KUED Presents the Premire of Masterpiece Classic "The Diary of Anne Frank" Sunday, April 11 at 8:00 p.m.

Masterpiece Theatre offers a new two-hour adaptation of Anne Frank's feisty, poignant, and timeless story of life in a cramped, hidden annex during World War II. A remarkable performance by newcomer Ellie Kendrick (An Education) brings to life the eloquent reflections of a teenage girl trying to live an ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances. Since its publication more than 50 years ago, Anne Frank's Diary has become one of the world's most widely read work of non-fiction. "Every generation needs to look at Anne from its own perspective," says executive producer Rebecca Eaton.

Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh Tuesday, April 13 at 11:00 p.m.

This Independent Lens special tells the compelling story of the life and death of Hannah Senesh, a young Jewish-Palestinian girl who joined a military rescue mission for Jews in Hungary during the Holocaust. Parachuting behind enemy lines, she was ultimately captured, tortured and executed by the Nazis. With unprecedented access to the Senesh family archive, and through interviews, eyewitness accounts, surviving members of the rescue mission and the prolific writings of Hannah and her mother Catherine Senesh, Blessed Is the Match looks back on the life of a uniquely talented and complex girl who came of age in a world descending into madness.
