More than all the heaped bones in all the charnel camps of Hitler's Germany, such uncomplicated words as these from the diary of a sensitive little Jewish girl named Anne Frank are making many Germans conscious of the enormity of the crimes they once condoned. Her poignant, posthumously published and dramatized diary became a hit play in scores of German cities as well as in the U.S. She herself, dead at 15, lies buried in a mass grave at Belsen, 50 miles south of Hamburg, where some 25,000 of her fellow Jews died in the last...

And director Marc Allegret keeps things moving at a tediously even pace to an end which comes none...
...work in other posts for service and civic groups. "I believe," he argues, "that only by working with people, can [an editor] obtain that intimate, firsthand knowledge that makes for accurate reporting, and editorial comment and criticism that is easy, natural and fair." Wagnon admits that the community-conscious reporter gets his sympathies involved with his projects, but concludes: "But you become a first-class citizen instead of a second-class citizen who leaves the work to George...
