Told by the grandson of the head of the family, this is the
gripping odyssey of another Frank family from the deceptively good
life of Berlin in the 1920s, through the rise of Hitler and their
flight to apparently safe Holland, the nightmarish ordeal of their
thousand-day-long "submersion" in a small apartment in The Hague,
to the joy and pain of liberation and their final journey to
America, the same route Anne Frank might have taken had she not
been betrayed. Based on personal testaments, records, and family
interviews, the book describes their life behind closed curtains in
constant fear of discovery. In 1945, after many adventures and
appalling vicissitudes, they finally emerged to face the
uncertainties of postwar Holland and the promise of the New World.
Both a history and a memoir, this extensively researched book gives
the first account of the war in Holland, the occupation, and the
resistance (including the Jewish resistance) to be published for
several years. Despite that resistance, and the help of the Dutch
citizens who sheltered their Jewish neighbors, most of Dutch Jewry
was destroyed.
