I had seen that clip awhile back on the Anne Frank site and clicked it through over and over. It was moving to see the actual Anne but especially in an everyday moment. Just a child looking out her window, at home where she was safe and thought she always would be. The briefness of it, the innocuousness of the capture of her living and breathing is so sad. That was the "enemy" to the Germans. It will never make sense.
