Description

In this moving memoir, Bergen-Belsen survivor Hannah Pick-Goslar shares incredibly powerful words on the final untold portrait of her childhood friend, Anne Frank. THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Heartbreaking and life-affirming' - Edith Eger, bestselling author of The Choice 'An extraordinary story of love, loss and the power of friendship in the darkest time.' - Jack Fairweather, Costa prizewinning author of The Volunteer 'As a girl I witnessed the world I loved crumble and vanish, destroyed by senseless hatred, and with it, my best friend Anne.' When five-year-old Hannah Pick-Goslar and her family fled Nazi Germany to live in Amsterdam, she soon struck up a friendship with a precocious, outspoken and fun-loving girl named Anne Frank. For several blissful years, the girls were inseparable, navigating school, boys and coming of age. Then, one day in 1942, the two best friends' lives were about to change forever. As the Nazi occupation intensified, Anne and the Frank family vanished. As Hannah puzzled over the fate of her friend, hoping she was safe, her own family's fate began to unfold- they were captured and taken to Westerbork transit camp, before being transported to Bergen-Belsen. Amid horrific conditions and surrounded by death, Hannah heard astonishing news about her dear friend and risked her life to help her. In an incredible memoir of hope, strength and defiance, Hannah's story of survival against all odds is testament to the enduring power of friendship, love and remembering.

After the Nazi occupation of Europe intensified, in 1943, Hannah and her family were arrested and sent to Westerbork transit camp, before being transported to Bergen-Belsen. Hannah survived 14 months of horrific conditions and hardship before the camp was liberated in 1945. She emigrated to British Mandate Palestine in 1947 and trained as a nurse. Once retired, Hannah enjoyed the company of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She passed away in 2022 at the age of 93.
