Where is Anne Frank? - Touching animated film

In the animated film "Where is Anne Frank" by the Israeli director Ari Folman, Anne Frank's imaginary friend Kitty, who wrote about her in her diary, is the actual main character. Kitty comes to life and takes young viewers on a quest to find Anne. She follows Anne's footsteps, from the Secret Annex to her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
