OTS - "My dear friend Anne Frank" / WDR releases new eyewitness reports in Augmented Reality
2019. June 12. 09:04
Cologne, Germany, 12 June, 2019 (APA/OTS) - Today, on 12th June,
Anne Frank would have been 90 years old. Her diary is regarded as
the epitome of a testimony to the traumatic horrors of the Second
World War and the crimes against the Jewish people.
Learning from history - the German public broadcaster WDR also
sees that as one of the most important social tasks and wants to
make its contribution. With the innovative app "WDR AR 1933-1945"
it is preserving history for posterity. In February the app was
published with eye-witness reports from children of the war from
London, Leningrad and Cologne. On 12th June with "My dear friend
Anne Frank" a further, moving chapter of contemporary history
appears in augmented reality within the app.
"Anne Frank embodies the struggle between good and evil and
reminds us of the darkest chapter of German history", says WDR
Director-General Tom Buhrow. "Her diary has made clear to the world
what war and totalitarianism can do to people. It is our
responsibility to keep her memory alive in the future. For that
reason, I am proud that the school-friends of Anne Frank have
spoken about their common history for the WDR's AR app - and, in
doing so, have preserved it for the generations to come with
state-of-the-art technology."
Two friends of Anne Frank tell their story about the girl who
became a tragic myth: To record these memories Jacqueline van
Maarsen and Hannah Goslar agreed to be filmed for the app. The
result is impressive: like holograms the app embeds the friends of
Anne Frank in the respective environment of the user and makes the
emotional reports of the two eyewitnesses into a unique experience.
