Book Reviews of Inside Anne Frank's House: An Illustrated Journey Through Anne's World
Book Review: This book takes readers on a memorable tour of 263 Prinsengracht and Anne's world
Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved Anne Frank since I first read her diary as a 10-year-old almost thirty years ago. Someday, I hope to make the trip to the Netherlands and visit the place that served as her hiding place during those dark years of the Holocaust. Till then, this book serves as a reasonable substitute - readers get to take the same tour that visitors take on a physical tour of the house. Excerpts from the diary that are found in the house are also included, together with background information by Otto Frank (Anne's father), the museum directors, etc. There is also information pertaining to the diary and its publication.
The highlight of this book (for me) were the hundreds of archival photographs of Anne, her family, and friends in various settings, and of course of the Annex itself. Many are in black and white and there are some color photographs as well. The photographs are labeled in small text, though it's a pity that some appear to be erroneously labeled. The photographs paint a vivid portrait of Anne's history and life and made me weep for the tragedy of it all. This is a must have for anyone who is interested in the history of Anne Frank, her diary and the Holocaust. I would also recommend the following:

Summary of Inside Anne Frank's House: An Illustrated Journey Through Anne's World
For the 75th anniversary of Anne Frank's birth, an important publishing event - the first full-color visual book celebrating the legacy of Anne and her famous house. The photographs compiled here are in both black-and-white and color; they are vivid and moving, and make a lasting impression. The reader experiences the house and its relics, and sees photos of Anne's family and friends, the people who helped them and the changing Amstrerdam neighborhood where they lived.Photography Books
