The Footsteps of Anne Frank by Ernst Schnabel

The essential companion to Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl. On August 1st 1944, Anne's diary ended abruptly. Three days later the Gestapo arrived and forcibly removed the family and sent them to Auschwitz and then Belsen. The millions who read her story, saw Anne as she portrayed herself. In this book Schnabel interviewed 42 of the people mentioned by Anne, including her father and many close relatives and friends. They tell the backstory of this hopeful girl and the story of her life in hiding.

At the age of 16, Ernst Schnabel (1913-1986) dropped out of school to sail across the world and become a writer. From 1932 to 1936, he worked as a sailor after completing an apprenticeship in the Merchant Navy. At the onset of WWII, he had published two novels and was immediately inducted into the German navy, where he continued to write. After the war, the British military gave Schnabel and a group of intellectuals permission to establish a new German broadcasting station. Schnabel was a pioneer of radio broadcasting and wrote novels, essays, a libretto, radio dramas, scripts, and documentaries.
