Summary
Adapted from Anne Frank: The Diary of a
Young Girl, edited by Otto Frank, winner of the 1956 Pulitzer
Prize, Tony Award, Critics Circle Award, and virtually every
other coveted prize of the theatre. During the Nazi occupation
of the Netherlands Anne Frank began to keep a diary on June 14,
1942, two days after her 13th birthday, and twenty two days
before going into hiding with her mother, father, sister, and
three other people. The group went into hiding in the
sealed-off upper rooms of the annex of her father's office
building in Amsterdam. The sealed-off upper-rooms also
contained a hidden door which the Franks would hide in during
the parts when Nazi soldiers were investigating the buildings
for harbored Jews. They remained hidden for two years and one
month, until their betrayal in August 1944, which resulted in
their deportation going to Nazi concentration camps.
