The Diary of Anne Frank 1959

A dramatic film adaptation of one of the most authentic accounts of the events of World War II—the diary of a 13-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Fleeing the horrors of Nazi persecution, Otto Frank, along with his wife and two daughters, Anne and Margot, spend two years in hiding in the abandoned attic of a house in Amsterdam. Joining them in the attic were the Van Daan family—the Van Daans, their son Peter, and the dentist, Mr. Dussel. In her diary, Anne describes all the hardships and deprivations faced by the people around her as they try to lead a normal life in the cramped confines of a tiny attic under the constant threat of being discovered by the Gestapo.
