Details the friendship of Anne Frank and Jacqueline van Maarsen during the terrible Holocaust times in the Netherlands.
When Jacqueline met Anne on her way home from school in the 1940s, the two girls formed an instant friendship.

Despite the impending war, the friendship between Anne Frank and Jacqueline van Maarsen would never be broken, even when Anne was forced into hiding.
