Hi All,
The Dairy Of Anne Frank 1959 Although basically a film about a young girl in her teenage years documenting and seeing through her eyes the best and
the worst we as humans have been capable of. You are allowed a glimpse of what it must have been like to be hiding in terror 24/7 where the smallest of noises could lead to capture and ultimately death. The film makes you truly thankful for the life you live and any complaints pale into significance compared to what this girl on the verge of womanhood and the Jewish people from children to the elderly experienced during the war…:(

Sarring:-Millie Perkins,Joseph Schildkraut,Shelley Winters,Richard Beymer,Gusti Huber,Lou Jacobi,Diane Baker,Douglas Spencer,Dodie Heath and
Ed Wynn.

In Nazi-occupied Holland in World War II, shopkeeper Kraler hides two Jewish families in his attic. Young Anne Frank (Millie Perkins) keeps a diary of
everyday life for the Franks and the Van Daans, chronicling the Nazi threat as well as family dynamics. A romance with Peter Van Daan causes jealousy between Anne and her sister, Margot. Otto Frank (Joseph Schildkraut) returns to the attic many years after the eventual capture of both families and finds his late daughter’s diary.

An short insight to the above. Documentary DVD:-contact Mrs. Kroon at Pieter van Huystee Producties in The Netherlands: [email]curien@pvhfilm.nl[/email]
