Where is Anne Frank? – Touching animated film

In the animated film “Where is Anne Frank” by the Israeli director Ari Folman, Anne Frank’s imaginary friend Kitty, who wrote about her in her diary, is the actual main character. Kitty comes to life and takes young viewers on her quest to find Anne. She follows Anne’s footsteps, from the Secret Annex to her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Given the age group of nine or ten years and older for which the film was made, Folman decided against a realistic portrayal of conditions in Bergen-Belsen, for example.
