Publisher's Synopsis
Otto Frank was the father of the most famous young woman of the twentieth century. His discovery of Anne's diary after the war secured her legend. It also secured Otto's own fame as a quietly heroic, ideal father figure. Yet the full story of Otto Frank has never been told. Born into a prosperous German Jewish family, a decorated German soldier in the First World War, Otto was the model of a fully assimilated European Jew. The horrors that were to befall him and his family were beyond imagining, his subsequent recovery from them extraordinary. Carol Ann Lee tells the deeply moving story of this remarkable man. She also solves the final mysteries surrounding the family's period in hiding.
