Melissa Gilbert demonstrated her acting chops by portraying Anne Frank, and pretty much shed her stereotype as a Little House on the Prairie lead character. I know some people may find it discomforting that a gentile plays a Jewish role, but it demonstrates the incredible range of Melissa Gilbert (who was married to Bruce "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" Boxleitner, and is now married to Timothy "Thirtysomething" Busfeld).
I think this movie needs to be screened in all schools on 20 January 2017. Really. We need to be reminded of what happens when the community fails to listen to reason, and populism (a polite way to say demagogues if you know what I mean) rule the public discourse.
