A special episode of the popular KRO tv show De Reünie (The Reunion) which brought together 12 former classmates of Anne Frank attracted over 1.6 million viewers on Sunday night, reports ANP news service.

The show talked to nine former pupils of the Montessori primary school on Amsterdam’s Nierstraat (1940-1941) and six students from class 1L2 of the Jewish Lyceum (1941-1942). Three of the 15 pupils were in the same class as Anne Frank in both primary and secondary school.
Anne Frank wrote about the children in her class in her famous diary. Unlike Anne Frank, several of them survived the Second World War and emigrated to different parts of the world.
Anne Frank would have been 80 years old this year if she had not died in a Nazi concentration camp.
