It is amazing because Anny Frank's book is one of the best selling books of all time and she has become the poster child for innocent people killed during the holocaust and this is the ONLY moving image of her known to exist.
Still doesn't make anything any different. She is still a poster child for innocent people killed in the holocaust, seeing her in a video doesn't make her any more or less important than an undiscovered picture does.
Sure it's cool that they have a clip of her but I'm sure there are just as many other tragic stories during the same time period and really seeing her in a video isn't "amazing, earth-shattering, revealing, shocking, endearing" or any other over used sentiment. Her story still has meaning with or without seeing her in black and white.
