I'm saving it up so that I can watch it all in one go. I'm surprised that it is on so early in the evening though (i.e. before the 9:00 watershed)

Having been to the Anne Frank house/museum, the set appears to be an exact replica of the limited living space, The acting is brilliant too.

I would have gone crazy being couped up like that in such a small area. How lucky are we?

Just watched all of the half hour episodes - so sad but brilliant! I just cannot imagine what it must have been like. I haven't plucked up the courage to watch the following documentary yet. What happened to the people who helped them?

The 2 women were allowed to stay in Amsterdam. The 2 men were both arrested and sent to camps. 1 was released due to illness, the other escaped when the train he was travelling on to a concentration camp was bombed, I think, by American aircraft. He survived the war.
