Classmates of Anne Frank

Movies
In order to fully comprehend the events in the life of Anne Frank, one must listen to the voices of the children who were there with her, of those who remember her. Theo (Maurice) Coster, a famous game inventor from Israel, renews contact with six of his and Anne Frank's former classmates, only to discover an astonishing and confusing truth about the village where he was hiding during WWII. Set against their childhood locations in Amsterdam, Westerbork Transit Camp, and their current homes in Holland and Israel, these former classmates discuss their relationships with Anne and how they survived the War. Through these discussions, the film takes a bold and illuminating look at the different Dutch attitudes toward the war years in The Netherlands and towards the Holocaust.
