This is one of the few television interviews Otto Frank gave. Sitting in one of the rooms of the Secret Annex, he is talking about his surprise at the things his …
thank for everything you did after you had to suffer from the loss of your whole family. And thank you for having this wonderful daughter who became an inspiration for every young generation after her
The poor man I couldn’t imagine what he went threw I look up to Anne as a romodel so I’m glad he published it to show the world the horrors that they and many more had to go threw
Poor man on losing such a loving family and friends! if only anne saw herself today! Oh man you know very she'll never be forrgotten, Beacuse heros are always remembered but legends never die
This man lost his whole world, And had no idea what was going through his daughters head. Imagine reading her diary and getting to know your own daughter with more depht while knowing she died from disease,weakness and starvation in a camp where innocent people were treated like useless animals. Heartbreaking.
Meu Deus…Que profunda tristeza gravada na alma do Sr. Otto, pai de Anne Frank. Tanto sofrimento causado pelo nazismo. Um herói sobrevivente da crueldade de Hitler e seus aliados.
I just watched The Diary of Anne Frank and I cried my eyes out. I'm also reading the book now. I'm so genuinely sorry for Otto. He's a strong man to be able to get through that much pain.
I have always respected Otto Frank since I learned about him due to my great uncle fighting in the war. I was educated on him as a child and as an adult I still look back to their movie and videos.
Otto reminds me of my grandfather he lost his whole family to World War ll. He looks like Otto too. Being Jewish isn't as bad as it was but it still is hard. I have a. "Hitler supporter" in my 2nd period he makes fun of me and criticizes my beleif. I don't want to tell him off because its his opinion but its getting hard to come to class. I love my religion I love spending time with my European and Russian family learn more about Jewish culture I love holiday where we eat, sing, and love I wouldn't trade it for the world . Its amazing to know I will always be loved. I am pretty young (13) but I know World War ll like I know my school. I visit Israel every 4 years so I speak Hebrew and I eat Jewish delicacies and I love it. Last year my family took me to a World War ll memorial and it showed a lot of details. At the end of the memorial it directed you to a room as big as a high school with pictures on the walls. There was pictures of every known Jew who was killed (meaning there is more) and I want to say if there are any Jewish commenters know that I love you and will support to ❤❤❤❤
After losing his whole family the diary was his whole life, Anne should have lived, at the end of her life she thought she had lost her whole family, if she had known her father had survived she would have held on, she would be 87 now.
I will be playing this wonderful, brilliant man in a production of The Diary of Anne Frank this coming December, and I can safely say I've never been more excited for anything in my life. The story of everyone that lived in and assisted those in the Secret Annex is quite tragic, but also incredibly inspiring, and it is a story that will continue on with humanity for as long as civilization stands. Truly a powerful play, and an even more powerful group of people and lives.
It really makes me cry to think Mr Frank did not know his own daughter until after her death. It makes me want to work on my relationship with my parents.
Otto was a amazing man, he has been through such hard times it's just heartbreaking, we all can't imagine😭 I just went to the musical anne, and it made me even cry more, r.i.p the best family that have ever existed❤❤❤
I stop to think of the little things in life that irritate me. Yet I look at Otto and can't imagine I could continue living if I had lost my wife and my children. Just the thought makes me ill to my stomach.
wow may god bless him up in heaven . He will forever be apart of history along with his family. A big Controversy that struck the world happened we were just lucky enough to have someone write it down !
what makes me want to cry my eyes out is when he was talking about Anne's self criticism, he looked so pained and looked like he wanted to cry. It must of hurt so much knowing, after the fact, that your child hated a lot of things about herself. I would just hate knowing that.
even though its not a sad video, it made me cry knowing he lost his children, how do you ever get over the loss of a child? anne and margot where beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this. Otto Frank's generosity, his utter lack of bitterness and his wisdom inspire me to better my life. May his soul rest in peace. God bless.
I feel for them… I was so horrible. BUT… I have a copy of the 1969 copy… Which I will be getting rid of because I read it.. I found 90 percent to be long winded and boring.. a mslal part gave true insight though most say, the girl did not write all of the diary that her father rewrote and or finished or added much of what is in the diary. It is said and I feel this is true, that the diary is written to adult like, so sophisicated to have come from such an inexperienced young girl. Who nos?
I just finished reading her Diary for the first time – at 23, I know I'm a little late to the game. I wish I read it when I was a teenager. I would have gotten so much comfort from it. I'm at a loss for words just now. Her diary is the enduring proof that she was a very special person.
I visited the Anne Frank house in March. It was so emotional and I broke into tears several times during the visit. There is a picture of Otto Frank, on his return to the annexe after the war, in the last room of the museum. That picture is so powerful and peaceful and I begin to cry imagining if my own father was going through that much pain.
Respect for this guy, it's amazing how even after he lost everything, his daughters, his wife, his friends…he still managed to make the most out of his life. And even made it better for other people with the Anne Frank Foundation.
RESPECT! Otto, if only I could've have helped hide you! I would've taken that bullet for y'all and not told them about the secret annex I would have made them find it on their own if they were to find it! I have so much respect for you! And one day I hope to visit the secret annex and just feel the emotions as soon as I walked up that steep, steep stair case leading to the annex!
On April 27, 1943 Anne wrote “The number of air strikes on German cities is increasing daily. We haven't had a good night's rest in ages, and I have bags under my eyes from lack of sleep.” amazing to hear people complain about lack of sleep due to children, etc.. when you read this you realize wow my life is not bad.
I saw the Secret Annex in Amsterdam a week ago. Read the book before I went. When I went it was so sad to know they had been there, alive, and weren't alive to see that they are now honored and prayed for in heaven every day. It was touching.
Him and everybody in the annex are a huge inspiration everyone could learn so much from them
thank for everything you did after you had to suffer from the loss of your whole family. And thank you for having this wonderful daughter who became an inspiration for every young generation after her
The poor man I couldn’t imagine what he went threw I look up to Anne as a romodel so I’m glad he published it to show the world the horrors that they and many more had to go threw
Anne is the reason I started to write diary and my inner self out through writing…She was a very brave girl and beloved of God.
What a great and tragic man.. <3 I hope you, Anne, Margot and the rest of your family found each other.
Anne Frank was a wonderful girl. And Otto Frank was also a great father
Poor man on losing such a loving family and friends! if only anne saw herself today! Oh man you know very she'll never be forrgotten, Beacuse heros are always remembered but legends never die
He's such a amazing man, his daughters were gone. He didn't keep the diary to himself he let us read it
This man lost his whole world, And had no idea what was going through his daughters head.

Can feel the pain he must've went through after hearing the tragic news of beloved daughter 😢
I just watched The Diary of Anne Frank and I cried my eyes out. I'm also reading the book now. I'm so genuinely sorry for Otto. He's a strong man to be able to get through that much pain.
Wow, I just watched this for class, this is really inspiring. I hope that man knew what he did for the world, as well as Anne.
I have always respected Otto Frank since I learned about him due to my great uncle fighting in the war. I was educated on him as a child and as an adult I still look back to their movie and videos.
I hope you are resting in peace Otto

Reading the Diary changed the way I view life. I consider it a must read for all people.

brave man who lost everything and still survived
I have just decided to buy Anne Frank's Diary for my 13 year-old daughter. I hope it will teach her to never take things for granted. Thank you Anne.
Otto Frank was a wonderful man. He gave back to the world after losing all.
Poor Otto. He lost his wife and his two beautiful daughters. It's all Adolf Hitler's fault. That freaking evil ugly man with no heart.
I stop to think of the little things in life that irritate me. Yet I look at Otto and can't imagine I could continue living if I had lost my wife and my children. Just the thought makes me ill to my stomach.

So sad 🙁
Amazing how he can talk about it, it's a very sad story about his daughters.
This has helped me a lot for a report I am doing on Anne Frank! 🙂
even though its not a sad video, it made me cry knowing he lost his children, how do you ever get over the loss of a child? anne and margot where beautiful.
i feel sorry for him
this video helped me out alot for my research project for Anne Frank
Thank you for sharing this. Otto Frank's generosity, his utter lack of bitterness and his wisdom inspire me to better my life. May his soul rest in peace. God bless.
"..most parents don't know really their children." Truth being said.
my heart and prayer goes out to him and his family that didnt Survived the concentration camp.
