- Summary:
- Witness the growth of a naive, frightened young boy into a smart, resilient and yet sensitive survivor. Painting a picture of the unfolding events in Amsterdam during Anne Frank's time in hiding, Lex's memoir is vivid and often horrific, but ultimately it is a poignant snapshot of humanity in its darkest moments. AUTHOR: Lex Lesgever is the young Jewish boy whose story is unraveled within the book, a tough, resilient individual. After his ordeal in Amsterdam during the war, he spent forty years living in Leiden where he devoted himself to the Jewish community. He died on New Year's Eve, 2019.
