In honour of Anne Frank’s birthday and Youth Month, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre by Special Arrangement with the Historic Documentary Film Society, invites you to a screening of the acclaimed documentary Anne Frank: Parallel Stories.

Anne Frank who was denied her youth, celebrated her 13th birthday, her last in freedom on June 12th, 1942. For the next two years in hiding, she recorded in her treasured birthday gift her most intimate thoughts and impressions. Today, her diary speaks volumes as a key voice from the Holocaust.

The screening will be introduced by Selwyn Klass, co-founder of The Historic Documentary Film Society.

Narrated by Dame Helen Mirren with readings from Anne’s diary in the secret annex, the film includes interviews with five survivors who were her age when they were deported.

A suggested token donation of R50 (in cash) is requested towards the Joburg Child Welfare (JWC), where every child is safe, nurtured and empowered to reach their full potential.
