ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED
A film review by Ben Hoffman
Copyright 1996 Ben Hoffman
Most of us have seen various TV screenings of Anne Frank's Diary and grieved for the young girl who met such a horrible death at the hands of the Nazis just as the war was coming to an end. But no matter how many times you have seen it, someone else has found a new way of presenting it, has found new, previously unseen footage of the atrocity that was the Holocaust. Now come ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED, an unforgettable documentary that will tear at your heart.
When, some years ago, I visited the very house where she and her family were hidden in the attic, I was extremely touched. And every time I see a film about the tragic incident I am spellbound again.
This is the kind of film that must be seen again and again so that nothing like the horror of the death camps will ever happen again. This is what movie-making does best, bringing to us history the way it really happened. No adjectives are strong enough to fully do justice to the accuracy and poignancy of the film.
