THE SUNDAY TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A standalone classic
. . . An incredible book, remarkable for its unflinching gaze at
the past and also for its hope' GUARDIAN, 'Books to Give You Hope'
'Remarkable . . . Makes it clear just what an achievement it was
starting over again, when survivors were not only economically and
physically depleted, but emotionally devastated, too' SCOTSMAN Eva
was arrested by the Nazis on her fifteenth birthday and sent to
Auschwitz. Her survival depended on endless strokes of luck, her
own determination and the love and protection of her mother Fritzi,
who was deported with her. When Auschwitz was liberated, Eva and
Fritzi began the long journey home. They searched desperately for
Eva's father and brother, from whom they had been separated. The
news came some months later. Tragically, both men had been killed.
Before the war, in Amsterdam, Eva had become friendly with a young
girl called Anne Frank. Though their fates were very different,
Eva's life was set to be entwined with her friend's for ever more,
after her mother Fritzi married Anne's father Otto Frank in 1953.
This is a searingly honest account of how an ordinary person
survived the Holocaust. Eva's memories and descriptions are
heartbreakingly clear, her account brings the horror as close as it
can possibly be. But this is also an exploration of what happened
next, of Eva's struggle to live with herself after the war and to
continue the work of her step-father Otto, ensuring that the legacy
of Anne Frank is never forgotten.

end there. / This incredible memoir recounts without bitterness or
hatred the horrors of war, the love between mother and daughter,
