No Asylum: The Untold Chapter of Anne Frank’s Story

9pm, Sky History

Marking Holocaust Memorial Day, this feature documentary is penned as being “something of a prequel to Anne Frank’s iconic diary”. It details recently discovered letters written by Anne’s father, Otto – which hadn’t been seen in nearly 70 years – as he sought help for his family while living under Nazi rule. Leonard Berney, one of the officers who liberated Bergen Belsen where Anne and her sister Margot perished, helps to tell the story. Hollie Richardson
