"It was a sensitive, memorable interview, in the last year before Otto Frank's death, a perfect example of the BBC's commitment to outstanding television for children - respecting its audience and not talking down to them, delivering the 'inform and educate' principles as strongly and purposely as they did for adult audiences." - Deborah.
