Ann Frank: Beyond the Diary

Rol, Ruud Van Der and Rian Verhoeven. (1992)Ann Frank: Beyond the Diary. A photographic Rememberance. Amsterdam: Anne Frank Stitching.

This is another book that focuses on the historical topic of the Holocaust. Like so many other novels about the Holocaust Anne Frank is the title character. This book is different from so many of the other books out there because this is a photo album that has pictures and captions of the many important places in Anne Frank's life. There are also maps from important places during this time in history. There is a little commentary about the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in Germany and the gradual process of weeding out Jews from Germany. The pictures in this book are captivating. Once you begin to look it is very difficult to stop looking until you have viewed every picture. An excellent resource in this book is the index of important people and places in the back that make finding what you are looking for a lot easier.
