Treasures From The Attic – The Extraordinary Story Of Anne Frank’s Family – Mirjam Pressler – Biography: Historical, Political & Military
Written by Mirjam Pressler, Treasures from the Attic The Extraordinary Story of Anne Franks Family reads like a novel, but in fact draws on recently discovered letters, documents and photographs to paint a vivid picture of life for the Frank family in Nazi-occupied Germany. An epic, fateful family saga, this superbly written historical account reveals the stark truths of the Holocaust, contrasting as it does the normality of family life and the horrors of persecution.
