Gr 3-7–It’s May 1940, and readers meet 10-year-old Anne Frank and her sister Margot on their walk home from school, while also learning about the rising Nazi influence in Germany that prompted the family to immigrate to Amsterdam when Anne was four. The Franks believed they would be safe in the neutral Netherlands and did not pursue other immigration opportunities while borders were still open to Jewish refugees.
