When I first read the DIARY, I desperately wanted to be Anne's friend. When I read it again, in Amsterdam, after only walking past the Annex, I wanted desperately to be her English teacher. She lived a full life within those confining walls, and she left a treasure for the world.

This graphic biography gives us background of the family and its place in the world, and adds enough current events for us to see the two tracks of the story which would collide.

The story is far more than just the DIARY, as it follows the families after their capture, and even gives us a suspect for the betrayal. How ironic that Peter and Anne and Margo died so close to the liberation of the camps.

We lost her, and all the potential she promised. But we have her DIARY which still inspires us all.
