Anne Frank a graphic biography

Anne Frank: a graphic biography by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon

Drawing on the unique historical sites, archives, expertise, and unquestioned authority of the Anne Frank House Amsterdam, New York bestselling authors Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon have created the first authorized and exhaustive graphic biography of Anne Frank. Thier account is complete, covering the lives of Anne's parents, Edith and Otto; Anne's first years in Frankfurt; the rise of Nazism ; the Frank's immigration to Amsterdam; war and occupation ; Anne's years in the secret Annex ; betrayal and arrest ; her deportation and tragic death at Bergen-Belsen ; the survival of Anne's father ; and his recovery and publication of her astounding diary.

I was so impressed by the quality of the art work, it was like visiting Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. And the story was told in a way that fills in the spots in history with her personal narrative. Loved it and it would be a terrific introduction to The Diary of Anne Frank or a wonderful way to refresh your memory of such a powerful and tragic story.
