ANASTASIA: THE RIDDLE OF ANNA ANDERSON

The most dramatic unsolved mystery of the century. In July 1918, Tsar Nicholas II, his wife and their five children were shot by the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution. In February 1920, a woman many believe was the Grand Duchess Anastasia was rescued from a canal in Berlin. In July 1992, the body of Anastasia, the youngest of the Tsar’s daughters, was found to be missing from her family's grave. This is the story of what happened in between.
