Charting 400 years of European history, this is the astonishing true story of the Anne Frank House, beautifully illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.In the middle of Amsterdam stands a tall, narrow house on a canal. Over the course of four centuries the house has been a home to many – from poor families to wealthy couples, and those hiding from persecution.

Recensioner i media

Readers will emerge simultaneously awed by the passage of time and personally affected by the stories told. Teckentrup overlays her bright, exquisitely detailed sepia-toned depictions of the house and its environs with a misty haze; the result are hauntingly beautiful. Deeply moving, powerful, and breathtaking."
