What happens

Anne no Nikki: Anne Frank Monogatari (アンネの日記 アンネ·フランク物語, Anne no nikki: Anne Furanku monogatari; lit. "Anne's Diary: The Story of Anne Frank"), is a 1979 Japanese anime television film directed by Eiji Okabe. The film is also sometime listed as Anne Frank Monogatari: Anne no Nikki to Douwa yori (アンネ・フランク物語 -アンネの日記と童話より- lit. "The Story of Anne Frank - From Anne's Diary and Fairy Tales-"). The film is notable for being the first animated adaptation of Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl (1942–1944) and was co-produced by Nippon Animation and Asahi Broadcasting Corporation to commemorate Anne's 50th birthday. The film uses four of Anne's short fantasy stories as interludes to her confinement. It also features an interview with Anne's father Otto Frank, and real live action footage from Nazi concentration camps and Netherlands landscapes. It aired on TV Asahi on 28 September 1979. It is said to have started the subgenre of child-focused anime about war such as Barefoot Gen and Grave of the Fireflies. The film is currently unavailable, having never been re-broadcast or released to home video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
