Maarsen, Jacqueline Van My Name Is Anne, She Said, Anne Frank - The Memoirs of Anne Frank's Best Friend
London Arcadia 2007 1905147104 / 9781905147106 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good
A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. Translated from the Dutch by Hester Velmans. In 1938 the author's Dutch Jewish father succeeded in registering his French Catholic wife with the Jewish Council, and from that moment, his two daughters were also considered to be Jewish and as result were sent to a special school for Jewish children. It was at this school that Jacqueline and Anne Frank became fast friends, although Jacquelline managed to avoid Anne's fate thanks to her strong willed mother who persuaded the German Registration Bureau to undo her listing as a Jew. While the Frank family was forced into hiding, Jacqueline escaped deportation and left her school just a few months after her best friend 'had gone to Switzerland' as she had been led to believe. It was only when the war was over that she learned the truth and in this memoir tells the story of a fascinating and remarkable friendship and we finally get to meet the young girl Anne referred to in her diaries as her 'best friend'. 25 illustrations.
