Where Is Anne Frank

"Where is Anne Frank is an animated film by Israeli director Ari Folman (Waltz with Bashir) based on the unique fact that Anne Frank did not write her diary in the first person or as letters to herself, but addressed to an imaginary friend, "Kitty." Kitty appears in present-day Amsterdam and, believing Anne is still alive, sets out on a journey to find her, discovering her legacy and the ways the world has changed (and hasn’t). With beautiful and colorful animation, the film honors Anne Frank’s legacy, and while clearly designed as an educational production for new Jewish generations, it also raises interesting questions about collective apathy toward current humanitarian crises. It invites reflection on what has dulled our compassion and how much international society has changed since World War II."
