Aunque la familia Frank vivÃa dispersa por toda Europa; cada año; con la llegada del verano; se reunÃa en las montañas que rodean el lago Silser; en Suiza. Alice; la abuela de Ana Frank; esposa de un banquero; llevaba una vida acomodada en Frankfurt hasta que la familia tuvo que mudarse a Londres; Basilea y Amsterdam; lo cual selló el destino funesto de una parte de la estirpe. Hace un tiempo; en el desván de la casa de la Herbstgasse de Basilea donde reside Buddy Elias; el último primo vivo de Ana Frank; se encontraron miles de cartas; documentos y fotografÃas que sobre - vivieron; como por obra de un milagro; al turbulento siglo XX.Este extraordinario hallazgo ha permitido reconstruir trescientos años de historia de la familia de Ana Frank; desde la vida humilde de su tatarabuelo en el gueto de Frankfurt; pasando por el primer profesor universitario judÃo de Alemania; hasta el triste fin de Ana; Margot y su madre en los campos de concentración. Todo ha sido ordenado y editado por Gerti Elias; la esposa de Buddy; y a partir de este material; la escritora Mirjam Pressler ha recreado la historia de la familia. El resultado es una saga extraordinaria con episodios conmovedores que muestra que el legado de Ana Frank y su familia no termina en su diario.

What a man; what a book!By jane ehrlichExcellent biography rich in history. Great reading for anyone interested in the civil war; American politics; military history or leadership. It is also inspirational to those who may be having trouble finding their niche in life. And while the focus is Grant; other characters such as his wife; members of congress; and other military leaders are developed enough to also be of interest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Grant; Leadership; and Literary Artistry all in one.By George W. CommonsThis wonderful literary artistry portrays the most important American of all time in a very logical and analytical manner. Grant was the pivotal man in the United States of America. In his world there are only a very very few men who have made all the difference in the world. Grant was THE MAN of the United States of America. Grant saved everything. What Grant did is so amazing and so powerful it conjures great emotion on every page of this book. How the events unfolded and how Grant handled them is again aspiring to a very emotional point. Every single page of this fine story is priceless and demonstrates true leadership. Grant lead while others failed and this story spells it out. We are indebted to this fine author and forever God bless Ulysses S Grant. Every person wishing to understand leadership in its very purest form must read this book. Grant is the ultimate American leadership role model for all time. He made all the difference in the world. Every American is forever indebted to Grant.
