Netflix Feb. 1), based on the 1997 book “Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend,“ by Alison Leslie Gold.While Frank did not survive World War II, Pick-Goslar did, and the now 93-year-old, who lives in Jerusalem, still cherishes the memory of her childhood playmate. In an interview with Scholastic in the late 1990s, Pick-Goslar shared that her friend was always an avid writer — constantly scribbling in her journal — who could also command a room.
“Everybody would ask her ‘What are you writing?’ and the answer always was ‘It’s none of your business,’ ” Pick-Goslar said in the interview. In the film, Pick-Goslar is played hauntingly by Josephine Arendsen. She and Frank (Aiko Beemsterboer) love star-gazing, and in one scene, Hannah points to a constellation and tells her little sister: “That saucepan over there has seven stars.
One of those is me and the biggest one is Anna.” Later, the starry-eyed Frank confides to her friend about her life’s ambitions: wanting to see “the whole wide world” and become an actress or writer — “a very famous one.” In real life, the close confidantes were suddenly torn apart in July 1942. Pick-Goslar, who thought the Franks safely escaped to Switzerland, didn’t know the family’s true whereabouts: they were still nearby in Amsterdam, cramped in the attic of a house eventually called the “Secret Annex.” There, Frank penned what would become the world’s most famous diary, eventually published by her father, Otto, the sole survivor from the group. It’s since sold 30 million copies and been translated into more than 70 languages.
