I've been sitting here for a while and I just don't know where to begin. This is a precious book and it is hard to put into words how important it is and how well done it is. I am thoroughly impressed. It will be a great introduction to Anne Frank for many and will hopefully lead them to want to learn more about her and the injustices that happened during WWII.

This book was the graphic interpretation of Anne Frank's life in a Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. It was very insightful as it gave a complete biography of her life, her parents lives, and the continuation of her diary after she died. Having read her actual diary translated in English, I thought this book was a great way to really understand what Anne was going through. The pictures added to the emotions connected to the story as a visual representation of the strife Anne was going through. This book...more

This is a graphic novel version of Anne Frank's experiences living in hiding during WWII that is a little off the mark. I had never read Frank's story before, so that could be part of why I had a hard time getting into the book, but I don't really think that's the problem. The book was indeed text heavy and a little hard to read since there wasn't a clear reading pattern to the pages and images. I had to stop and reread pages to make things make sense, which slowed down the reading and made ever...more

Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House" by Sid Jacobson was a child's version of the diary of Anne Frank.

I found this book to be very interesting and very easy to read. It was written in a comic book style which would make it an easy read for children and provides visuals for them to follow.

Beginning with the marriage of Anne Frank’s parents, Edith and Otto Frank, and ending with Otto Frank’s survival and publication of his daughter’s diary, Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon depict the life of Anne Frank, the horrific events of the Holocaust, and the legacy that Anne Frank and her family leave behind. As a child, Anne Frank was a charming, smiley, free-spirited girl whose laugh had the ability to bring “sunshine” to those around her. As she grew older, Anne Frank’s passion for life and learning stayed strong even through the difficult economic times brought on by the Depression. Later, the threats that Nazi Germany brought to the Frank family forced them to move to Amsterdam. It was here and on her thirteenth birthday that Anne Frank received her favorite present: a diary. When Margot Frank, Anne’s older sister, received a call-up notice to report for a “work camp” in Germany, the very next day the Frank family went into hiding. It was in her hiding that Anne Frank shared her thoughts and fears of the war, her hopes of peace, and her dreams of one day becoming a famous writer. Anne Frank had no idea that the writings in her diary would one day reach and inspire people all over the world.

Literary Merits
Jacobson and Colon weave a rich narrative with historical details in this graphic biography. The reader can appreciate the care and time that the authors put into not only creating the graphic novel, but also in researching events of the war and Holocaust, and gathering information on the Frank family through the help of many individuals at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. The impact of this careful research can be observed through the detailed maps, visuals, and statistics represented in each of the historical “snapshots” that are woven through the text. In the midst of reading the Frank family storyline, these helpful “snapshots” provide the reader with a perspective of the larger historical events taking place in Nazi Germany. By inviting the reader to examine the Holocaust through both broad and narrow lenses, the authors give the reader an opportunity to gain a deeper and more holistic understanding of this tragedy.

Classroom Recommendations
This text can appeal to both teenagers (13 and up) as well as an adult audience. High school students learning about the complexities of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust may find this graphic biography to be a helpful supplemental text. English and History classrooms may find the best use of this text. In an English classroom, I can see this text being paired with some excerpts from Anne Frank’s diary. Students may analyze and discuss themes of empathy, family and community relationships, discrimination, hatred, violence, etc... the list goes on. Students can also analyze Anne Frank’s writing and apply some of her techniques in their own, possibly through writing a memoir. Jacobson and Colon’s graphic biography includes several quotes from Frank’s diary, portraying her writing abilities: “I feel like a songbird whose wings have been ripped off, hurling itself against the bars of its dark cage” (102).

Shelves: graphic-nonfiction

In many ways, this graphic biography was easier to read than Anne Frank's original diary. One reason was that she was still learning her craft as a writer. The other is that, very reasonably, her writings included her biases as a young teen girl. Everything is filtered through those. The book does draw upon Anne Frank's writing, though, and focuses on her desire to become a writer, and how this led to the diary.
The graphic biography uses an exterior viewpoint, and can maintain a somewhat more ob...more

The Diary of Anne Frank was one of the first books I remember reading that left a significant impression on me. This version of her story is equally moving. It goes beyond the diary, including the family's history as well as the events leading up to the war and during the war. Also included is how Otto Frank brought her words to the world. All this is done in the format of graphic nonfiction that is well researched and respectfully presented by its authors.

We all know about how she hid with her family and four others in a secret annex in Netherlands during the infamous Holocaust, for two years. Whether or not we have actually read or loved her diary, none of us would deny that she went through a harrowing experience - just as million other Jews, victimized simply because of their faith. But in so many ways, Anne has become a symbol of that period chiefly because she was just fifteen when she died (murdered is what I like to say, even if it was disease that eventually claimed her), and also because she recorded her stay in the annex in her diary, which has already been read by millions.

That said, when I first read and loved Anne Frank's Diary two years back, the most common sentiment I heard expressed among those who didn't rate it highly was that the book felt too "immature". In other words, it read like any fifteen year old's diary - with all the typical squabbles, complaints, teenage infatuations/crushes/desires and worldly wisdoms. It seemed anticlimactic or too flat considering all the hype around it. I know many who tried to read it as any diary and eventually gave up. Most people loved it though, and what particularly struck me about the diary was that it was the manifestation of the dreams and desires of a girl (like any other girl), who never got to experience them, because of a man-made tragedy.

From that perspective, this graphic nonfiction is a really excellent accompaniment to the diary. Many have attested that when reading Anne's diary, it is really crucial to be in Anne's position - trapped for two years in an annex with just a single bathroom and not much privacy; a young girl at the cusp of those years when she is discovering herself, every single day - the age at which any girl or boy wants to experiment with a lot of things, including love and all the desires it invokes. Add another family to that annex, a family you now had to live with for two years, or rather for an unknown amount of time.

In Anne's diary, the events following their capture are chronicled in the Afterword section of the edition I read - who died and how, who survived. This book actually shows the events. Pictures can have a more powerful effect on the reader, and it did so in this case. Did you know that Anne and her sister died just weeks before rescue arrived at their camp? If she had been rescued, her diary might never have seen the light of day. But at least the world would not have missed having such a remarkable woman in its midst.

I felt that this book was really well-done. I read in an interview (whose link I can't find now) that the drawings of the characters, their attires and even the layouts of the annex strongly resemble the original characters and their hideout. Towards the end of the book when everyone is captured, they all look so different from their original selves - malnutrition, disease and fatigue eating out their muscle and body mass quickly. That's something I can never get used to - all those horrific images of the camps and their inmates. How could humans be so callous? I knew before I started, thanks to Ash, that this book is not a duplicate of Anne's diary. Instead, it covers a significant period before and after Anne starts writing her diary. That's really helpful because it puts Anne's diary in context much better than the diary itself does. Suddenly, the events seem much more harrowing, more scary, vivid and dangerous than how Anne says it. And after reading this graphic book, when I recollect some of the entries from Anne's diary, I see them in a much different light.(less)

The story is depicted in comic book form, and illustrated very realistically what life was like for the Frank family, along with the other families in hiding.
CRITIQUE: I used the criteria for Informational books and Biographies when I was reading this graphic novel. Based on the criteria list, this book had a good rating, in my opinion. It was accurate and authentic in stating the documented information, and added in other historical information about WWII; it was not strictly about Anne Frank. I also liked the organization of the information; everything was in order, including what was going on in the war at the same time as what was going on with the families in hiding. I think that the design of the book is very appealing to children because it is written like a comic book, so it allows the children to learn while at the same time allows the children to not feel like they are reading a history book. I also feel like the author was enthusiastic about the topic. You can tell that there was a lot of time spent on creating this graphic novel.
RESPONSE: I found this book very interesting and informational. I have never read The Diary of Anne Frank, but I have seen the movie. I also find WWII and the Holocaust very interesting and have always loved learning about it. This book allowed me to learn a lot about Anne and her family without having to read her actual diary. The images also added to the interest level that I had. The pictures look like comic book pictures, but the characters look like real people, and I liked that the faces matched the real family and people that were being depicted. I could use this graphic novel in the classroom for older children if I wanted to do a unit on World War II. It is not dry like a textbook, but the information is the same as what I have read before about the Holocaust.

I wanted to convey how deeply it affected me, so reading it again was the logical step. It moved me more the second time than the first.

Jacobson and Colon wrote a graphic book adaptation of the 9-11 Commission report titled After9/11: America's war on Terror. They also teamed up to write Che: A Graphic Biography. They came to write and illustrate anne frank The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic Biography with acclaim and experience behind them. The use of language from the original diary juxtaposed with meticulous research ( they worked closely with a group of experts ) makes this reading of the Holocaust experience feel more immediate than anything I've read. Each page was checked and rechecked for authenticity and accuracy.

Opening the first page, I learned about Otto Frank, Anne's father. Lieutenant Frank fought in the first World War and was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class for his service. The graphic images with simple language tell a profoundly moving tale of how his mother and sister volunteered as nurses. He fought bravely and with great love for his country. In one graphic it presents the image of a ship going down in flames with the boxed numbers beside it stating that about "96,00 Jewish soldiers fought for Germany in World War I. Twelve thousand of them were killed, 21,00 were promoted to officers and 35,00 were decorated." No more information was furnished. It stood alone as a strong statement.

The artwork was created digitally in a paperless studio. Jacobson and Colon created poignant visuals of eight people living in hiding in an eight hundred square foot area, keeping quiet by day, barely moving or speaking for fear of someone hearing them through the walls, beyond the bookcase that hid the entrance to their hiding place. They were normal human beings with all of the whims, frailties and emotions that can baffle and bemuse those around them. Anne's a normal young girl entering puberty with all of the novelty that goes with it. On one page there are six cells showing the hideaways singularly doing necessary chores: hand washing clothes, hanging them to dry, kneeling silently to clean the floors and Anne writing in her diary. One cell leaps out with startling emotion. It's the only one with words on the page. Anne stands on on step thinking "I feel like a songbird whose wings have been ripped off...hurtling itself against the bars of its dark cage." Half of the cell consists of a yellow bird with its mouth open wide making me think of The Scream.

I encourage those who find reading about the horrors of the Holocaust to be difficult and heart wrenching to read this one. Each page is filled with beautifully crafted graphics with dress and surroundings accurately depicted for the era. The conversation among the Franks and their friends gives a sense of the everyday quality of their lives until the inevitable hand of Nazism reaches for them and they must hide or go into a camp. I find the significance of information blocked into the cells stating what was going on outside of their lives to give a sinister scope, yet an accurate one, of how world events can be hurtling toward horrific events while everyday people live their lives.

A spoiler is impossible. All of us know how the story ends. When Otto, the lone Frank family member to survive, searches for his children and receives word that his daughters, Margot and Anne, have died the graphic and the words speak of the pain with their simplicity. A black background with a shadowed brown and grey face, tortured eyes and a single white tear look from the page into our eyes. A single sentence speaks volumes "...Margot and Anne are not coming back."

A last point about the book - for all of us, the Holocaust is a disturbing time but for younger children it's especially difficult to explain. I certainly cannot give a valid explanation beyond the usual lines that we find in history books. This finely illustrated and written graphic book raises issues of intolerance and prejudice to a younger audience in a way that they can at least know the impact bigotry can have on everyday people like the Franks.

I highly recommend this book!(less)
