Anne Frank Film Clip from 1941 is Huge on YouTube: 1.5 Million Views in 7 Days

Late last month, the Amsterdam-based museum Ann Frank House launched a channel on YouTube.

A video showing the 11-year-old for a mere 10 seconds, the first moving image of  the young diarist who died in a German concentration camp in 1944, has become widely viewed, getting nearly 1.5 million views by today (at 10:40 at noon EDT).

Here's more about the clip from the Associated Press.

Quite an extraordinary clip and channel on YouTube.

Pretty sad. Especially when such happy people have no idea what is going to happen to themselves in the near future.... The possibility of this happening again is very real...

 

I had seen that clip awhile back on the Anne Frank site and clicked it through over and over. It was moving to see the actual Anne but especially in an everyday moment. Just a child looking out her window, at home where she was safe and thought she always would be. The briefness of it, the innocuousness of the capture of her living and breathing is so sad.
