The Anne Frank Museum has uploaded the only existing film footage of Anne Frank to the new Anne Frank YouTube channel. The film was shot on July 22nd, 1941 outside her home in Amsterdam during a neighbor’s wedding.

July 22 1941. The girl next door is getting married. Anne Frank is leaning out of the window of her house in Amsterdam to get a good look at the bride and groom. It is the only time Anne Frank has ever been captured on film. At the time of her wedding, the bride lived on the second floor at Merwedeplein 39. The Frank family lived at number 37, also on the second floor.

Well, she has filmed interviews, so to say this is the only time she was on films isn’t quite right.

Um…Gildas…you do know that she died in the 40’s right? They have interviewed Otto Frank, her father, and other’s that knew her, but what kind of interviews are you thinking of?
