The Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam has posted the only known video of the famous teenage diarist on YouTube. The video shows neighbors getting married on July 22, 1941, with Anne Frank briefly shown on the balcony. Here's the video's description:July 22 1941. The girl next door is getting married. Anne Frank is leaning out of the window of her house in Amsterdam to get a good look at the bride and groom. It is the only time Anne Frank has ever been captured on film. At the time of her wedding, the bride lived on the second floor at Merwedeplein 39. The Frank family lived at number 37, also on the second floor. The Anne Frank House can offer you this film footage thanks to the cooperation of the couple.Anne Frank died at the age of 15 of typhus in the German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, seven months after her arrest. Tragically, it was just two weeks before British and Canadian troops liberated the camp.
