Don’t miss this powerful adaptation created especially for young audiences. Anne Frank’s account of her time as a young adolescent, hiding in the now infamous attic during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam is simultaneously heartwarming and heart-wrenching. An important story that must be told and never forgotten.
