“Jewish Television Magazine,” the monthly magazine-format program produced by the Council of Jewish Federations, will begin its second season in September with a program devoted entirely to “The World of Anne Frank.” This special edition of “Jewish Television Magazine” was produced by WJUF, an affiliate of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago. The story of Anne Frank has inspired people and captured their imaginations ever since her remarkable diary was first published in 1947.
The TV program is based on an exhibition of photographs of Anne Frank and the world in which she lived, including some never before seen, which has been touring the U.S. While the exhibition was shown at Spertus College of Judaica in Chicago, WJUF decided to create a documentary including many of these rare and moving photographs.
