Rating: - Awsome
This is a very good depiction of the people who actually hid them. There are many versions on Ann Frank but none on the Heises.
Rating: - Unsung Heroes & Heroines: People of the Dutch Underground
As a teacher of the Holocaust, I am always trying to find resources to use with my students that will bring real people into the study. Kids today can't relate to the horrors of something like the Holocaust, and providing as much background knowledge as possible is critical. This movie very closely follows the story of the Franks and the other people in the Secret Annexe as it was told by Miep Gies. It gives the perspective of those who bravely hid Jews from the Nazis. My students are in awe of those ... Read More
Rating: - Mary Steenburgen in an absorbing performance
This is a overall very-fine TV movie, putting a different slant on the story of Anne Frank and her family.

Rating: - Courage and love in the midst of oppression

The horror of being occupied by foreign power in your own country is constantly portrayed. Juxtaposed to this oppression is the strength, courage, and love of one ... Read More
Rating: - A Very Moving Telling of the Tragic Event
This movie focuses a lot on Meep, played very well by Mary Steenburgen. It tells the story of the Franks from before they move into hiding to their capture and deportation. While it does not cover as broad a time span as the recent tv movie about Anne Frank, it does give a pretty accurate portrayal of the lives of those involved in the hiding of some Jews in a hidden annex.
