When I was about fourteen I read "The Dairy of Anne Frank" and it captured me totally. As an adult I re-read the diary and was even more impressed by the beauty of her writing and the terrible tragedy that she could not live to realize her full potential.
I found this on the Internet: "Ha'aretz, the Israeli newspaper, is showing remarkable footage today. The Frank House, in Amsterdam, has realeased this short 20-second video snippet from the life of Anne Frank. The video was shot approximately a year before Frank and her family went into hiding. "
The context of this video is compelling and this has certainly made me pensive for the rest of this day.
Wow.. that's quite amazing. And haunting.
ReplyDeleteA very terrible time that we should never forget. To have killed this lovely talented child along with so many others it monstrous.
ReplyDeleteI took it down from the shelf to reread. My kids visited there when in Europe.
ReplyDeleteIt's really unbelievable that this footage exists.
