Digitization of Holocaust memory
And Anne Frank’s life has been taken up and performed as the subject of her work worldwide in movies, dramas, plays, animations, manga, etc., based on “The Diary of a Young Girl.” It is non-fiction that faithfully depicts Anne’s life.
Seventy-five years after the war, the Holocaust survivors are aging, their memories and physical strength are declining, and the number of people who can tell the truth and the situation at that time will be zero shortly. The so-called digitization of memories, in which the testimonies of Holocaust survivors are recorded and stored in videos and 3D in an attempt to pass on the memories and experiences of those days to posterity, is being actively promoted. Many Holocaust movies are digitized and distributed online, but they are often made into DVDs worldwide and stored as audiovisual materials in libraries and used in Holocaust education. Digitized testimonies and videos are also teaching materials for Holocaust education in Europe, the United States, and Israel. They watch Holocaust movies in class, discuss and debate, and write reports.

“Where is Anne Frank” is about the Holocaust era when Anne was persecuted, and the fictional character Anne was talking about in her diary when she appeared in “The Diary of Anne Frank.” It’s a so-called fiction, a creative anime movie in which Kitty comes out, and each story unfolds.
The non-fiction part based on Anne’s life is thoroughly mixed with the creative fiction. However, the position of Anne and the Jews at that time is also drawn, and you can get a glimpse of the state of the Holocaust era and the feelings of the Jewish girl who spent that time.
