March 5 - The Diary of Anne Frank
In Nazi-occupied Amsterdam during World War II, the persecutions against Jews compel teenager Anne Frank and her family to go into hiding in an attic. Together with another family, the Van Daans, and a dentist named Dussel, the group must endure the pressures of co-existing in such cramped quarters, while constantly living with the fear of discovery. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards.
