Anne Frank: the only existing film images

July 22 1941. The girl next door is getting married. Anne Frank is leaning out of the window of her house in Amsterdam to get a good look at the bride and groom. It is the only time Anne Frank has ever been captured on film. At the time of her wedding, the bride lived on the second floor at Merwedeplein 39. The Frank family lived at number 37, also on the second floor. The Anne Frank House can offer you this film footage thanks to the cooperation of the couple.

I wish I could give her the life she deserved. Yet I am grateful she could share with us what she has. Hers is the human face of tragedy.

Otto Frank talks about Annes diary

This is one of the few television interviews Otto Frank gave. Sitting in one of the rooms of the Secret Annex, he is talking about his surprise at the things Anne Frank wrote in her diary. Her thoughts on life, her self-criticism: this was not the daughter he had known

Otto was the only member of his family to survive the holocaust. When he returned, Miep Gies gave him his daughters diary. She had saved it after the people in hiding had been arrested. After reading it, Otto Frank decided to publish the diary. As he puts it: To build up a future you have to know the past.

The video is an excerpt from the television program The Legacy of Anne Frank, which was part of the series The Eternal Light by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America & NBC. It was broadcast on 24 December 1967. The Anne Frank House holds an original film copy of this rarely shown film.

The virtual museum: The making of

In 2008 the Anne Frank House and Lost Boys started building an online museum. Here, visitors will be able to explore the building as it was during the hiding period. See how this 3D Flash environment is being built and what sort of information people can find in it. The development of the online museum was made possible by an initial contribution from the BankGiro Lottery and by contributions from other funds.

When launched in April 2010, the virtual museum will be available in Dutch and English. Other language versions will be developed in the future. Would you like to stay up to date about this project? Subscribe to our channel.
