Emma Thompson: Her would haves are our real possibilities

In a speech Academy Award winning actress Emma Thompson talks about Anne Frank and how alive, truthful and humorous she was in her writing. Emma reads two bits from the dairy that make her laugh. She continues by telling what kind of person she thinks Anne Frank would have become, had she survived the holocaust.

Emma Thompson gave this speech on 1 February 2006 at the launch of the Virtual Anne Frank Tree. By leaving a leaf in the virtual Anne Frank Tree, you can show that the diary of Anne Frank has inspired you, too. Go to http://www.annefranktree.com.

Emma Thompson, explained Anne frank from a perspective,that she brought to light-not only from her having read Annes diary when, in her teenaged years,but also from her great ability as an incredible actress,and,her own sense of sincere feelings -felt-almost ,as though,she was channeling Anne frank as she spoke. Very beautifully well done~
