BBC Anne Frank: A life in Hiding 

Otto Frank was a very smart man. Fleeing Germany when Hitler came to power and building the annex before hand in fear of going into hiding. He was definitely a man who put his family first. Hes the type of father I aspire to be one day.

I’m really annoyed by how people are saying that quarantine is like what Anne was in, not it’s not ! Yes you are stuck at home but you’re no hiding nor are you sleeping with bombs exploding few kilometers away

Anne even said : despite what all the horrible things have happened I still think that there is good in this world

When she talked about wanting to make people happy in her diary I started to cry imagining how her father felt...

Very touching and Anne Frank will be in Everyone's heart

If only they could have stayed hidden a few more months longer. They may have survived.

A little over a year ago my mom bought me Anne’s diary. Reading it inspired me to start my own diary only a few days before I turned 14... and I decided to call it Anne :)

I will never grow tired to hear or read about Anne Frank's story...I have such great admiration for her! I thank God we all got to know her through her writings.

There should be a history class just on Anne frank seriously so much history in just one person it’s amazing. Her book was really good every time I see it I remember reading it

I love learning about Anne frank

Anne is with me all the time in my heart. What a girl was she. Wanna a time machine to go back in time and meet her. 😭

21 day covid lockdown 2020: Lockdown is too horrible Anne Frank: Hold my diary 📕

One of Otto Frank's closest friends was his college roommate, Nathan Strauss, son of one of the founders of Macy's (and nephew of Isidor Strauss, who died on the Titanic). Otto actually worked for the Macy's in New York for a while until his father died and he returned to Germany. When Otto was desperate to save his family, he contacted his old friend Nathan in the hopes that he could use his political pull to help them get into the United States. By all accounts, Nathan pulled out all the stops, but despite his considerable pull, was unsuccessful. Ironically, one of the factors working against Otto was the fact that he was a decorated veteran of World War I, in which he fought for Germany; the country that turned so cruelly against him and his family. When this failed, Nathan tried to get them visa to Cuba, and this was also unsuccessful. And we all know, the Franks eventually settled in Amsterdam, which was the beginning of the end for this family. I can't help but think of what might have been if things had worked out differently for the Franks and so many other people who were murdered during the Holocaust.

I happen to live five minutes from the Merwedeplein. Anne is in my thoughts every day.

When quoting her diary when she had just arrived at the annex she said “and as you can see, I’m still alive” it was as if Anne Frank was speaking these words in 2020. Yes Anne you sure are still very much alive and instead of hated you are absolutely LOVED by the world.

I’m 59 y o. & YES I STILL CRY EVERYTIME I SEE THIS. !!!!i. INCREDIBLY. SO. VERY. SAD 🙏🙏🙏

I wonder what kind of writing career Anne would have had if she survived, she was so naturally gifted as an author.

There are people who are still alive to tell the story.

This actor is very good, she depicts Anne's personality so well! I truly believed this was the real, Anne Frank!

I do miss Miep Gies being mentioned. Without her the diary would never be found, kept and eventually published. She also together with her husband gave Otto a place to stay for eight years after the war. Until he married Eva Schloss her mother and she became a step sister of Anne Frank. One recent detail I discovered is that Miep Gies (like Eva Schloss) came from Vienna, and this probably saved both her live and the diary. The SS officer in charge of the raid of the achterhuis also came from Vienna. Once Miep heard his accent she used this fact to have a better change of surviving.

I met Eva and bought her book at a NJ Theater over 20 years ago.

Anne and Margo shared the room when they first moved in but Margo moved into their parents room when Fitz Ffeiffer moved in. Anne never had the room to herself

Anne doesn't died She will be alive in every teenagers heart Untill the world ends

What a courageous inspiring young woman Anne was. I hope she knows somehow what an impact her writing has on so many lives.

This is, by far, the BEST documentary on the life of Anne Frank that I have EVER seen!!! It's really "awesome as a possum with a blossom!!!" Thank you so much for posting it!!!

Anne captured the hearts of millions of her admirers even in her sad demise ,she is a voice which has attained immortality ♥️😭💐

She is one of my life’s inspiration. I was deeply inspired by her and to live my life like how she would live. She gave me the courage to carry on.

Like most children During wartime Anne was pretty much forced to grow up quickly. When reading her diary, you can see her grow and mature as time went on up until the very end

the fact that her dad saw that entry after she died and published her diary was so heartwarming 🥺❤️

I like how the presenters attire was a subtle nod to what Anne wore.

Anne: you mustn’t think I love Peter because I don’t Me: Yeah~~~ sure~~~~~~~ 😉

Anne wanted to live on long after her death! I'm so glad she got what she asked for!

So glad I found this. Just shown it to my 13 year old son the day before we actually visit the annexe in Amsterdam. An excellent summary, age suitable while also not holding back from the horrific truths involved. Ultimately it successfully illustrates how Anne’s life, while tragically cut short, still gave all future generations one of the most important humanitarian works in history and inspiration for others to fulfil their own lives in peaceful and positive ways opposing all forms of prejudice. Tomorrow will be a very important and very moving day for me and my family.

When Otto was given Ann's diary he removed things that she said about her mother as though she loved her dad but in such close quarters with her mother there was discord.

Her book makes her alive forever.

I love Anne’s story I never thought that is was this rough for them I could feel their pain.R.I.P to them who has give up their life for us u have really made us proud.It is really hard my great grandad was in ww2 and unfortunately died in their also with my great grandma.WW2 was really a tragic time and wished it never existed.Adolf Hitler didn’t have a right to murder nearly everyone.I couldn’t imagine living in this,it must have been hard.I love Otto Frank he is a lovely fan,he put family first and that’s thoughtful.I wish Anne could knew what her father did.

I would never get tired of hearing Anne frank Madd respect for them especially Anne frank thanks to her im writing my dairy seen i was growing up ❤❤❤❤ i really looked up to her soooo much

Imagine being a kid and having to endure all this. Sadly she was not the only one by a long way. RIP all the men, woman and children who died to that Nazi regime.

R.I.P to all that suffered at the hands of the nazis

If she knew her dad was alive she would have survived

Beautiful piece well done to the young actress x

Eva Schloss was arrested on her 15th birthday (11 May 1944)

I’m currently reading the book.she was so smart for her age! So so tragic that she passed so young

I love Anne Frank’s stories

i didn't know a thing about Anne frank. till my sister asked me to film this on the ipad as a covid memory, now i know everything and i really want to reas her book!!

I read The Diary of a Young Girl and it's very touching

Can you imagine if she'd known all of this? That she became a symbol.

I really wished Anne and peter could have gotten married

I feel bad for the cat

I feel sorry to the cat

The fact that they lived to see D-Day, but were betrayed less than 2 months later, was heart-breaking.

Anne was and is an amazing as wonderful girl . Anne is in my heart everyday every second as well I am inspired by Anne she is still the reason I stay hopeful and brave Anne inspired me abut too much I got an diary a month before my birthday and I named it Anne

Otto eventually became Eva's stepfather. Eva is helping to keep Anne's memory alive.

Just so tragic 😭 always makes me very, what those poor souls endured at the hands of monsters!

Peace to All: I'm way passed middle-age, and saw the dramatized version of Anne Frank's story when it first hit the cinema. She was portrayed by actress Molly Perkins, along with a cast of other notables of the time. Thereafter, in school, I read the play. Later, with other adults we heard from survivors that presented Anne's point of view, through the readings, analysis, and explanation of her perspective (and why). Instrumental in expanding the story, is also taking a look at interviews with Miep Guise. She and her husband initially helped Anne's family, and additionally those that sheltered with them, for the time. Miep survived the war, later hid Anne's diary, which was eventually revealed, analyzed, and rendered for publication. I utilized the information and extremely intimate account of Anne Frank's Diary, which details and describes aspects of her experience. As an educator, writer, and lecturer, I feel learning this story is indispensable. It reflects the direct essence of so many, through the ages. Other individuals, and groups since ancient times, sacrificed and suffered similar fates. There's a wealth of material produced the world over, which was generated by this young woman's account that it will affect generations to come. Anne Frank's [Anna Frank's] aspirations (were) are no different than any young adult's, desires, goals, and hopes. Accordingly, she had a mind to be a writer, and an author in her life time. She kept this view against extenuating odds, circumstances, and tragedy. The odds were unfortunately against her. It seems when we relive her story, as her voice speaks to us, we want her to achieve what she desires, and we're urgently compelled that the outcome would be predictably different... Historically speaking, she has posthumously achieved her goal! Next: Previously, some of my students read excerpts, and saw the documentaries on Anne Frank's life. Subsequently, they were able to author and produce some of the most exceptional projects! Their work echoed their own experiences during this COVID-19 pandemic: curfew, lock down, isolation, depression, social distancing, prejudice, discrimination, racism, socio-political injustice, and death! This was incredible, and pardon me for saying so. Their comparative analogies, and personal stories were based on what they learned about this young dynamic human being [Anna Frank]. They also disregarded some of the detractions they learned about the story, in general. At best, those things were considered unimportant, insensitive, or obfuscated statements. Obviously, they were intelligent enough to comprehend that their experiences during COVID-19, were actually nothing like the trauma, systemic torment, murder, inhumanity that Anne, her family members, and all others like them were subjected to. It was the ultimate insult to all that it means to be a human being! This was a horrid, and despicable stain on the time line of human history. Regardless of Anne's personal background, religious beliefs, and practices... she was human. Her life and the lives of others still resonate, and speak to us; there she is in space and time, in real life, briefly captured on film, in an array of photographs, in the words, and letters [original and translated words] of what we know to be her diary. There's her innocence, her smile, her bright face, her soft features, her expressive eyes, the dramatization of her life, that of her family's, friends, and acquaintances... Finally: Do we hear, do we listen, do we know, do we acknowledge, do we comprehend, do we see, are we voiceless? There's a key in all that she says, and it summarizes some of the injustices, and man's inhumanity to man that still prevails to today. I thank everyone for allowing me to express my views and opinion. Peace Be Upon You All!

She will always be remembered as a strong and brave person.

heartbreaking story. so brave of her and her family. never forget

It’s true they both did get the disease but Margo died because she was to weak and fell out the bunk beds

When I read the diary I was thinking why does it say Van daans somewhere and van pels 😅😅😅😅😅 now I know

Anne Never Died She Lives On Forever .R.I.P. Copy and paste this on any other documentaries you see about her

I had this theory in which I think that if Anne knew her father was alive, she would've fought longer for her life.

Anne frank as well as every other person who was involved in the annex is true heroes Anne is looking down from heaven probably jumping for joy with the success of her book. RIP....

Anne frank created the hide and seek game many children play to this day. What a legend ❤

When Anne shouted at her mother, she called herself a Hopeless Case.. I love that Boy In The Striped Pajamas reference :))

really heart breaking about anna frank hard to watch

It's amazing I saw the move Ann frank

Nazia Mogra... Thank you very much for sharing this video, It is well narrated, Excellent!

This is truly Fascinating , Courageous, Emotional , Heart breaking , What a Lass ! I have no idea if i have any Jewish blood in my ancestral linage but my soul cry’s for what they went through it’s hitting me on a deep level this true life story is a horrible reminder of what can happen Globally over one Mad Man’s Power trip !

Hiding 2020 : We have been on lockdown for more than a month! Anne Frank : I have been in HIDING for TWO YEARS Hiding 2020 : I feel so bad for myself Anne Frank : Seriously man? >:(

I love learning about this. One of my favorite movies . I would have hid people. How could people be so brain washed . And not stand up to them . I would have . Please post more like this thank you for posting this

This video is amazing and anne is a great role model for teen children

Little did she know....😔

Truly heartbreaking.

RIP anne

This is so upsetting. Let’s hope history does not repeat itself 😥

I honestly wonder how she would've actually felt about having her diary published. I mean it did accomplish her goal of living beyond her death, and it's definitely a really important artifact from the holocaust, but as a 13 year old girl reading her diary I thought I would feel mortified having my diary published.

Thx so much Nazia Mogra for making this documentary, am going to show this to students in Asia, to inspire them.

I love you Anne.. you are alive.

I love her😢💖

Very well done Nazia... Great work! 👍👏

My country was also at war. I think Anne will touch our hearts and she will live in our hearts.

What she lacked in looks, she had in talent. Such a young prodigy!

Great video. I recently read in Anne Frank's best friend's book, Jaqueline Van Marssen, that Eva Schloss didn't actually know Anne at all before...An interesting read.

We just see how hate and discrimination plagues one community to the next, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion. Our students are on this unit now and they are beginning to make connections in their real life/cultural history to Anne Frank's life.

She had to deal with that for so long, she survived throughout those times and if she had survived just 7 more months, her life would have changed for the better...

Reading some of these comments it appears that humanity hasn't advanced from the dark days of the 40s - the Third Reich, when all this happened - people more concerned about the cat, stating that Anne never existed, etc. How sad!!! The scary thing is many can't imagine how such things could have happened then - but I am afraid that they can still happen now - overall, the world hasn't gotten any better. God Bless those rare souls like Anne, whose beautiful spirit rose above the madness and bless those who tried/try to make a difference.

Anne was such beautiful soul..❤❤❤❤

The Frank's won the World Hide & Seek Championship for 4 consecutive years! Lord Lucan has since beaten the family's illustrious record but has never shown up to collect his medals either.

Can y'all just imagine how her father felt when he read her diary 🥺.

Anne Frank's story wasn't discrimination (thats an understatement) but of a horror, pure evil treatment towards millions of people. May Allah Almighty rest they're souls.

Nazis, this is a very informative documentary, and I'd like to see more from you. The Anne Frank characterization was spot on too.

The saddest bit in the story to me is when Anne said goodbye to her cat, Moochi

I feel so bad for Anne she was doing nothing wrong I hate the fact she died

Omg it's the guy from history!!!

Why couldn’t Margo share the room with her sister?

imagine if the next book is on the diary of a covid-19 victim. so many people would be able to relate to it.

I am sooo interested in this!!!

I love Anne Frank. I want to help her, get her a bicycle and tell her I love her.

im sad about how she died god may bless anne in heaven is that annes rreal voice cause i like it

if she'd lived just a few days more, maybe she'd still be alive today (at the age of 93)
