With his diploma, he's also eligible for further technical training that can eventually place him in a very comfortable middle-class...

The roughly 80 documents, including considerable correspondence from Otto Frank to friends, family and officials, reveal just how desperately Mr. Frank-who survived the Holocaust-was trying to save his wife Edith, his mother-in-law Rosa Hollander and his daughters Margot and Anne...
