France 2 Marks 80th Anniversary of Anne Frank’s Death with Documentaries

Two new films explore Anne Frank’s legacy, her journal, and the personal reflections of author Lola Lafon.

France 2 airs a special evening featuring 'Anne Frank - Journal d’une adolescente' and 'Quand tu écouteras cette chanson' to commemorate 80 years since Anne Frank's death.
The first documentary immerses viewers in Anne Frank's diary, reimagining her story for a modern audience with minimal commentary and a focus on her own words.
The second film, adapted from Lola Lafon’s book, intertwines Anne Frank’s history with the author’s reflections on memory, absence, and her own Jewish heritage.
Both works emphasize the enduring relevance of Anne Frank’s writing and explore how her legacy has been interpreted and sometimes distorted over time.
The documentaries combine archival materials, personal narratives, and evocative imagery to engage audiences emotionally and intellectually.
