The Oscar® – winning Actress Helen Mirren retraces the life of Anne through the pages of her diary, and that of 5 other women who, as children and adolescents, were also deported to concentration camps but survived the Shoah. Off “the set”, a young girl, talking to her peers using social media, will lead us through Anne Frank’s short life and her feelings. In the documentary we also hear the voices of Rabbi Michael Berenbaum, historian and professor of Jewish studies at various American universities. Produced in collaboration with Anne Frank Fond Basel.
