20 Seconds in the Life of Anne Frank

Tref · 12-24-2009, 12:11 AM

I signed up for the Anne Frank House newsletter a few months ago. I thought this story was extraordinary. You can only get a brief glimpse of Anne looking out a window, yet it is so touching and sweet. Just a young girl on a sunny July afternoon enjoying her life ...

From the Guardian UK
"The only existing film images of Anne Frank have been loaded on to YouTube by Amsterdam museum The Anne Frank House.
The footage, from 1941, is the only time Anne has been captured on film. The 20-second footage uploaded to the museum's recently launched Anne Frank Channel shows Anne's neighbour on her wedding day. A 13-year-old Anne is seen nine seconds into the video, leaning out of a second-floor window to get a better look at the bride and groom. At the time of the wedding the bride-to-be lived at No 37 Merwedeplein, next door to the Franks at No 39.
The scene was filmed on 22 July 1941, just under a year before the Frank family went into hiding above the family business. The family were discovered in August 1944 and Anne died in a Nazi concentration camp in March 1945."

Amazing that this survived, was found, and is now viewable by anyone.

Pretty amazing. Though I have to wonder why it links at the end to all sorts of Anne Frank related stuff and then out of the blue... the New Moon trailer.

I mean, nothing says Amsterdam like an underaged Taylor Lautner, I guess.

Is it wrong that I keep looking for a punchline to this thread?

No, since I've been trying to think of one I'd be willing to post since yesterday.
