Friend of Anne Frank shares her memories

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 5 July 2023

The world knows Anne Frank as a precocious teenager who never gave up hope, despite hiding  from the Nazis during the Holocaust in a secret apartment in Amsterdam.

Hannah Pick-Goslar knew her as the girl next door  and co-conspirator in the  pranks they pulled on the adults before the war. The two would both end up in the same concentration camp.

Hannah survived, and just before she died, she worked on a book about her time with Anne before the diary with journalist Dina Kraft. Kraft's family survived the war by fleeing to New Zealand.

The book is called  My Friend Anne Frank: The Inspiring and Heartbreaking True Story of Best Friends Torn Apart and Reunited Against All Odds.
