Anne Frank's Diary
53 Answers
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.

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!
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.
