Through The Eyes of a Friend

Nationally acclaimed program on Anne Frank & young people in the Holocaust

What does it mean to survive?

Bear witness to the world of Anne Frank and other young people living through the Holocaust, from the point of view of Anne Frank's "best friend."

Sarah is a historically accurate composite character, based on the testimonies of those who knew Anne Frank, as well as other victims, resisters and survivors of the Holocaust and World War II.

Like Anne Frank, Sarah is a young Jewish girl in Amsterdam when Hitler comes to power in the 1930s, whose experiences under Nazi rule, in hiding and through the concentration camps parallel Anne’s story.

Through the Eyes of a Friend remains faithful to Anne Frank's life and her world.
