Description

How is it possible that a diary of a thirteen-year-old girl has such a huge impact on millions of people all over the world, even seventy years after her death? Is it because we know how cruel her life would end? Because her diary was written exceptionally well and so many people identify with her? The Diary of Anne Frank means a lot of things for us and for our time, as you can read in the interviews in this book, which were taped for the documentary The Magic of the Diary of Anne Frank. All interviewees have one opinion in common: Anne Frank's message should be heard by as many generations as possible. Anne was unique. And we are all Anne, even if it's just a little bit.

    Save your money on this one, folks. It's a mix of Leftist dogma and a smattering of Anne Frank. As a Jew, I only rented the film to see what role Jesse Jackson, Whoppi Goldberg and Stevie Wonder played in the role of Anne Frank's terrible demise. The plight of African-Americans is completely unrelated to the most horrific act ever committed by mankind. This film leaves me feeling depressed that the Holocaust was exploited to make a hyperbolic political point.
