Anne is a vivid presence here, a child whose reckless brio offended some of the town's proper Jews. But we also get a fine image of the doting Otto, who underestimated Hitler's genocidal itch. He was not the only Jew to do so. A family friend, Hanneli Goslar, recalls that as late as 1940, her father would dress up as the Fuhrer and ring the Franks' doorbell for a shock and a giggle; he later died in the Bergen-Belsen death camp. Goslar and a dozen others weave the tapestry of their lives and Anne's, from...

The film concerns the 42-year career of the staff photographer of the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and is part of a benefit program for Jacob's Pillow and the Film/Video Foundation. The program also includes a performance by Lotte Goslar and her Pantomime Circus. Tickets are $10 for students...

...Hoax. But armies also have bureaucracies. The Defense Ministry, completing its routine file, needed additional documentation on Schneider's German citizenship. The city officials of Goslar could find none, and thus began the first unraveling of a forged life that resulted last week in Robert Schneider's standing trial in Bonn for 52 cases of fraud, 25 cases of falsification of documents, and various charges of unlawfully assuming academic titles. While all Germany guffawed at the hoax pulled on the new German army, the state prosecutor indignantly stated that the accused was plain Robert Schneider, 39, a house...
