Warning: Contains graphic and disturbing footage of the Holocaust that may upset viewers.

Anne Frank was one of over 1,000,000 Jewish children, and one of 6,000,000 Jewish people who were tragically killed in the Holocaust. She gained international recognition posthumously following the publication of her diary, which documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.

The song I have used is 'Holland, 1945' by Neutral Milk Hotel which is owned and licensed by Domino Records.

"Put Together"/Edited by Hayley Stuart.

This is just the "experimental" scene from a short film called "Closing Doors" (The full film can't be posted online for various reasons.) The film is about a deaf girl suffering to sleep at night because of various things in her life - the death of her sister, the distance between her mother and the boy she likes, but is too shy to talk to.
