Sunday Matinee: Dear Kitty - An Educational Film About the Life & Diary of Anne Frank


Free admission! This film tells the story of Anne Frank and her family who, in1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. 

Through photos of the family, historical film material, and footage taken at the Anne Frank House, this film effectively tells Anne Frank’s personal story in the context of the Holocaust. Appropriate for all ages, this documentary was created for the target audience of 10-14 years of age. In addition to providing historical context, it explores themes such as fascism, anti-Semitism and racism in the past and present. Click here to read more. (Anne Frank Center USA)
