A German entry has won the $2, 000 prize for the best human rights entry in dramatic radio work in the tenth annual competition for the Italian Prize. Even the Israeli member of the jury voted for the German work.

The winning entry was a documentary on Anne Frank, the Jewish ‘teenager whose diary revealed to the world how Jews lived in the underground in Nazi-controlled Europe. The radio script, “Sequel of Anne Frank,” was written by Ernest Schnabel, who also authored a book which traced the Frank girl during the period after her diary ended–after the Nazis seized her.
