The bookshop where Anne Frank had gotten her diary from is still here today. She had a great passion for writing and considered her diary to be her best friend. It became her fantasy friend that she named Kitty.

Kitty kept her company in her long boring days at the ‘achterhuis’. Her big dream was to become a writer some day. Little did she know Kitty would be read by millions of people even years after her death.

In her diary she would write about her school friends. Jacqueline van Maarsen was one of those friends. She would organize movie events at her house because Jewish people were prohibited to visit the theaters. This ban was not initiated by the nazi’s but by the Dutch Cinema Association. Anne and Jacqueline used a pen, paper and scissors to make their own movie tickets and send them around to their classmates. Their favorite movie being Rin Tin Tin.
