Anne Frank, it has been said, gave a face and a name to the horror of the Holocaust. This is her story. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms - "the Annex" - in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months.

Not by inspiring crowds, but by outliving, outkilling, and outmaneuvering everyone in his path.

He turned fear into policy, propaganda into scripture, and loyalty into silence. This audiobook is not a tribute.

As restoration manager at Mount Vernon, Jordan Poole had keys to America's most sacred home. But preserving history meant confronting its ghosts—both literal and buried.

He was also an accomplished writer and wit, a doting father, inveterate gossip and consummate diplomat and strategist.
