Did any of you see the final episode this evening?
I hadn't seen any of the previous episodes but my 10 year old daughter has been studying it at school and I watched it with her.
Even though I knew what was going to happen, I found it very powerful. The fact that the Nazis weren't sharply dressed SS officers but ordinary Germans in scruffy uniforms just doing their job, the fact that it was so close to the end of the war, the fact that it happened in my parents lifetime and the fact that it is still happening somewhere in the world today tripped a switch inside me. My daughter said it was the first time she had seen me cry. Damn you and well done the BBC.

It was very well done.

I watched them all having watched an earlier adaptation when I was younger and going to visit the actual place they were hiding in last year in Amsterdam.

It's just unimaginable.
Very powerful & moving.

It is isn't it? But also very real. It's so sad that humans can continue to do that to each other.
I watched all the episodes and thought that the BBC had made it very well and the girl who played Anne was very good.
And I was in tears by the end too.
my husband in tears by the end, as was i it is sad to think anne and margo died 2 weeks short of liberation.
A very good adaptation, think its the best i have seen so far, even the sets looked accurate.
I agree with all the abers. My family and I watched it and found it very moving. We knew what happened and that they died but myself and my 12yr old daughter were crying at the end. Very powerful and well done to all the actors and the bbc.
How amazing that Otto survived and only passed away in 1980. I was gobsmacked by this. It's incredible anyone lived to tell the tale. My uncle was there when they liberated Belson and I'm afraid he never forgave the Germans.
For anyone who has children ( 9 to 12 years old approx) who were moved by this wonderful programme may I recommend a book called " The Silver Sword " by Ian Serraillier. My children loved it and I have just re read it myself.

Bad taste nokno! Think you should've gone out tonight.......
I hav'nt seen the last episode yet as it's set to record but so far I've found it a "Must Watch" as a tribute to Ann and all those who were persecuted with her. I was on the Ann Frank website earlier where there's a virtual tour of the now museum and a webcam of the chestnut tree that Ann loved to look at from the attic. You can also pay a tribute on a virtual tree to Ann. I bow to your Uncle Sir Alec. It certainly puts things into perspective!
She died for idiots like you no knowledge.
I've watched each episode too & cried at the end, even after reading books about it & listening to the Diary of Anne Frank spoken word tapes over the years.

I always watch programmes about the war & what happened to these innocent men, women & children will always stay with me forever.

God bless them all.
Not at all funny .no.k. Shame on you.
no.ko u need a kick up the bum!
Anne went through hell along with her family, u idiot to say something like that shows how shallow u really are.
i'm not being funny but they should do a sequel. her and her family's story continues into the concentration camps.
although details are sketchy there would be enough 3rd party info to build a powerful drama.
I'm also going to watch "Anne Frank Remembered" on BBC Four, via iplayer.

You should try watching it yourself no.k, you may learn something.
doubt he would no point trying!
My oldest daughter and hubby went to the house/museum and were moved to tears. They still have one of Anns diaries and the pics on the wall.
That's a different story Matt, but Anne's diary finished when she & her family were taken away from their hide away by the Nazis.

I hope they are all resting in perfect peace.
