I'm Still Here: Real Diaries of Young People Who Lived During the Holocaust (2005)

Brings to life the diaries of young people who witnessed first-hand the horrors of the Holocaust. Through an emotional montage of archival footage, personal photos, and text from the diaries themselves, the film celebrates a group of brave, young writers who refused to quietly disappear.

While Anne Frank’s diary is widely recognized as a central document of the Holocaust, less well known are 60 other surviving accounts written by young men and women, which bear witness to that dark moment in world history. Zach Braff introduces this powerful documentary by Lauren Lazin, based on the book Salvaged Pages: Young Writers’ Diaries of the Holocaust by the film’s writer Alexandra Zapruder. Dramatic readings are provided by Ryan Gosling, Kate Hudson, Joaquin Phoenix, Elijah Wood, Amber Tamblyn, Oliver Hudson and Brittany Murphy.
