Anne Frank Remembered

"While most are familiar with Anne Frank s diary, fewer remember the courage of the people who helped her family. Otto Frank s employee, Miep Gies, coordinated the hiding place and worked through her own exhaustion and terror to keep the family safe and supplied with food and company. Barbara Rosenblat speaks with Gies s own voice, bringing an impeccable Dutch flavor to her words and flawlessly pronouncing the many proper nouns of that challenging language. She effortlessly conveys Gies s pervading sense of sadness tinged with frustration, anger, and resentment at the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime. In the author s afterword, Rosenblat captures equally well Gies s acceptance and wonder at the way Anne s story captured the heart of the world. Rosenblat s performance easily captured ours."
