“This is a story we must never forget. We are beginning to lose the generation of people who are a living witness of what happened in Europe in those terrible days, and so it’s all the more important to keep the memory alive looking into the future…
I just feel the diary of Anne Frank is an amazing teaching tool, an amazing vessel to carry the real understanding of human experiences of the past into our present and very much into our future.
I find it very, very important and that’s why I wanted to do this piece”.
