Anne Frank’s video diary will be continued. Producer Every Media is working on a five-part series that shows how the Jewish teenage girl and her family fared after the arrest. The series should be shown on the Anne Frank House’s YouTube channel this summer, the organization reports on its website.
The five new episodes will be subtitled in Dutch, German, English, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. The follow-up series tells what happened to Anne Frank when she was deported to Germany via Westerbork.
The book After the Secret Annex by Bas von Benda-Beckmann formed the basis for this part of her life story. The historian has described the last part of Anne’s life on the basis of historical research and witness statements. Part of the recordings of the follow-up series took place in Drenthe last weekend.
Vlogs
The first series, which covered the period in hiding that Anne described in her book The Secret Annex, garnered a lot of praise last year and won international prizes. The story of Anne Frank has been filmed in such a way that it seems as if she made vlogs for YouTube about her stay in the Secret Annex with a modern camera.
The lead role in the video diary is played by 15-year-old Luna Cruz Perez. The first series won a number of Lovie Awards, the most important internet awards in Europe. The fifteen-part series has also been adapted into a television series. This can be seen at NPO Zapp from 28 March.
