Only known footage of Anne Frank posted

The only known video footage of Anne Frank has been posted on YouTube, the Guardian newspaper reports.

The video, posted by the Anne Frank Museum, shows the then-13-year-old girl leaning over a balcony to catch a glimpse of a nearby wedding starting about nine seconds into the clip.

Frank was captured on the film on July 22, 1941.  Her family went into hiding from the Nazis just a year later, the Guardian reported.  She died in a concentration camp in March 1945.

According to the newspaper,

The museum has had the footage for some time, but thought YouTube would be a good platform to show the film and the other films about her life. It’s another way to bring the life of Anne Frank to the attention of younger people, and all people worldwide.

Anne became widely known a decade later when the diary she was keeping was published.
