Anne Frank - Contemporary Witnesses Remember is originally a one-part documentary that is always broadcast on German television as a two-part series of around 60 minutes each. The film is a co-production by the Anne Frank House , the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the Disney Channel and the Jon Blair Film Company. The film is based on the diary of Anne Frank .
action
The documentation is rolling the life of the Holocaust perished Jewish Anne Frank on and leaves witnesses, including Anne's assistant in hiding, Miep Gies , have their say.
Rare archive recordings from the Westerbork and Auschwitz-Birkenau transit camps are also integrated into the film.
Kenneth Branagh appears as the narrator and Glenn Close reads excerpts from the diaries. Jon Blair chose an adult reader because he believed that Anne had a very "grown-up" idea of herself and therefore a child's voice would not have been right.
Blair also conducts interviews with Hanneli Goslar and Jaqueline van Maarsen, both of whom were friends with Anne Frank.
