#AnneFrank. Parallel Stories (2019)

The profound narrative of "#AnneFrank. Parallel Stories" unearths the haunting tales of the Holocaust, woven together through the words of the unforgettable Anne Frank and five other remarkable survivors, Arianna Szörenyi, Sarah Lichtsztejn-Montard, Helga Weiss, and sisters Andra and Tatiana Bucci. Each of them mirrors Anne's fate in a poignant tale of deportation, unimaginable suffering, and stolen youth. The Oscar®-winning Helen Mirren brings to life Anne's story, drawing us into her secret refuge, a room in Amsterdam meticulously recreated by the gifted set designers of the Piccolo Theatre in Milan. The resonance of Anne's words from her diary echo in this space, a stark reminder of a life that could have reached 90 years. Simultaneously, the testimonies of the aforementioned survivors and their descendants intertwine, providing a multi-generational perspective on the horrors they endured. Guiding us off this meticulously crafted set and through a virtual journey of the realities of Anne's life is Martina, a contemporary teenager. She uses the universal language of social media, with its photos and posts, to share her discoveries and reflections as she travels from the chilling grounds of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany to the solemn Holocaust Memorial in Paris, and finally to Anne's secret refuge in Amsterdam. This poignant documentary, graced with the original soundtrack by Lele Marchitelli and produced in collaboration with Anne Frank Fond Basel, not only echoes Anne's voice but also the insightful reflections of Rabbi Michael Berenbaum, a distinguished historian and professor of Jewish studies. "#AnneFrank. Parallel Stories" is a journey through time and emotion, a tribute to those whose faces have remained in the shadows, and a sobering reminder of history's darkest hour.
