Anne Frank, Otto Frank, and the Holocaust: with Father John Neiman

When John Neiman first read The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, he couldn’t have anticipated the lifelong impact that it would have on him. Unable to forget Anne’s words, he wrote a letter to her father, Otto Frank, and the two became close friends. Otto’s steadfast belief in the goodness and dignity of all people would later inspire John to join the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church. Tonight, Father John offers a rare opportunity to learn about the Franks and their experiences during the Holocaust from a source close to the family.
