“It’s easy to make people cry. It‘s a lot harder to make them think.”
Ben Kingsley, in: Los Angeles Times.
The life of Anne Frank and her family from 1939 to 1945: pre-war fears, invasion of the Netherlands by German troops, anti-Jewish legislation, hiding in the secret annex of Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam, deportation to the camps, … to the return of Anne’s father as the family´s sole survivor.
