THE LONG-AWAITED, MOVING MEMOIR OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR HANNAH PICK-GOSLAR, WHO SHARES AN INTIMATE LOOK INTO HER LIFE AND FRIENDSHIP WITH ANNE FRANK.
'As a girl I witnessed the world I loved crumble and vanish, destroyed by senseless hatred, and with it, my best friend Anne'
Two best friends' lives were about to change for ever, neither would ever be forgotten...
When Hannah's family flee from the Nazis to Amsterdam, she soon strikes up a friendship with a girl just like her freshly arrived from Germany. Precocious and outspoken, the girl's name is Anne Frank and for seven blissful years the inseparable pair navigate school, boys and coming of age.
Then one day in 1942, as the Nazi occupation intensifies, they are separated without warning. Hannah calls on Anne and can't find a trace of her, breakfast dishes still in the sink, beds unmade. Anne and her family have seemingly vanished. They are told the Franks have fled to Switzerland.
As Hannah is tormented by the fate of her friend, hoping she is alive and well elsewhere, her own family's fate unfolds. After attempts to flee themselves, the SS finally come for them and they are taken to the transit camp Westerbork. Eventually Hannah, her father and younger sister Gabi are transported to Bergen-Belsen. Amid horrific conditions with death all around, it is during Hannah's darkest point at the concentration camp that she hears astonishing of news of Anne. Desperate to save her friend who is weak and struggling to survive, Hannah risks her life to help her.
In an incredible memoir of hope, strength and defiance, Hannah shares the intimate, loving portrait of her friendship with the young diarist who would go on to capture the hearts of millions around the world.

An eloquent and heart rending account of an important testimony
I am almost lost for words having finished this account. I feel I learnt so much through it and although profoundly moving it is uplifting in its celebration of life and hope. Beautifully articulated and eloquently spoken it gave me a glimpse of a time and people never to be forgotten.

excellent heart wrenching book!
if only it was all fictional, there aren't enough books in the world to explain what these people went through.

Incredibly moving
The book is hard to put down. Expertly narrated account that really brings home the horror of how this generation were robbed of their families and their youth.

Must Read
Amazing but heartbreaking story from Hannah Pick-Goslar. A very important story, although, moments to reflect and weep throughout are required.
