The Frank Family That Survived
"An extraordinary tale of survival—part family memoir, part history—in which the author's passion and judgment are finely balanced. Gordon Sander's grandfather Myrtil Frank took his wife Flory and daughters into hiding in the Netherlands in July 1942, just as Otto Frank did at around the same time. . . . This book explains, in a way that Anne Frank could never have done, the context of what happened to her and others like her. It is an indispensable contribution to a dark subject. . . . Sander has produced a sensitive, insightful, and gripping tribute to their horrible ordeal."—Sunday Express"Excellent. . . . Gordon Sander gives a fascinating and moving account of the remarkable story of another Dutch family called Frank who also went into hiding in July 1942."—The Jewish News"Anyone who has thrilled to the story of Anne Frank will want to read this book. . . . The tensions roused by the gripping narrative reflect the complexities of war, history, and fate."—Arthur Schlesinger Jr."Gordon Sander's book will appeal to anyone who was moved by Anne's diary, answering as it does the oft-asked question of what might have become of Anne Frank had she survived. It also is beautifully written."—Carol Ann Lee, author of The Hidden Life of Otto Frank
