This book was heartbreaking but also SO illuminating. There are no words for what happened to her and the other millions of Holocaust victims. But we must never, ever forget what they endured.
Even with all I have read about Anne in the years that I have known about her, I can't even imagine the effect life in the camps must have had on her. After her sister died, she was so convinced that both of her parents were dead that she didn't see any point in living without them. She was already in very bad shape from the typhus and the starvation that... You know how your emotional state and will to live can affect your physical health? It's not a good combination at all when someone already in that desperate a physical condition loses their will to live, once that happens, they'll die very soon. It's horrible.
So sad what happened to Anne and her family. She always tried to be cheerful in the diary, trying to look on the bright side of things. So many things contributed to her early death. First they were betrayed. But if they could've stayed in Westerbork they may have survived. They were on the LAST transport to Auschwitz, how unlucky is that? Then they had to be separated from their mother and sent to Bergen Belsen at just the time when things were so impossible there. And Anne believing her father had died. What if she'd known he was still alive? Is it possible that just knowing that would've given her that little bit of strength she needed to survive? We'll never know. And if she could know how much impact her diary has had since the end of the war, now going on 80 years. I hope wherever she is, she knows.
A very good documentry. I was always curious to know, what happened to the Frank ladies, after they were arrested on 4th August 1944. Felt very sad hearing about the tertible death of Ann, Margot, Edith and the other ladies in the camps. The few who survived, were really lucky. RIP to all who perished in the camps.
Heartbreaking. I have a lump in my throat while writing this. I have been to Westerbork, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen but even on location the occurrences are unimaginable. However, these women describe them so detailed and vividly that I see it all happening right before me. This documentary really brings the concentration camps to life. 💔
Just thirty minutes in and I can just feel inside me even just a bit of all the horror and and chilling darkness of every detail of even just the transport itself. Commenting in 2020, dark times really affect you. I hope no one will ever again know or go through what these women did. I feel horrible. It's terrifying.
Both sisters were among the youngest so maybe that's why they had to adjust to the worst bed. After seeing her beloved sister leaving with a shock in front of her, Anne couldn't take it anymore, she must have felt so miserable. They could have definitely survived if it wasn't for that widespread disease & horrendous living conditions. Btw I had read in an old article that Anne tried writing there as well, but probably we'll never know her exact thoughts like the ones she use to express to Kitty.
I’m not sure how she would’ve been able to write there as I doubt she would’ve had access to writing materials. People literally had nothing. Plus she prob would’ve swapped it for food. However who knows.
The documentary leaves out testimony from one survivor who said that Anne found a way to make the best of even being in the camps and that she was very cheerful and lively. She even found a way to make the other women in the camps laugh by doing a dance in men's long underwear she had found somewhere. The survivor said it was "screamingly funny." Look it up
I just looked it up, what the hell are you talking about? The survivor only said that she LOOKED "screamingly funny" at the time - as in "in retrospect" - not that she was trying to BE funny, or that everyone at the time found it funny in the moment. I don't doubt that she was resilient but the idea that she was "happy" or "frolicking" in Auschwitz is just an offensive suggestion...
@@jamesa.romano8500 I don't think its to say she was happy there but I think its safe to say she probably had hope that the Allies were coming and that she was a lot worse off when she and her sister were sent to Belsen where her spirits were totally crushed because of the starvation and Typhus and she lost all hope, where before she at least had something.
@@jamesa.romano8500 How dare you disrespect the memory of Anne Frank so callously. I see it as a triumph of the human spirit that she could find a way to make the best of it and be happy even under such horrifying circumstances. And if she could find a way to make other miserable people happy at the same time what's wrong with that??
I could not write anything new as to my feelings as I watched this than what others have written.. I found one thing strange. In the narrative of the woman who through a parcel over the fence to Anne...it was mentioned that that she spoke to and called out to Mrs Van Daan first....that name was the fictitious name Anne gave to Mrs Van Pels in her diary. She would not have answered to the name Mrs Van Daan...Odd that it came up in this interview.
elizabeth ayala She was obliged to still use the pseudonyms at this time. This documentary is from 1988 and the unabridged version of Anne Frank’s diary was only published in 1995, with the actual names of the people associated with her.
Nicky Bognar Thank you for the clarification...that makes perfect sense. I did not think of the timeline and dates.....reading of Anne and the Holocaust is so heartbreaking....
It's a shame that such an inspiring and historic subject, although, well intentioned and lovingly produced, is almost made unwatchable by the distracting and cringy choice of music. It detracts from rather than enhance the memory of Anne Frank.
Then how did Dinosaurs come to be? How did we as humans get here? I know the same man who created the sun, moon, stars, and the creations that were on the earth before us God, God is like oxygen we can’t see him but he’s there. He’s always with us.
I've waited years for this to be posted with English subtitles. Thank you!

Do you mean the diary of Anne Frank or is there another book you mean?
@@people_suck1532this documentary is based off the book titled “the last 7 months of Anne frank”
I just read the book, and I'm gratefull that you posted with english subtitles
Excellent documentary. Very worthy of its Emmy. Even Wikipedia can only go so far. This took it far beyond. Very enlightening.

I've seen so many people say that if only she knew her dad was still alive, she might have had the strength to keep going...
@@sludge-factory I agree. I feel like she would have held on to the hope of seeing him.
Thank you for finishing her story for her, so the world will not forget.

@@haileeraestout5567 How do you figure that?
Something I found new about Anne's final days was that they walked through the town of Celle, Germany when they arrived at Bergen Belsen

I never knew you had to go through what you went through! You are a very brave and strong person! May peace tule and unite the world and not hate
@@maddie_009 I think that commenter visited those places as historical sites. Not was sent there during the war.

I think its wonderful she found a way to make the best of it amidst all of that horror and sadness! We should all aspire to be that strong!
Courageous

Thankyou for this video...very sad to know what these people had to undergo, Rest in peace
Thank you for sharing.
I wonder how both sisters perceived that evening when others were singing.
Agradecida por su excelente documental, deseaba ver escuchar a las personas que convivieron con Anne y Margoth en sus últimos días.
Heartbreaking
RIP :(
Poor Edith
It IS so sad...
What's the song called?
She's my namesake.

She probably said that because maybe readers referred the people in hiding as their pseudonym names, not as their real name
Wheres the English
Thx
