I needed some down time before reviewing this book because I felt emotionally wrung out when I finished it.
My Friend Anne Frank is the most heartbreaking memoir I have read since The Diary of Anne Frank.
This is the account of two families of German Jews, the Franks and the Goslars, who flee Hitler's Germany, to settle in Amsterdam. When they meet at Kindergarten, Hannah and Anne become firm friends, as do the Frank and Goslar families, until the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands causes them to be separated. There is a brief reunion between Hannah and Anne, in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
The early chapters of the book give the reader an insight into what the young Anne Frank was like, and the life she led before she and her family went into hiding.
The account of Hannah's time in Bergen-Belsen is harrowing, and left me crying for the injustice of it all.
