It looks like Anne to me and when I viewed it I felt it was more eerie than chilling….just because we know what was going to happen to all those innocent men,women & children.

I’ve read every book I could find on Anne Frank and now I feel like I want to read them all again.
Peace~

Certainly one of the first movies was Fred Ott’s Sneeze (also known as Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze) An 1894 American, short, black-and-white, silent documentary film shot by William K.L. Dickson and starring Fred Ott. It was the first motion picture to be copyrighted in the United States.
In the five-second film one of Thomas Edison’s assistants, Fred Ott, takes a pinch of snuff and sneezes. According to the Library of Congress, “It was filmed for publicity purposes as a series of still photographs to accompany an article in Harper’s Weekly”.

So, yes, it’s a MOVIE and a modern VIDEO has been made from it. If it were not Anne Frank, it would not be chilling or moving in any way. It would simply be a short clip from someone’s home movies from the 40’s. Anne was a typical young girl of the time, similar to thousands of others who made the best of a bad situation. the fact that her diary survived made her famous. there may have been hundreds like her who also wrote diaries that simply did not survive. Certainly she is an inspiration for many, and it is very significant that her story survived, but remember many more may have had very similar stories. We should however be thankful that at least her story survived so we can learn from it.

It will only end when all of us want it to make it stop.

Read and get to know Anne Frank and her family and introduce them to all around you. Perhaps in doing so, you will find in yourself a voice to join other voices and help create a lasting solution to end these attrocities in our world.

And in response to Eldon’s insensitive question above: it doesn’t bother you to see a young girl full of life and know what her fate is/was? Are you a skinhead or Neo Nazi or what?!

It seems like this all happened a very long time ago, yet it’s interesting to observe how relatively contemporary the neighborhood and people appear. I was born a mere 3 years after Anne’s death. The world cannot forget the inhumanity and horror of Nazi reign.

Whats chilling about it? Well, look how everything looks matter of fact and all sunny and normal. Now think about what is yet to come. Look out your own window one day, see the everyday goings on-one day it might not look quite the same either.
