Researching of the destiny of some Jews"s families hiding from nazists with Anne Frank. This is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding survived to become a man. This is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory.
In her novel, The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank, she imagines a man who suffers a mental break at the mere sight of Anne"s published diary. Ellen Feldman was fascinated by the idea that Peter might have survived the Holocaust and decided to write a book about how his life might have turned out.. By the time she discovered her guide had been misinformed (according to a Dutch Red Cross dossier, Peter died in Mauthausen concentration camp on the 5th of may 1945, just 3 days before its liberation), the character had already formed in her head. There is no direct evidence that Peter perished in the Nazi death camps---although this has been assumed by all who knew him, including Otto Frank---so Feldman has taken this supposition and built a fictional life around it. After an encounter with an Immigration-officer who mistakes him for a gentile he realizes how easy it would be to change his whole personality, he wouldn"t even have to lie, all he had had to do was keep quiet.
