"The channel shows footage taken during a neighbor's wedding on July 22, 1941, a year before before Anne and her family were forced into hiding to avoid the Nazis during their World War II occupation of the Netherlands.
The clip has an idyllic feeling as the newlyweds emerge arm-in-arm onto an Amsterdam street, townspeople go about their business and a 12-year-old Anne watches dreamily from a balcony.
'The footage is very moving and very unique because these are the only moving images of Anne Frank,' Bekker told the guardian.co.uk."

This is interesting footage, although it's not new. It appears in one of the documentaries about Anne Frank.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I saw it in ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED. It's from, like, 1995.
I don't think they claimed it was new, just that now it's online and everyone can see it with a mouse click.

Die, then come back to life? Hmmmmm. It's so crazy, it might just work.
Rathnait62, the fact that the video can be found online is not new either. When I was in my Junior year of High School we did The Diary Of Ann Frank and we saw that video clip on youtube.

Anne Frank makes me sad.
Watching the clip is such a reminder of how life can be totally different one day later.

It's horrible. And Nazis are the worst.
Don't you have some episodes of Glee that need watching?

Seriously, I can't even think of Anne Frank without spiraling into despair. They killed her just weeks before liberation. Why couldn't it have been Glee?
