His 1996 film Anne Frank Remembered was a documentary which attempted to present the story of Anne Frank as record of a historical figure, rather than the fictionalized version of her story as related through the films which had preceded it. In making the film, Blair filmed in actual locations such as the "Achterhuis" (where the family lived in hiding) in Amsterdam, as well as Westerbork and Auschwitz Concentration Camps. He collaborated with Miep Gies, the woman who had helped shelter the Frank family, and who had saved Frank's diary. The film won an Academy Award for Documentary Feature.
