JAN NIKLAS AS FRITZ PFEFFER IN THE EMMY WINNING AND
GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED ABC MINISERIES
“ANNE FRANK”
It really
doesn't matter how many times you have seen previous versions
of the story of Anne Frank, whose family tried to save itself
from the Nazi invaders of Amsterdam by living in a secret hiding
place. Watching ABC's four-hour sweep mini is like seeing
it for the first time. No, it's even better. It's like seeing
colors textures and patterns you never realized were there.
Also crucial to the success of this mini are outstanding perfomances
by the entire cast.

- who plays Peter in his later years- look leaden by comparison.
