New book tells Anne Frank’s tale
The Life of Anne Frank, published by Macmillan books, aims to fill in many of the lesser known details about her, such as her life before she went into hiding, her arrest and how she was betrayed, the BBC’s Geraldine Coughlan reports.
Anne Frank and her family hid in a cramped secret annexe in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands for two years between 1942, when she was 13, and 1944. Her story and similar others like that of Helga Deen have captured the imagination for decades since they were discovered.
