This book had a profound impact on me when I read it as a youngster. If we ever forget the horrors of the Holocaust this is one book that will bring it back. It tells the true story of the author's hiding (with her family) from the Nazis for 2 years. They could not go outside, they couldn't even move during the day for fear someone in the offices downstairs would hear them and report them. And then the diary comes to an abrupt end because someone did report them.

I visited the building where Anne lived for those two years when I was in Amsterdam. The upstairs apartments have been left just as they were when the Nazis came. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life.

This will be released for the What's My Name challenge.

RELEASE NOTES:

I hope to leave this book at the War Memorial or someplace nearby to recognize the lead up to Remembrance Day.
