The true story written in the diary of a young girl living through the holocaust of WWII in Amsterdam. Going into hiding when she is 13 years old with both her family and a family that are friends of her father's - all living together in terror of being caught by the Nazi's in an attic space above a small factory. The diary itself is a great read and very insightful in spite of being written by a teenager and the movie is worth seeing because it is a good representation of all the nuances that are in the diary. Anne makes it so real and personal. It's a different take on that tragic time than the blood & guts prisoner of war movies show. As it is for so many 13 year old girls, Anne's father is her rock and with her mother they're not as comfortable and a little difficult. It's when they first stand in their new "hiding place" that her father gives her the diary - a gift that thrills her. He gives her a pen and she begins writing right off and continues through the duration of their stay. It isn't fair to tell the story that tells itself. The camera work must have been a real feat in the cramped attic quarters. It's good they included shots of the outside world and the activity that was going on - including the fires and raids - out the attic window. That is where they lived for two years. Although the time frame is from the 1940's, the viewpoints of a young teenage girl still stand as what seems true now (in general). I'm a fan of the diary and the movie. It's more than merely being Anne's thoughts as time goes by - it's a reminder of how Hitler and Germany swept through Europe and what horror they spread along the way. It's a time I firmly believe everyone should know about. It's something we can only hope will never happen again.Read full review
With all the people promoting BDS against Isreal, and those claiming the holocaust never happened, it is an important reminder that the Jews of Europe were very nearly exterminated during WWII. I like this particular story because it engages the viewer in the characters being discriminated against. The movie came out in 1956, a short 10 years after the end of the war. I bought this for my 12 year old granddaughter.

Awesome DVD! Great pix in widescreen and sound quality. Heard it won lots of awards after the film was released based on the book. It's a film every young person and adult should see despite their background in life. Everyone can relate to this.
Classic tragic movie.
