Anne Frank film rejected by foundation in Amsterdam
The Anne Frank Foundation refused to promote Seiya Araki's animated feature based on the diary citing content concerns. The 103 minute film, due to premier on Anne Frank's birthday June 12 in Amsterdam, reimagines wartime history but omits a focus on Nazi persecution. Anne, who died in Bergen-Belsen in 1945 at age 15, hid with her family in a secret annex before their capture.
