About
The inspiring and heartbreaking true story of two best friends torn apart and reunited against all odds.
When Hannah Pick-Goslar's family fled Nazi Germany for Amsterdam, she struck up a close friendship with her next-door neighbour; precocious, outspoken and fun-loving Anne Frank. Hannah instantly warmed to happy-go-lucky Anne and for seven blissful years, the inseparable pair navigated school, boys and coming of age in Amsterdam's Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood.
But in 1942, life quickly changed for the thirteen-year-old girls. The Nazi occupation of Amsterdam meant the friends were separated without warning. Hannah called on Anne, but there was no trace of her friend or her precious diary. Hannah was tormented over the fate of Anne, wondering if, by some stroke of fortune she had escaped danger and was alive and well elsewhere.
It wasn't until Hannah reached her darkest point, imprisoned with her family in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, that she had an astonishing chance reunion with Anne. Desperate to save her friend who was weak and struggling to survive, Hannah risked everything to toss packages filled with food and clothes over a barbed-wire fence.
Hannah only learned of Anne's death after her liberation, when Otto Frank came to visit her in hospital. From that day, Otto became a second father to Hannah, making sure that she was always looked after
In this groundbreaking memoir, Hannah Pick-Goslar shares an intimate portrait of Anne Frank, the young Jewish diarist who has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world.

Goodbye darkness, my old friend!
South Africans are pretty much the warmest and friendliest people on the planet. We have the remarkable ability to laugh at ourselves, and make the most of even the most challenging situations.
We're more than halfway through 2023, and our favourite pastime is still cooking meat on an open flame outside, even in sub-degree weather. We say "Ag, ja no shame!" for everything, we invented gumboot dancing, and if there's one sound we hate more than the hadeda, it's a notification about loadshedding.
Speaking about that last point, we know. We get it. But all we can do is our typical South African best to make the most of it, which is why our main deal 500Wh Cube Nova Power Station from Ellies is just what you need to keep your good humour - and the lights - fully powered!
