Declaration
film director
“Because this historical context has already been treated so much on the screen, I had to find the right angle. I thought back on two stories that had a huge effect on me. The one my grandmother told me, and The Diary of Anne Frank. Today, with seventy years of hindsight, we know history, and the tragic fate of Anne Frank; but when she wrote her diary, she didn’t know what the end would be, and would never get to write it.”
