Everyone knows about Anne Frank and her life hidden in the secret
annex - but what about the boy who was also trapped there with her?
In this powerful and gripping novel, Sharon Dogar explores what this
might have been like from Peter's point of view. What was it like to be
forced into hiding with Anne Frank, first to hate her and then to find
yourself falling in love with her? Especially with your parents and her
parents all watching almost everything you do together. To know you're
being written about in Anne's diary, day after day? What's it like to
start questioning your religion, wondering why simply being Jewish
inspires such hatred and persecution? Or to just sit and wait and watch
while others die, and wish you were fighting.
As Peter and Anne become closer and closer in their confined quarters,
how can they make sense of what they see happening around them?
Anne's diary ends on August 4, 1944, but Peter's story takes us on,
beyond their betrayal and into the Nazi death camps. He details with
accuracy, clarity and compassion the reality of day to day survival in
Auschwitz - and ultimately the horrific fates of the Annex's
occupants.
