‘POIGNANT’ TLS
The extraordinary story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex. Bep Voskuijl was only twenty-three years old when the Franks went into hiding, risking her life to protect them by supplying food and medicine right under the noses of German soldiers and Dutch spies. While Bep's friendship with Anne blossomed, her sister Nelly – whose name was removed from Anne's published diary – was collaborating with the Nazis. Long after the war, haunted by the loss of Anne, Bep is unable to rest from the chilling suspicion that she may have been betrayed by her own kin.
Written by Bep's son, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex is a gripping story of heroism, betrayal, and the crushing, devastating power of a secret.
‘Not only brings to life the quiet heroism of his mother’s contributions to Anne Frank’s story, but also the tragic unfolding of a family dysfunction, the agony of survival, and the ripples of trauma that flow through later generations’ Daily Telegraph
