Intro to Anne Frank: A Hidden Life by Mirjam Pressler

                                                               The Liberation

                           "One day we shall be human beings again and not just Jews"




                                    Describe the author's style?


        Mirjam Pressler uses two men who endured and survived the Holocaust to show what the liberation of the concentration camps were like. The first man Otto Wolken, a Jewish doctor whose experiences are used by Pressler to describe the final days of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Pressler then transitions to Anne Frank's father Otto to describe the gloomy but at times hopeless times after the liberation. Pressler also added a small number after a word or phrase in which at the bottom she adds extra information on the subject.
