Anne Frank was a Jewish teenager who, along with her family, friends and others, hid in an attic for two years to avoid Nazi persecution. Her famous diary of that period provided a unique, personal view of the Holocaust. This documentary examines her short, tragic life, using interviews, archival photographs, family correspondence, and rare footage. The events covered range from her parents' marriage in 1925 to her father's death in 1980. The wide variety of materials provide insight into Anne's personality and reveal that, despite her circumstances, she still experienced all the normal growing pains of a teenage girl.
In 1944, the Nazis discovered Anne Frank and her group. She died in a concentration camp in 1944 -- only a few days before Allied troops marched in to liberate the camps.
