As children, Anne Frank and her cousin Buddy were very close; he affectionately dubbed her “the Rascal” and they visited and corresponded frequently. Years later, Buddy inherited a vast collection of photos, drawings, postcards, poems, and letters from Anne and her relatives that had lain unseen in their grandmother’s attic for decades. Now Buddy’s wife Gerti and renowned German author Mirjam Pressler have used these remarkable findings to bring a lost world to life and to tell the moving saga of a far-flung but close-knit family divided by unimaginable tragedy.
