The poignant true story of a Jewish family who hid in an attic for
two years before they were captured by the Nazis. The film follows
the life of celebrated diarist Anne Frank (Millie Perkins), as
remembered in hindsight by her father Otto (Joseph Schildkraut).
Shelley Winters won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and the
film also garnered Oscars for Best Black and White Cinematography
and Best Art Direction, in addition to receiving a further five
nominations.
A dramatization of The Diary of Anne Frank, recording the
experiences of a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis for two
years before being sent to a concentration camp. The introduction,
notes and assignments provide support in tackling the characters,
themes and action of the play.
Having fled from Garmany in 1933 to escape the Nazis, Anne Frank
and her family were forced into hiding in 1940. Anne, devoted to
writing about her experiences, tells us of the tensions and terrors
during the period in which the family hid in an attic above a
factory, their home for two years.
Few more poignant true stories emerged from World War II than the
diary of young Anne Frank. Published long afterwards by her father,
the only family survivor, it records the minutiae of twenty-five
months that two Jewish families spent in hiding from the Gestapo in
an Amsterdam warehouse attic. The constant secrecy, growing hunger
and friction of living in such cramped conditions could not dull
Anne's vibrant personality or her passion for living.
"Mountain Homespun will be of special interest to those studying
southern Appalachian handicrafts, the 1890s handicraft revival, and
northern Protestant missionary work in turn-of-the-century
Appalachia." --North Carolina Historical Review
"Mountain Homespun is much more than a memoir. It offers unrivaled
specific information on the processes of mountain crafts--not only
on weaving, spinning, and dyeing, the author's primary interest,
but also on basketry, quilting, and other pursuits. All in all, the
book is an important publishing event."
--Berea College Newsletter
"This is a wonderful book. It belongs at the bedside of every
spinner and weaver everywhere." --Jude Daurelle, Handwoven
