This film is a must see for anyone interested in the subject of the Holocaust, and Anne Frank. From the early days of the crisis in Europe, up through her tragic end, this film brings us into the intimate world of a young girl facing the fears and anxieties of a situation she cannot control. Well acted and well directed, this docudrama vivifies the flight of the Frank family, her difficult relationship with her mother Edith and the stricken community in the hiding on Prinsengracht 263. Otto learns how Anne really saw their everyday life in the secret annex, constantly being threatened by detection. How lonely and alien Anne often felt. He begins to transcribe the diary. Doing this Otto Frank has to realize how little he knew about his daughter Anne. It is the beginning of a throwback. Densely dramatized feature scenes, documentary and archive material, new and surprising interviews with her companions constitute the film elements that will allow MY DAUGHTER ANNE FRANK to get the audience close to Anne herself and her story. Embedded into the words of Anne's diary, we evocate her fears, dreams, love and longings, her vision of a possible future, and the reality of a sudden end.

OMG. Confession time: I love this series! I think it's the best crime show on TV. It's my guilty pleasure. I watch episodes back to back. The stories are intense, but the fun tone of the writing and the narrator keep it from getting too heavy. Sometime I just like to listen to it while I'm cooking in the other room -- I don't even need the pictures to enjoy it. The reason I say it's a guilty pleasure: they are real-life murder stories, and I often feel terrible for the victims and their families. But I'm always amazed by the tenacity of the cops. Wow. Hat's off to Investigation Discovery for paying tribute to these guys. So, I'm hooked on this series. A word of caution: don't start watching unless you're prepared to get addicted yourself!!
