The Only Known Video of Anne Frank
This is so incredible I’m speechless. The museum of Anne Frank House has released this only known video footage of Anne Frank leaning over a balcony on July 22, 1941 watching her newly married neighbours. She is seen 9 seconds into the video.
This video was just under a year before the Frank family went into hiding above the family business. They were discovered in August 1944 and Anne died in a Nazi concentration camp in March 1945.
AnneMarie Bekker of the Anne Frank House said:
“The footage is very moving and very unique because these are the only moving images of Anne Frank,”
“The museum has had the footage for some time, but thought YouTube would be a good platform to show the film and the other films about her life. It’s another way to bring the life of Anne Frank to the attention of younger people, and all people worldwide.”
I don’t know what to say either, but I thank you for bringing it to our attention. As Ms Bekker stated above, it’s important to keep this story alive.
Thank you Anne.
You are so welcome. My goodness this is incredible footage. Things like this really put all things ‘celebrity’ in perspective.
Thanks for your comment.
