Facing arrest if she did not comply, the family went into hiding on July 6, 1942, moving into a “secret annex” at Otto’s business in Amsterdam, the entrance to which was soon hidden behind a moveable bookcase. That day she began writing in the book: “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” The following month Margot received an order to report to a labour camp. On June 12, 1942, Anne received a red-and-white plaid diary for her 13th birthday.

ANNE FRANK VIDEO DIARY HOW TO
ANNE FRANK VIDEO DIARY TV
Senior TV producer Saffron Allwood joined us for the duration of the project to write the script and research every aspect of the story.

We aimed to keep the video as informative as possible, yet not overwhelming, and ensure that the sensitive subject matter was handled appropriately. The script went through several iterations to define the core elements of the story, while storyboards were developed to match the visual and voice over concurrently. The story itself spans from the early thirties to the present day, therefore creating an overview of Anne Frank’s diary in the four minute time frame was a challenging task. Working closely with the BBC and external experts, we developed The Diary of Anne Frank to explain the story as if a viewer were hearing it for the first time.
