Anne Frank Remembered

Anne Frank Remembered (1995) Documentary. Directed by Jon Blair. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh. Diary read by Glenn Close. This movie tells the moving story of the young Jewish girl who, with her family, hid from the Nazis for two years in a house in Holland, and who famously kept a diary of her thoughts while in hiding.

Remarkably, Anne's father, Otto, survived the camps and lived until 1979. Anne, her sister Margot, and her mother all perished in the camps. The movie tells its story in German, Dutch and English, with highly legible English subtitles. Grade: A-
