Welcome to Litsy!

Interested to watch this one as I just finished the book. #page2screen

Another memoir that NEEDS to be added to EVERY school curriculum. Heartbreaking and immersive. Gorgeous narration. I‘m always amazed how people can endure and ultimately thrive after suffering & experiencing such horror. As I sat in my living room with tears running down my face,my son wanted to know “why I torture myself” and I responded “until my last breath I will bear witness and share these stories so that the next generation #NeverForgets

THIS BOOK 😭😭😭😭😭

I have to confess I never have read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, but I plan to correct that omission whenever my hold comes in at the library. The strange thing is that I know I have had a print copy for years and never read it. And now it‘s boxed up. But Hannah‘s story is compelling. There are happy times but they are overshadowed by what we as readers know is coming. This book is for #TBRTarot, a book with a name in the title.

This book is simply perfect. It is the story of Holocaust survivor Hannah Pick-Goslar, a childhood best friend of Anne Frank. Anyone can read this book. If you‘re unfamiliar w/ the history, the book provides that but doesn‘t feel like you‘re reading a history book. It is completely compelling! You follow Hannah as she moves to Amsterdam & meets the Franks & life as war goes on. As conditions worsen, the Franks disappear 1 day & Hannah & her family

We were sad to learn today of the death of Hannah Pick-Goslar at the age of 93.
Hannah, or Hanneli as Anne called her in her diary, was one of Anne Frank‘s best friends; they had known each other since kindergarten. They became close friends and were always in and out of each other‘s houses.
Hannah recounted: ‘My mother described Anne Frank well. She said: “God knows everything, but Anne knows better.”‘
