Co-author Alison Leslie Gold has written several books about the Holocaust. She has enjoyed seeing Anne Frank Remembered translated into 19 languages in addition to winning the Best of the Best Award from the American Library Association in 1994.
From her own remarkable childhood as a World War I refugee to the moment she places a diary in Otto Frank's hands, Miep Gies remembers her days with simple honesty and shattering clarity.
Gies recalls how, during WW II, she, her husband and some of their coworkers sheltered her boss Otto Frank, his family and several other Jews in a secret annex of their Amsterdam office building. PW found that although Gold's retelling is ``disappointing,'' Gies's ``sincerity, humility and courage emerge . . . and will not fail to inspire.'' Photos. (May)
