Anne Frank's Diary

Letters to the Future • Director - LAURA

Anne Frank was born in 1929 into a Jewish family. In 1942, while staying in hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, the girl wrote a diary, recording over two years her family’s and several other Jews’ attempts to escape the Holocaust, describing everyday living conditions, her longing and fear, and her hopes and anxiety about their hiding place being discovered. Her diary has survived and become a striking testimony of the era.

As the director emphasizes: "Anne was the messiah of her time, because she not only dated events and their sequence, but through her unconditional love taught the world values that are stronger than gas chambers or bullets. That is why Anne is immortal. And her smile always makes you smile back."
