Auf dem Weg von Anne Frank

Contemporary witnesses

Survivors tell their stories…

Numerous conversations in prior to the project and the associated historical backgrounds initiated research for survivors of the former transit camp Westerbork as well as for eye-witnesses of the past events. Given the public generational change and the resulting declining memory of the events at that time, it is more important to capture the experiences and stories of the last witnesses for future generations. ”On the way of Anne Frank” seeks to document personal and exceedingly emotional accounts as they happened from the point of view of the persons concerned.
