“A treasure to hold and to read, created with great care and mission.” —Kirkus Reviews,
“…exemplary…this small and quietly compelling dutch import is filled with warm family and chilling historical photos that intimately chronicle the slide toward genocide….This thorough and thoughtful companion piece underscores Anne Frank’s importance as an unintended and enduring voice in the struggle against oppression." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Readers will be enthralled by the intimate details and by the ongoing mystery of who betrayed the family, and they will want to talk about the heartbreaking quote from Otto Frank, who, after reading the Diary, realized that he never knew his daughter.”— Booklist [STARRED]
“A treasure to hold and to read, created with great care and mission.”

Best Children’s Book of the Year, 2009 — Kirkus Reviews
“This beautifully designed, hand-size volume published in partnership with the Anne Frank House makes an ideal gift for any age admirer of Anne Frank. Photos of the interior and exterior… make the journey through this book the next best thing to a visit to what is now preserved as the Anne Frank House.” — Shelf Awareness
This extraordinary little book has a sky-high fascination factor. Most spectacular of all is the reproduction on nine wordless double-page spreads of actual pages from Anne’s diary…Eminently browsable, goosebump-inducingly immediate; a treasure for all those moved and inspired by Anne Frank’s story." — Horn Book Review
