and waited anxiously for news after the war had ended. Through these letters, they rejoiced in new life, and honored the memories of those they lost.
