Two best friends saw their lives change forever, neither will ever be forgotten... "As a girl, I witnessed the world I loved collapse and disappear, destroyed by needlessness intolerance, and with it, my best friend Anna." When Hannah's family escapes from the Nazis to Amsterdam, she soon develops a friendship with a girl just like her, who had just arrived from Germany. Smart and expressive, the girl's name is Anne Frank and for seven happy years the inseparable pair navigates school, boys, and the challenges of growing up. But one day in 1942, as the Nazi occupation intensifies, they are separated without warning. Hannah searches for Anna but cannot find a trace of her, the breakfast dishes still in the sink, the beds unmade. She is told that the Franks have gone to Switzerland. As Hannah is tormented by her friend's fate, hoping she's alive and well elsewhere, her own family's fate unfolds. After escape attempts, the SS finally come for them and take them to the Westerbork concentration camp. Eventually, Hannah, her father, and her younger sister Gabi are transported to Bergen-Belsen. Amidst horrific conditions with death around her, it is during her darkest moment in the concentration camp that she hears incredible news about Anna. Desperate to save her friend who is weak and struggling to survive, Hannah risks her life to help her. In a singular tribute to hope, strength, and resistance, Hannah shares the intimate, cherished portrait of her friendship with the young diarist who would capture the hearts of millions of people worldwide.
