I hope Ahmanutjob watches this.
That is still pretty sad.
God Rest the souls of the Frank Family.
I have been keeping up with the RealTime posts. I didn’t know there was any film of her before this.
outstanding film quality, this is priceless!
Miep Gies who hid the Franks, turned 100 this year.
This is so sad. What worries me also is the neat clean orderly streets and carefully maintained buildings. If such a horror could occur in that environment what can we have festering in streets where people do not care enough to take care of the street where they live.

If I understand the story correctly, this happened in Amsterdam, and the nazis were occupiers. I remember row upon row of the same clean tidy apartment blocks from my visit there in 1996.
p.s. They hate the frigckin germans in Holland to this day.

July 22, 1941 was exactly one month after the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union and a few days before Japan occupied French Indochina. But the Netherlands looks deceptively peaceful.
Can’t say I blame em.
