[Disney+] Although there are some creative decisions that can be debatable, especially in terms of updating the story through fictional characters, the series grows as the shadow of the Nazi threat becomes more suffocating. Actress Bel Powley does a great job of developing her character from her idealism and naiveté to a moral commitment to victims of persecution, putting humanity before safety. It has a good production design and a great soundtrack by Ariel Marx that turns Anne Frank into a secondary character, but whose spirit of resistance and dignity permeates the entire story.

I enjoyed this telling of the Anne Frank story from the side of Miep Giles. Has inspired me to read Anne’s diary. Even if pieces are dramatized still good to see history shown.

What a fascinating different perspective of the Anne Frank story following the secretary who helped hide the Franks. Its slow moving at first but the plot development speeds up and so does the intensity of the plot points. The short series does a great job of showing how bad everything was in Amsterdam at the rising power of the Nazis, as a small genuine family like the Franks just had their whole world turned upside down, but that hope was a very powerful weapon. Very emotional and real and edge of your seat worthy.

Deeply moving and a stark reminder of the horrors of fascism and anti-semitism. Kein Fußbreit dem Faschismus!

It's a good telling of the story from a orignal perspective, but I think they should have respected the Dutch and German languages. These days people watch shows in all kind of languages (La casa de papel. Squid Game for example) and it's all but necessary to divert from the native language, especially in a historic telling. That said, the actors did a great job.
