About this listen

The Diary of Anne Frank is read and loved by children throughout the world. Yet few of those readers know what life was really like for the young Jewish girl before and after she wrote her famous diary.

Written in a lively yet sympathetic style, Anne Frank’s Story follows Anne Frank from her birth in Germany and her happy childhood in Amsterdam through the years she and her family spent in hiding from the Nazis, to her imprisonment and eventual death in the concentration camps.

“This book gives children the opportunity to meet Anne Frank, to know her story and her destiny, and to learn that discrimination in every form is evil and inhuman.” - Buddy Elias, first cousin to Anne Frank

Carol Ann Lee was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1969. She began work on a biography of Anne Frank when she was 18 years old, but she put it aside while she attended college at Manchester University. In 1998 her book Roses from the Earth: The Biography of Anne Frank was published to critical acclaim. Anne Frank’s Story is her second book. Carol Ann Lee is married and lives in Amsterdam.

Wonderfully written and narrated!
Listed in one sitting with my 9 year old prior to reading Ann Frank's Diary itself. The book gave detailed, concise and captivating account of Anne's extraordinary life without taking away from future reading of the diary. Really helped set the scene and provide understanding and context for my 9 year old of Anne's life.
Highly recommend for all ages!

It was an amazing story but very sad and I could not put it down. Really recommended even for anyone who does not enjoy history. Everything shocked me of how they were treated and it was great to know a lot of detail about her life leading up to her tragic death!

Even though this story has a sad outcome, it is nevertheless very well adapted for children. The glossary at the end of the book is good as well.
Well narrated. A bit annoying and discerning is the comment relating to the authenticity of the diary! Good that it is mentioned. There are people who dispute the existence of concentration camps and gas chambers, so I shouldn't be surprised that there are doubters out there...sad but not surprised.

Excellent adaptation
