Anne Frank is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl is one of the world’s best known books.
Her world-famous diary comes to an abrupt end several days before she and her companions in the Secret Annex were arrested on August 4, 1944. After more than two years in hiding, the eight residents of the annex were found by the German secret state police; the anonymous tipster has never been definitively identified.
This is the story of what happened next, how Anne became absorbed into the horror of the Nazi camp system. Through eyewitness testimony from camp survivors and historic pictures and film, the brutality and horror of Auschwitz, Sobibor and Bergen-Belsen are revealed.
