Rare Anne Frank Video Released

On a channel dedicated to Anne Frank on YouTube, there are also clips of others, including her late father Otto and Nelson Mandela, talking about Anne. The Anne Frank House museum spokeswoman, Annemarie Bekker, said that these clips are the only moving images that exist of Anne Frank.

For her thirteenth birthday on June 12, 1942, Anne received a book she had shown her father in a shop window a few days earlier. Anne decided she would use it as a diary and began writing in it almost immediately.

By the beginning of the 1940 Anne and her family were trapped in Amsterdam due to the German Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. In July 1942, the family went into hiding in the hidden rooms of her father Otto Frank's office building. After two years, the group was betrayed and transported to concentration camps. Seven months after her arrest, Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Anne Frank's father Otto, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947.

The video shows footage taken during a neighbor's wedding on July 22, 1941, a year before before Anne and her family were forced into hiding to avoid the Nazis during World War II.
