Amsterdam, Netherlands — The Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam has begun airing the only known video of the teenage diarist on a channel dedicated to her on YouTube.

The channel also features clips of others, including her late father Otto and Nelson Mandela, talking about Anne, museum spokeswoman Annemarie Bekker said Friday.
“It is really a great platform to show all the different kinds of films and documentaries about Anne Frank,” Bekker added.
The channel shows footage taken during a neighbor’s wedding on July 22, 1941. It briefly shows Anne before she and her family were forced into hiding to avoid the Nazis during their World War II occupation of the Netherlands.
The fleeting moving images of Anne already are on display at the museum and on its Web site in slightly shorter versions.
Bekker said the YouTube channel also has a video about the making of a 3-D virtual version of the secret annex concealed in an Amsterdam canalside house where the Frank family hid for 25 months until they were betrayed and deported.
The virtual version of the secret annex is due to be formally launched next year to help mark the 50th anniversary of the museum’s founding.
Anne died aged 15 of typhus in the German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, seven months after her arrest and just two weeks before British and Canadian troops liberated the camp. Her posthumously published diary has made her a symbol of all Jews killed in World War II.

Please Hashem, we will see her and the other kadoshim soon!
well, I wouldn’t say
“a symbol of all jews”? I wouldn’t exactly say that. there were definately things she did that not every jew would wanna call themselves a symbol of.
Amazing… like seeing a ghost.
I don’t understand. How could they have such an open Jewish wedding under Nazi occupation??!! Something doesn’t make sense………The Germans invaded the Netherlands on May 10, 1940, over 1 year earlier!!
I am totally confused. If the Nazis were in the process of exterminating the Dutch Jews for over a year, why would Jews be moving around freely??
Registration of Jews in the Netherlands didn’t begin until well into 1941. So this footage isn’t chronologically conflicted.
in the Netherlands as in some other countries the Nazis had a little harder time rounding up the Jews and implementing other hardships, since the general public where not in favor of such things as in Poland, Germany Ukraine.
The railroad worker went on strike when they realized what was happening to the Jews on the transport. whithout the public collaboration the jews had a little more freedom
Some of these comments are so distasteful its astonishing. This poor Yid was nehereg al kiddush hashem, for some reason hashem made her words and her story the symbol of the entire holocaust and all people have to say is that she wasn’t frum. Noone on this site can even fathom what kind of suffering she went through to be mikadesh sheim shomayim. If our beis yaakovs taught the srories of anne frank and hannah senesh instead of worrying about high the girsl soicks need to be we would end up with real bnos yisroes we can be proud of.
who says thats her
Lets not forget what the nazis y.s. wanted to delete.
Here we are 70 years later-
with Hashems help,
May we all have a happy Yom Tov & a happy winter!
