It’s criminal that this film isn’t more known. Im so glad my English teacher showed it to us when I was in middle school. Such an important and incredible film
The whole sequence at 2:48:24 changed my life in highschool, i mean he got off the train and the only place he had to go was where his life was basically ended probably hoping anything he had ever known still remained with the snow and her looking down on him, and him explaining how he saw his friend give up and that he "lives in hope" when thinking about the girls only to go on to find out they were killed, beyond powerful.
I to read this book in secondary school, it is very emotional as like the documentaries and movies made, what makes all this so very very sad is its the true 💙 what such brave children & adults 💙 RIP 🙏
crazy cat & catlover -- a very sad thing is how closed to the end of the war she died, she and the others ... for sure, she changed the hearts of many people, still she does ... but she would have deserved so much life ... ... by the way - I love cats, too !!
WITHERBEAGLE sadly because she was only of the few who kept record fo what was she living as a Jew in hiding and this was later published by her father . There’s countless stories but not many were l I’ll enough to write them not survived to do so .
Ive been to Anne Franks house, read some of her diary, stood in the rooms she lived in, looked out of the windows that she would have looked out of. I have never been so moved and it brought me to tears. There are no words to describe the feeling.
I remember being invited to London for the Holocaust’s 75th anniversary in 2020. I had full honours by the Holocaust charities that year and I was only 17 and I now visit Holocaust survivors every year saying I was in London with them. I cry every time we lose a Holocaust survivor
I saw several movies about Anne Frank, also read her diary itself (in Dutch and Esperanto (Anne Frank ne estas de hieraŭ). Most movies are only about her and her family's stay in the Achterhuis, but never knew anything about her live before the Achterhuis and the deportation to Bergen-Belsen, until... this movie. It is a really awesome movie. I wish on a day there will be a version in Dutch and German, the languages that the characters likely spok.
And what's happening now is a repeat of 1932, with the vicious antisemitism in college universities. All because Israel is determined to wipe out an enemy sworn to eliminate the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. This absolutely infuriates me. God says that He would bless those that bless Israel and the Jewish people.
@@user-qr9uh1fd8g I suggest you look up the term 'describe your feelings', I don't see any feelings described in my comment, just a list of what I did.
Anne wished to travel to many countries and wished to know them but was unable, but those countries know her. And she wished to study history but she is history now.
@Kathleen Raecke Excuse me? Why are you insulting Anne? She also had other quailities. Margot was kind she should have changed the world too like Anne.
The last scene of Anne Frank, as she cradles her dead sister is one of the saddest scenes ever filmed. It was made so sad by the way it actually referenced Anne's diary. The July 15 1944 entry contains her famous quote, "in spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." But, it also contains this line, "I can feel the sufferings of millions, and yet, if I look up into the heavens I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again." Anne mentioned this practice of looking to the heavens/sky and being filled with hope and reassurance a few times in her diary. But, the last scene of Anne in the movie shows her in complete despair looking up at the heavens as the camera pulls up and away...no hope, left...no reassurance, and no longer any comfort from looking to the heavens. I think the director crafted that scene with the despairing look to the heavens with that July 15 entry in mind, to show the utter despair and hopelessness that she must have been feeling in that moment.
Yeah, Anne is looking up and has lost all hope. Hope died when Margot did and like her friend Hannah Goslar said that Anne felt she had nothing to live for as she thought her father and mother were dead. Her mother really was dead at this point, but Hannah said that if Anne had known that Otto was still alive it would have given her something to fight on and live for. Hannah had something to live for. She lost her mother and father, but she still had Gaby, her little sister.
@@torieowens8277 Yes, it's sad that Anne Frank lived the last months of her life thinking her father was dead. She actually thought he was sent to the gas chambers immediately after they were separated. And, he normally would have been, but, since he was in hiding for the past two years, he actually looked in better shape, and younger, than his 56 years...which would gotten him sent right to the gas chambers. Anne Frank caught typhoid though, with absolutely no medical treatment given for it, so it's unlikely she would have survived. Hannah Gosler survived, but she was not actually in Bergen Belson, subject to the brutal conditions Anne and her sister were subjected to. Hannah was part of an exchange camp. The Nazis put a group of Jews with ties to Palestine into special camps with the intention of exchanging them for German POW's held by the allies. Nothing ever came of it (no Jews were ever exchanged), but the Jews in those camps received much better treatment. So much so, that they actually received red cross packages. When Hannah threw the food over to Anne, it was actually from one of her Red Cross packages. Not many know about the exchange camp existence, just like many are not aware that in hiding, Anne was actually aware of what was happening to the Jews in the camps they were being transported to from Westerbork. As early as her October 9, 1942 entry, she wrote, "If it's that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway places where the the Germans are sending them? We assume most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they are being gassed."
@@TigerGuy052 Millions of people died during the Holocaust. Including children and teenagers. Just because that makes you uncomfortable doesn't give you the right to say it never happened. this was someone's daughter, someone's sister. Nothing about her story is cool. Shame on you.
@@Aheartofbooks Don't feed the trolls. This is what they want, when they sit in their parent's basements (at the age 30+) writing comments trying to push buttons in people. No life'ers who get off on receiving replies to their nonsense. Best just to ignore them...like everyone does, in their failed, friendless lives.
Seeing Anne talking and imagining her future with her sister is just emotional. She wanted to be a writer, study languages and history, travel the world and be a modern woman. Honestly, it looks like she has achieved it. She is a diarist, her diary is translated into many languages, languages that she would have wanted to study, she is a part of modern history now that we look at it. Her diary is almost in every part of the world and she HAS travelled by means of it 🥺
@@patriciarowe3431 Some people don't know who she is. Infants included for not knowing who she is obviously. I guess your correct, most earthlings were inspired by her work.
At 80 years old, I was 2 years old when Anne lost her battle with Typhus. She was put in a common grave with other prisoners at Bergen- Belsen. As a published author and poet, I too started my journey early in life. With the passion for writing like Anne had, by the time I was 15, I wrote poetry. That inspired me to start writing stories like Anne did. At first, it was a few pages, then ten, then hundreds and finally thousands. I wrote about anything, everything. Anne was only 14 years older than me and I wonder what she would have written about. She would be the same age as my one brother, 94 if she had lived. My eyes shed tears of sorrow for you Anne, Rest in Peace, from a fellow writer who has read and cried from reading your precious words in a copy of “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
I love reading your comment. It just kills me that in the U.S. we have to grapple with the likes Donald Trump, whose minions would have felt quite at home running a place like Aucshwitz. Margerie Taylor Green, Matt Gaetz, Ron Desantis, Ted Cruz and all the rest would look just fine in an Gestapo Uniform. Americans need to watch this movie so that never happens to us, AND IT COULD!

Otto Frank the only survivor of the Secret Annex. He remarried after the war. He moved to near Basel Switzerland 🇨🇭 and died at 91 in 1980. What I did not know is Margot also wrote a diary during their two years one month in hiding in the Secret Annex. But it was never found. Thank god Anne’s was saved by Miep but I would love to have read Margot’s too….
Tom Fraterrigo Same but I don’t want my Nanny to come with me because she upset me on Friday badly saying the dates when they all died and I cried so hard on it I wanted to go home, she doesn’t understand what I’m going through
I've been to the Holocaust Museum and I'll tell you something, seeing the piles of torn shoes , and the concentration camp clothes , and the glasses and wedding bands, absolutely broke me. I bawled like a baby walking through it . There's things in life that you'll never forget, and for me it was the museum.
Hi Morgan my brother & his wife, my son & daughter in law have visited sounds like the same, I in a caring way would of liked to of also visited. They all said exactly the same, it is extremely touching 😢 its knowing that it is part of history and all that you see is so very true, it is heartbreaking.
My grandfather once told me that people can still be good, if humankind can learn to control its hatred and it’s fear. His words were, “its a simple ideal, and yet such a tall order.”
Today is 12th June 2019. If Anne Frank were alive , she would have turned 90 years old today !! May your soul Rest in Peace dear Anne. Also RIP all those innocent Jews and other innocent people who became victims of hatred and perished during the Nazi rule!!!
@Ayub Abdulle anne died of typhus Peter died of death March Margot died of Typhus Edith died of starving Hermann died of Shot Protenalla died of train crash
larry mc wow, that’s insane! I honestly never knew that, you’re absolutely right, they seem as though they were born in entirely different worlds :( it’s heart breaking... i imagine had she survived they would have been very good friends, maybe she would have been involved in the civil rights movement had she survived the nazi brutality... :(
Anne said that she wanted to be remembered even after her death and to go on living. Boy, is she ever! I wonder if she knows just how much she IS remembered, and how much of an affect she's had on generation after generation? That's eternal living in my opinion...
I remember the first time I watched this and despite having seen so many holocaust documentaries and films, him telling Miep ‘Margot and Anne aren’t coming back’ just gutted me. It still does. I see my father in him and it really humanises how incredibly just devastating these losses are. I don’t know why that simple line impacts me so much. They were just his little girls and now they are dead. The loss remains inconceivable. So many. For what? Two faces. Two names. Two little girls… of how many? 16 and 19. Babies with their whole lives ahead of them. The sheer number is inconceivable.
When they separate all the families upon arrival at the camp its portrayed so realistically that I instantly burst into tears. The screams, the tears, everything is so horrifying real...💔😢
Ha ha it's almost 2 am watching now Thursday morning Los Angeles. I remember going to the museume of Tolerance in L.A. if you live out here and haven't gone. The last part of the tour was hearing from a survival. She was very nice and you could still see the number on her arm. It's fading away like can barely notice much unless it pointed out.
it was kind of unreal to me that this happened so shortly ago, and i didn’t cry throughout the entire movie until the ending when everyone was returning from the camps, newly liberated on the trains, reuniting with family. and then just knowing otto was about exit the train with no family around or to greet him, i burst into tears. because this was the reality for so many families. and the fact that the girls were so freshly on the brink of liberation. such a cruel, cruel history.
I like this film adaptation than the other ones. I felt you really know more about Anne’s life because most film adaptations end when she was arrested. But this film really dove deep into her life, her persona and the time period. Hannah Taylor Gordon and Ben Kingsley were great.
Nice thought. My life from the day I was born except the joy when my child was born ten healthy pounds at 10 15am so beautiful and the joy of God's love and beautiful world. A life of pain for 48 years, false accused, disabilities etc.
@@KanikaBhutan.i It makes a huge difference. I spent 10 years of my adult life reparenting myself. I've been behind schedule all my life because of that set back. Thanks for your note!!
yeah... it also sucks that they were found a few days before the last train left. because if they weren't found for a few more days, they wouldn't have gone...
Anne Frank was born in 1929, just like my grandmother from my father' s side. Her husband (My grandfather) and his brother where sent to the Camps and both survived. He once told the whole story on a christmas party when he had a few drinks. This was before i was born. Sadly he never told it since because it was to traumatic for him and never got to hear the full story. From what i heard from family members , he was at one Point in Sachsenhausen, had to burn dead bodys and apparently he and his brother managed to escape.He meant the world to me. Rest in Peace Omeir Verbeke (June 4th1924 - August 12th 2003)
@@Userr86849 I believe that may be the case though it does hurt knowing she thought everyone had died after her sister and that if she knew her father survived she could have had a little bit of hope in her to keep fighting truly heartbreaking
This is the best version of Anne Frank yet. The actress is amazing. Truly bring Anne Frank to life. She was such a beautiful soul. Such a waste of good people who were destroyed. Anne and her sister Margot never grew up. I try imagine what Anne Frank would have accomplished during her lifetime.
It’s breaks my heart to millions of pieces that so many men, women and children were killed during this time era and knowing how this is not fiction makes it scary. Anne Frank’s story is when the most known holocaust story in the world and knowing how her life was taken away simply because of her religion is sickening, I have always admired Anne Frank’s message when I read her diary and her desire for equality in the world. It’s impossible to believe that one diary could change the world and has been doing it for more then 80 years. Anne Frank’s story needs to be remembered but not just her’s the other surviving stories of children who survived the holocaust and they need to be carried on through generations for the message to live on.
The 'diary of anne frank' was written by an American called Meyer Levin. Its a work of fiction, even according to the New York Supreme court who ordered Levin $50000 to be paid to the father of Anne Frank..
@@AnimatedBlastLots of them back then didn't want jews to suffer or to do the things they did. But often if they didn't then they and their families would suffer as well. I'm not saying what they did was justified but back then it was all about you and your own. If you want to blame someone blame their idiot leader from way back when. Besides even if most of germany was actually on board (most weren't on board they were just going along with it out of fear), you can't blame the current generations of people in Germany when most have nothing to do with what happened then. That's like blaming all the white people now for racism and segregation in the 1900's for what their ancestors did.
avocado _ eilish syria is killing their own people. If i’m not mistaken North Korea has labor camps which they send people to the camp for 10 years. I remember reading a documentary on how they have little rights. Some people say it’s not real, but i find it really suspicious that they are hiding alot of info on things.
What breaks me even more than knowing how much these people suffered, is when I realize how many other people and other stories like this one happened and we will never hear. So many people who went through hell and died and we will never know who they were, what were they like and were their dreams... You don't think about that when hear how many died in those camps. You hear a number and you cannot comprehend that every simgle one of them was their own person... Everytime I see a photo from that time I try to look at the faces and remind myself that this isn't just a picture, but a human being
I can’t imagine how the father felt knowing he was the only one who made it out alive, and it’s even more heartbreaking to think about all the emotions he experienced when he went and visited their secret hiding place later on. I read the play when I was in school and we watched the movie too. I cried.
@@Kookie1997Love “crying emoji” -😢 only has a single tear, the “laughing emoji” has 2X the tears. I argue the laugh emoji represents more pain and sorrow for the 300,000 souls lost.
this anne frank film is the best one ive seen yet. the part where she was seperated from her father really got it me and this can go on again because people still put hate towards jews and other religions. and this was not even 100 years ago. but thank u for making this it really shows what others had to go through in the past Rest in peace Anne frank
Watching this during my covid recovery makes me grateful that I don’t have to live through all that. It was very heart wrenching when Woody begged me to get better and I told him I will. It’s literally just like a nasty cold feeling now
"I can imagine Mother dying someday but Daddy's death seems inconceivable" I read this in her diary, she really was her daddy's little girl and the scene when she got separated from Otto really got me. I watched this lots of times and it still makes me cry, it's the saddest thing I've ever watched along with Schindler's List. It's crazy that all of this happened in real life. I'm curious to know what she could have written if she had her diary during her stay in Westerbork, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. If only we can find out all of her thoughts during the last seven months of her life. Anne was a once in a lifetime person, she's already an amazing writer at the age of 13. All the depths of her thoughts, at first its hard to believe that a teenager wrote the diary because of how smart she was. It's so sad she got robbed of her life and future along with millions of young jews. They didn't deserved all of this. She keeps on saying after the war, she never lose hope, even though the end of the war seems like a fairytale. It's tragic she wasn't able to see the end of it. Her life might be short but she really did continue living after her death. Immortalized by her diary.
you bring up a great point - I've seen it numerous times since I was in school. but my youngest is around Anne's age in the movie, and she's a daddy's girl...seeing this hits differently now and points out the true horror Otto must have felt, no way to defend or protect your family...awful.
Actually she wasn’t a once in a lifetime person and that’s what’s truly devastating about this. There were many, many Anne Franks. There were many extremely talented young lives who could’ve changed the face of this planet for the better and they were all extinguished.
@@SophieJackson1993 Anne Frank is only one of them, if we knew all the stories of those 1.5. million children, I don't think the whole world can take it according to Miep.
Her diary was found by Miep Geis and she saved Ann's writings for her when she returned. Diary was found in the hiding place after the group was found hiding and transferred to Auschwitz. When Mr Frank said that Margot and Anne would not return, that's when Miep gave Anne's writings to Mr. Frank.
I hope the woman or man who betrayed the family lived with that burden of guilt forever Best movie I have seen about the story - I wished they had shown us this movie in school
Not all Jews are bad, just like some Germans weren’t either. Just because someone from a place treated someone poorly doesn’t mean that others are the same
OMG. What a movie, so true and so sad. How people can be so cruel - I don’t understand. Thank you to all the people that put the film together, and such terrific actors / actresses.
When they cut there hair it broke my heart seeing the sadness and tears in there eyes especially Anne, they all looked so empty like there was nothing else but despair
Sad part is today this movie speaks volumes especially what is going on in our country I don’t know how or any other way to explain it lockdowns forcin people to wear masks to be vaccinated I feel this we need to learn from My grandfather faught for their freedom I can’t imagine the horrors
@@goldilox3147 here here well said and I am getting my booster 2 days before Australia Day I am asking myself the question why western Australia are doing keeping the borders up until further notice and it kinda stinks for all those people that live in that territory that cannot get home when they fully vaccinated
It absolutely KILLS me how after everything she'd been through for years... if she lasted just TWO more weeks she could've survived. Likewise with Peter, with only 3 days before liberation! Such a cruel world.
Peter died after the liberation. People found his name on a list of dead persons of Mauthausen some months ago. He died may 10, 1945. Ever since then I'm wondering if he still recognized that the war was over and that he was liberated, or if he was already unconcious and didn't know. So sad that he had not enough strength, that he was too ill and too weak to survive any longer....He almost made it.....The date they used before was just guessed by the dutch red cross
Ben Kingsley one of the greatest actors of all time. And this girl playing Anne looks so much like her. It's inconceivable the cruelty human beings inflict on one another. And to this day there are people who deny the Holocaust ever happened. As hard as it is to believe it did. How these Nazi's lived with themselves is beyond comprehension.
It's sad to think that this is the story of only one family. Think how different stories every individual have when this happened to in-numerous people..
Six million people and more were tortured, starved, bludgeoned, burned alive ,shot, gassed and deprived of all human rights. This hell on Earth should never have happened, but I can imagine it will happen again. Be kind and be very careful who you vote for.
My first book report was ‘The Diary Of Anne Frank’ It was 4th grade & we were given a list of “Acceptable Books” by our teacher. About 2 weeks prior I was over my aunts house and my uncle was watching a Documentary on the Holocaust. I was mesmerized & terrified simultaneously! I couldn’t believe this actually happened in the 20th Century!! It was almost 50 years ago.. One of my uncles was sent to Korea to fight the Japanese during WWII. I loved with such anguish the book! If that makes sense to anyone… As intriguing as the book was and as much as I could somewhat relate to her childlike feelings she, Anne was incredibly developed & balanced in her personality & her emotional behavior. As I read I always felt as though she was speaking directly to me! The emotional roller coaster ride wile reading “her diary” book was ambivalent all at once. I’ve actually read it a few times throughout my life and I also had my children read it when they were old enough of course & they were aware of the Holocaust. And here we all are on this thread, writing a brief summary of our opinions just on-line instead of in a book, journal, diary what have you.. And we are on the brink of WWIII!!!! Scary…? Isn’t it….?!
Andy11307 LakersFan Yes, I’m glad everyone in college helped me in Cardiff on Thursday 12th March because my candle of Anne was there. The worst of it was; Tracy the moody teacher touched our diary we made and I got frustrated
Thank you ☺️ to whoever uploaded this beautiful and haunting film 😢❤. We don’t seem to have learned as much as we should have from history 😢 or, maybe some chose anger and hate 😢
I cannot imagine the immeasurable pain Otto Frank went through for the rest of his life. To lose a wife is horrible enough, but to lose both of your children; your own flesh and blood, I have no idea how I could go on after that.
As a fact that I've already read Anne Frank's diary 'The diary of a Young Girl' , Otto Frank got married again .....and spread the story of his daughter and let the world know about how they live their life during those horrible times...
You dont remember them every minute of the day, and indeed you try not to remember them too often. Life goes on and there are many new things to be happy for.
My great-grandparents were German Jews living in exile in Holland with their two kids, my Opa and his sister Susi. In May 1943 an NSBer (Dutch Nazi) ratted out their hiding place in Amsterdam. My great grandparents and their daughter were sent to Sobibor Concentration Camp and murdered. Susi was 15, the same age as Anne. My great grandfathers brother and his wife were sent to Bergen-Belsen in the same camp (Star Camp) as Anne, and were on the same train as Hanneli Goslar (Anne's friend) which was intended to transfer prisoners in April 1945 away from Belsen. The train was abandoned by the Nazis in a town called Trobitz, and liberated by the Red Army. My Opa survived by joining the Jewish underground & Dutch resistance. He was honoured posthumously by the Dutch government in 2022. This film echoes the experiences of my family, and it was so hard to watch. May they all rest in peace.
You are aware that your so called God, a product of your suffering fantasy, is the one who permittet holocaust in the first place as part of his great plan. You Christians are not bright people.
It's strange seeing Ben Kingsley portraying Otto Frank after seeing him so many times portraying Stern in Schindler's List. Another stellar performance, though.
What really surprises me is that Otto was so calm about Margot's summons. He was so fatherly about it; making sure that he didn't show he was afraid, he was calm, gentle, and strong about everything.
There is a very good reason for the "hateful" comments. Up is down, I sincerely hope one day you will discover that for yourself. The world would be better off if everyone did.
