The movie Forget Me Not: The Anne Frank Story is a fictionalized account of an historical event. Some characters have been changed and others added for dramatic effect.
It is in no way a dramatization of Anne Frank's diary. We do, however, strongly recommend that students read Anne's great literary book, as well as Miep Gies' and Allison Gold's Anne Frank Remembered in addition to viewing the film and using this guide.
It is important to remember that the handbook, the video, and the Forget Me Not Cards are all a part of interdisciplinary and multi-cultural studies of history, biography, literature, geography, tolerance, and intolerance and should be included in the broader scope of any curriculum.
