"I Am Anne Frank" is a two-part episode, consisting of the fourth and fifth episodes of the second season of the FX anthology television series American Horror Story. The first part aired on November 7, 2012, and the second aired on November 14, 2012. The first part is written by Jessica Sharzer and directed by Michael Uppendahl, and the second part is written by Brad Falchuk and directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. Both episodes are rated TV-MA (LSV).
"Part 2" was nominated for Primetime Emmy Awards in Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or Movie and Outstanding Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie. The episodes' storylines follow a patient (Franka Potente) admitted to Briarcliff identifying herself as Anne Frank, as well as revealing the identity of the killer known as "Bloody Face". Chloë Sevigny guest stars as Shelley.
A woman (Franka Potente) is brought to the asylum for an "involuntary psychiatric hold" after a public brawl. The woman identifies herself as Anne Frank, who is presumed to have died of typhus 19 years earlier at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She claims that she had to let the public believe she was dead in order to not diminish the impact of the horrors of the camps. She spots Dr. Arden (James Cromwell), who resembles the camp's Dr. Hans Grüper, and attacks him. Grüper had conducted random experiments on the women there. Arden denies it, but there was some Nazi memorabilia previously found at his house.
