While their families were hidden together in the secret annex in Amsterdam, Anne Frank’s young friend Peter confided to her that if he got out alive, he would reinvent himself entirely.  But no historical record has ever revealed his fate.  This book is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding had survived to become a man, a story that encompasses the inescapability of the past, the power of Anne Frank’s diary, and the strange world of memory that engulfed Peter when it was published and he found he was in it.

The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence.
