Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A poignant account, vibrating with humanity.” Elie Wiesel, author of Night
“Beautifully written by a person who really cares for other human beings. Her simple style hypnotizes the reader.” Isaac Bashevis Singer
“A book of immaculate witness.” New York Times Book Review
“Gies’ sincerity, humility, and courage emerge from this simple testimony and will not fail to inspire readers.” Publishers Weekly
“Barbara Rosenblat speaks with Gies’ 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’ pervading sense of sadness tinged with frustration, anger, and resentment at the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime…Rosenblat captures equally well Gies’ acceptance and wonder at the way Anne’s story captured the heart of the world. Rosenblat’s performance easily captured ours.” AudioFile
“Anne Frank’s harrowing account is given a fresh perspective through the eyes of Miep Gies, who, with her husband and others, helped shelter the Frank family during their 25-month period in hiding…Speaking in proud, proper, and warm tones, Rosenblat narrates the memoir as told from Gies’ point of view. She easily affects just the right hint of a Dutch accent; difficult pronunciations of places and people roll off her tongue with ease, accuracy, and consistency. Anne’s youthful voice is full of energy and curiosity, while Otto maintains a modest, reserved, and calm demeanor in the face of tragedy…Highly valued for both its historical content and superb narration.” Booklist (starred audio review)
