Episode Details

Have you ever had a secret diary? Meet Anne Frank, a completely normal girl who loved playing games, chatting with friends, and collecting pictures of movie stars. But when World War 2 broke out, her life changed forever. To escape the dangerous Nazis, Anne and her family had to hide in a tiny secret apartment in Amsterdam called the "Secret Annexe"—hidden completely behind a movable wooden bookcase! Can you imagine having to whisper and walk in thick socks without ever flushing the toilet for nine whole hours every single day? For over two years, Anne and seven others hid in total silence while brave helpers like Miep Gies secretly brought them food. During this time, Anne wrote down all her fears, dreams, and hopes in a little red-and-white checkered autograph book. Even in the darkest of times, Anne believed that people were truly good at heart. Today, her diary is one of the most famous books in the entire world, read by over 30 million people in more than 70 languages! Join Mira and Finn as we explore the incredible life, unbelievable courage, and powerful words of Anne Frank.
