What was the program about ?

These days the Internet is flooded with a plethora of choices with content on varied topics and subjects.  However,  today I am going to talk about a particular series that I watched on YouTube. It is a five- part series on the life of Anne frank who died in the Second World War during Nazi occupation of Germany and  adjoining countries.

When did you watch it and with whom ?

Most of the time I like watching entertainment programs with my family, however this was one show that I wanted to watch alone. I had read the book and I knew how intense this series is likely to be.

Did you like it?

Since I had read the book already I knew the storyline. Yet, I wanted to watch the dramatization and interplay of characters on screen and I must say that the series was a wonderful watch. It starts with Anne Frank and her sister leading a normal life to the more hard times when after Nazi occupation of Germany, the family fled to Amsterdam and later went into hiding as Jews were being prosecuted by Hitler’s Germany. The book is a revelation of a 13-year-old girl’s dreams who is confined to the attic of a building while the world outside goes by.  Despite all precautions, the family was caught and sent to an extermination camp. There just two weeks before the liberation of the camps by the Allied Forces, Anne Frank tragically dies.

 The characterization and flow of the story is handled expertly in the series and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Each part depicted vividly ways of life before the World War and later in the refugee camps. It appeared almost realistic and gave me goosebumps.
