Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl (1943-1944)

Did you set your DVR for this last Sunday evening PBS broadcast for the premiering on the Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 11, 2010, of the showing of "Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl?"

I remember back in the mid or late-1950s when the book came out, or was it the movie? We were living down on the southwest corner of Seventh and Church Street (703 7th Street), in Alva, Oklahoma. Our neighbor to the left had this garage with storage setup on the rafters, like an attic of sort. We would pretend, play like that was our attic hiding place.

Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager (age 13 years) during World War II, hiding from the Nazis poured out her heart to the only true friend she had left -- her diary.

PBS's Masterpiece Classic presented a most accurate-ever adaptation of one of the world's most beloved and widely read memoirs, The Diary of Anne Frank, premiering on Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 11, 2010.
