To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the classic movie, The Diary of Anne Frank and the current Jewish New Year, the Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Avenue, Huntington, NY, will host a screening of the classic film on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. Millie Perkins, the actress who portrayed Anne Frank in the movie, will make an appearance at the event.

Released around the world between 1959 and 1960, The Diary of Anne Frank told the poignant story of a young Jewish girl in the Netherlands whose family went into hiding from the Nazis. Tragically, they were later found by the Gestapo and Anne perished in a death camp.

Despite her hardships when she and her family lived in a small, secret attic, Anne Frank believed in human good and had hopes for a bright future. She wrote in her diary. "..... when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more."
