As I was sitting at my desk I looked at the bookcase to my left and happened to see this book. It’s one of so many I hadn’t added to my Goodreads shelves and it reminds me of how traumatic it will be to have to give up most of my books. I should have spent the last more than 12 years on Goodreads adding more of my owned books.

This one is a gem. It’s a must read/view for readers interested in Anne Frank and/or the Holocaust. There are so many great photos. As the book title indicates, they’re of Anne and those she knew and of the world in general, what was happening as she grew up, not quite of course given that she died at only 15 years old. The accompanying text is also great. I just looked through the book a bit so I could write something down about the book and not only rate it.

Apparently I read it in conjunction with an exhibit by the same name, as I have brochures from an exhibit in Marin Country, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from where I live/lived in San Francisco. Books are great for keeping memories. I'll look through this more carefully before I give it up. ( )
