Anne Frank Remembered

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

She found Anne Frank's diary and brought the world a message of love and hope.

For more than two years, Miep Gies and her husband helped hide the Franks from the Nazis. Like thousands of unsung heroes of the Holocaust, they risked their lives each day to bring food, news, and emotional support to the victims. From her own remarkable childhood as a World War I refugee to the moment she places a small, red-orange, checkered diary -- Anne's legacy -- in Otto Frank's hands, Miep Gies remembers her days with simple honesty and shattering clarity. Each page rings with courage and heartbreaking beauty.

Good book, with a strong voice.

It is good to hear prospective other than that of Anne, that is attached to the same story line.

good book

must read for all those wanting to learn and the holocaust. good story line. keeps the reader wanting to listen.

So informative

I loved this audiobook. I learned so much. I have read so many WW2 and Holocaust survivor books and I would highly recommend it.

A Fast Reading Could-Not-Put-It-Down book

This book is a great companion to the Anne Frank Diary, seeing a fresh perspective of Anne. Not only did this memoir provide a glimpse, but a significant contribution was made by writing this book to fill in the gaps of what was taking place outside the Annex, that Anne could not have known about. The memoir also continues on where Anne's diary abruptly stops which is absolutely invaluable for a reader of Anne's Diary. In fact, I plan on reading Anne's Diary again, since it's been more than 40 years. Because of that interval, reading Ms. Miep's memoir was still suspenseful to a degree because I had forgotten the exact circumstances that led to the Frank Family and others leaving with the Germans. Also, I didn't realize that there was more time between their capture and the end of the war; it was more lengthy than I thought. I remembered it being just a week or so when, in reality, it was more like the war ended weeks after their demise in the camps; which seems to be a more common thread in the holocaust literature I have read.This book took me 2 days to listen to (I was making curtains)I was so captivated.

Fascinating story..great narration

I have never read the diary of Anne Frank but I still loved this book. You definitely do not need to have read the diary. Barbara Rosenblat once again does a fantastic job of making the story come to life.

Amazing!

Great voice and transmission of feeling by the narrator, great story, great way of bringing facts together.... Beautiful piece, I recommend 100%

Epochal

Among the most important stories of the last hundred years. Week told, well documented, well performed.

Very interesting companion book...

or to be listened to/read in isolation. The narrator is excellent and gives a feeling that Miep is actually speaking to you. It is great to hear the rest of the story from an eye witness. Miep gives a different view of the famous story and creates a melieu that will cause you to cry in sympathy. A great story.

Anne Frank story told from perspective of Miep!

I always knew Miep Gies was an incredible woman. Now I know she wasn't just taking care of the Franks et. al. She and her husband Jan had many other "projects" they were protecting. Barba Rosenblat's voice was perfect for this. Lovely read, hated for it to end, even thought subject matter painful and difficult.

Phenomenal! Thank You Meip!

This audio book is one of the best! Very inspiring and incredibly detailed. My heart is full with love and pain for the Frank family and all that we learned about in this story.
