It was a terrifying night one he would never forget. Before the end of the war he would hide in secret rooms and behind walls. He would suffer from hunger sickness and the looming threat of Nazi raids. But he would live.This is just one of the true stories told in Hidden Like Anne Frank  a collection of eye-opening first-person accounts that share the experience of going into hiding to escape the Holocaust. Some were just toddlers when they were hidden; some were teenagers. Some hid with neighbors or family while many were with complete strangers. But all know the pain of losing their homes their families even their own names. They describe the secret network that kept them safe. And they share the coincidences and close calls that made all the difference.
