      Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: A Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety New insignts about Anne's spicy personality and immense curiosity are revealed by Holocaust survivors Hanneli Goslar and particularly Miep Gies, an office employee of Anne's father who was one of the main helpers to the families in hiding. Rated: 4/5 Feb 15, 2006 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Just when you might well have thought that pretty much all had been said and done about Anne Frank, this film makes us realize how much there still is to know about her and her times. Feb 14, 2001 Full Review Kathi Maio On the Issues The memory of Anne Frank haunts us 50 years after her death. But it is the simple humanity (and unassuming bravery) of Miep Gies that makes Anne Frank Remembered a truly unforgettable experience. Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Scott G. Mignola Common Sense Media Powerful look at the Holocaust through teen eyes. Rated: 5/5 Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Gary Brown Houston Community Newspapers A great documentary selection for college film series audiences. Rated: 5/5 Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Anne Frank Remembered interviews a number of people who knew Anne, either before or after she was sent to the concentration camps. Miep Gies, one of the quartet who concealed the Frank family from the Nazis in Amsterdam for over a year, offers extensive recollections of Anne, her father, and the war. Anne's lone surviving relative, Bernd Elias, expresses his feelings about his cousin. Excerpts from 1976 and 1979 interviews with Otto Frank (who died in 1980) are included. Together with many other testimonials, these form a compelling picture of events not covered by Anne's diary. Anne Frank Remembered is as important for what it will preserve for posterity as for the story it tells today. The message emerging from the Holocaust has always been "Never Forget", and films of this quality make it impossible not to remember. If the story of each of Hitler's victims was told with the sensitivity and power of Anne Frank Remembered, there would not be enough buckets in the world to hold all the tears. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Whether it is a technical problem or for an authentic purpose, the copy of 'Anne Frank Remembered' (1995) I watched did not contain any subtitles when it was needed. It was not that I didn't find this documentary interesting; I just found this one aspect completely insupportable which brought the whole movie down. If you are really interested in Anne Frank, my best advice is to go read her book, 'The Diary of a Young Girl'. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie to watch, i read the book, and this opened my eyes,.. history as it truly happened. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary should be required viewing by every person on Earth and part of a school studies. Anne Frank inspired Nelson Mandela should be all a person needs to know to want to see this movie, a message of peace sent from a young girl who died horrifically at age 15. As with everyone else, sometimes, it gets pretty easy for me to forget how good I really have it in life. Every time I watch this movie, & hear the part when Anne writes in her diary of her waiting for things to get back to normal, as a viewer who knows that for her it never will, it serves as a great reminder to me when I feel like giving up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary should be required viewing by every person on Earth - that Anne Frank inspired Nelson Mandela should be all a person needs to know to want to see this movie, a message of peace sent from a young girl who died horrifically at age 15. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member What makes this documentary so effective is the interviews with the actual people involved. Particularly heartbreaking is the meeting between Miep Gies and the son of one of the men who stayed with the Frank family, two months before his death. This is both beautiful and unbearably sad and pays great tribute to a period in history that should never be forgotten or downplayed.
