Anne Frank: Beyond the Diary - A Photographic Remembrance
By Rian Verhoeven
This book gives much more insight into How Anne Frank lived and more history about her living conditions during the war. There are many really wonderful pictures of the secret Annex where Anne, her family and several others
This book is very touching and makes Anne's death even more devastating, while making the years she was alive, even more precious.
An Excellent book!!

I loved reading the Diary of Anne Frank in elementary school. When I read this book I thought it brought her story to life. The photos and documents really put into perspective how she lived not just her emotions of the war. In this book you can see more pictures and have a visual of her story. I

would use this in a classroom along with the Diary of Anne Frank when teaching the Holocaust. Also you can look at this book when doing an art project with students on how pictures alone can tell such a wonderful story with no words. I would recommend reading this and using it in a classroom.

Speaking as someone who has yet to read the diary (I will, I will!) this was still a great overview of what became the phenomenon that is Anne Frank. It adequately personalizes her story and places her as one among many victims and diarists of German atrocities during WWII. Of course hers is the

one that became most famous, and only a reading of the diary itself will demonstrate why. This book, meanwhile, also offers a good overview of general events of the time, while providing the Anne Frank timeline and wonderful supplemental photographs. Show Less

Small book with information and photos that explain 'the rest of the story.' Somber.

Wonderful! I read this one with my ten year old. The pictures help in making Anne seem more realistic and show you her life before it was invaded by tragedy. Truly helpful to those who have read the diary but wish to know more. Recommended!

I would use this book as a way to introduce my class to Anne Frank, before reading The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank Beyond the Diary is a quintessential collection of source material that creates the world of 1940s Europe. It has everything that one might look for when studying a subject in

depth: scans from the diary, scans of Anne’s fiction writing, photographs of the secret hiding place, family photographs, Nazi documents, maps, newspaper clippings, postcards, et cetera. It moves along more or less chronologically. With asides that give the reader insights into what was happening to the society outside of the Secret Annex. It would be a great companion to the diary. Ideally if the kids are reading the diary in their Language Arts class, they could be reading Beyond the Diary in a Social Studies class. Show Less

My Mom had me read this book years ago, and then I pulled it off the shelf for this class. This is a story of a terrible time in our worlds history and the experience of a girl and her family. It was hard to read/look at when I was younger this book was hard to digest, when I read/looked at it a

couple weeks ago it was still hard. This book was well written, it really paints a great picture. The pictures are very hard to see. Show Less
