A Friend Called Anne

Jacqueline van Maarsen met Anne Frank in 1941, and the two girls quickly became best friends. A Friend Called Anne details their relationship and reveals Anne as who she in fact was: a typical, fun-loving girl. The book also shares Jacqueline's own chilling experience of narrowly escaping Nazi deportation thanks to her Catholic mother. But survival meant helplessly watching Jewish friends and family disappear one by one.
