Shortly after the release, in the summer of 2020 more (Dutch) families were visiting the museum, many of them because kids convinced their parents to visit Anne’s hiding place.įurther afield, we saw an unexpected popularity in certain countries like Brazil and India, and think that we could expand the reach further.

Although there is of course a big difference between a lockdown and Anne’s situation hiding from persecution, we do encourage discussions amongst youngsters on this topic, which happen in the YouTube comments. It wasn't planned that way, but it made the project even more relatable for young people than it would have been in normal circumstances. We launched the project during the first lockdown in the Netherlands. Also, it made it possible to add captions in multiple languages and to geo-fence in a few countries where Anne’s diary is still in copyright. Using YouTube enabled us to distribute the series on a platform everybody in our target group (mainly 10-20 years old) knows and uses.

All characters, locations, and events in the series are based on Anne Frank's diary letters. In the Anne Frank video diary, Luna Cruz Perez plays Anne Frank, sharing her life in the Secret Annex, her thoughts and her feelings with the camera. The premise is: what if, on 12 June 1942, Anne Frank had got a video camera as a birthday present, instead of a diary? It is a YouTube series in 15 episodes based on the diary of Anne Frank. In search of a new way of telling Anne Frank’s life story to young people, Anne Frank House, in partnership with Every Media, developed the Anne Frank video diary.
