The writing left a lot to be desired. There was a lot of filler material that just was not that interesting or it was a suggestion of this could have happened. Overall I liked the actual real story and wished the author would have left it at that.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Victor Kugler: The Man Who Hid Anne FrankBy William YoungloveThis book is very well researched; adds to the pantheon of information about those who helped the eight in the Annex survive for as long as they did. The work also reveals the type of person Kugler was; how he lived out his life; quite modestly; it seems. The crux of the work was interviews conducted over a few years; some added life details and a bit of repetition slows down the read just a bit.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
