When the Frank family went into hiding, they spread the rumour they had gone to Switzerland. Hannah never had a chance to say goodbye to her best friend at that time. They did talk to one another a couple more times in the Bergen-Belsen Concentration camp through the wire at night. Anne's father, Otto, played a role in Hannah's survival at the war' conclusion.

I will read anything about Anne Frank that I can get my hands on as she has been my idol for a very long time. Learning intimate details of her life growing up made me better understand Anne as a person. Hearing the details of Hannah's time in the concentration camps made me better understand the conditions that people underwent while the Frank family was in hiding for 25 months. This is a book I will be adding to my personal library.

Hannah Goslar was Anne Frank’s best friend before the Holocaust. This book includes some of her memories of Anne, in addition to her own memories of that time. She and her family remained in Amsterdam (not in hiding) much longer than Anne, but her family also ended up in a couple of
It’s written quite simply and it’s short, so it is a fast read; I believe it is meant as YA. There were even some photographs of Hannah’s (that she managed to hold on to through and after the war) that included Hannah, her family, and photos with Anne. There wasn’t as much about Anne, specifically as I’d hoped, but that’s ok. What was there was interesting, as well as learning about Hannah and her family’s experiences.
