INSPIRATION WITH LALIT MOHAN SHUKLA: Anne Frank

Anne Frank has become a famous name because of her poignant diary, which has been translated into many languages. Anne Frank's diary describes the frightening period experienced by Anne, her family and friends in the annexe. It also expresses her hopes and aspirations for the future, which were never to be realised.

My Best Friend Anne Frank, based on Alison Leslie Gold's Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend, stems from Goslar's account of their friendship. While the film is based on real life friendship, cinematic liberty is taken to play up or down some scenes.

On August 4, 1944, Anne Frank's family's hiding place was discovered by the Gestapo, and she was taken to Auschwitz in Nazi-occupied Poland before being transferred to Bergen-Belsen in Germany. According to the Dutch government, Anne died during a typhus epidemic in March 1945..

The conditions in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were horrible. The prisoners were hungry and cold, and many of them fell ill due to the poor hygiene in the camp. Anne became ill as well, with spotted typhus. Anne Frank died in February 1945.
