Violence
Some brutal and heartrending descriptions of violence. The subject matter makes for an intensely emotional viewing experience. Briefly, grainy footage shows victims' starved and naked bodies, stacked and awaiting disposal.

Is it any good?
No attempt is made to sensationalize the accounts of those whose lives touched Anne Frank's. The stories spoken by survivors and relatives (among them Anne's beloved father Otto, from an earlier interview) generate enough pain and drama for several movies. The video provides an emotional and educational experience that parents and their older children can share, but families may want to discuss beforehand what they know of the Holocaust, and the types of images the video is likely to show.
