The Diary of Anne Frank

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most famous and haunting stories to emerge
in the 20th Century. The memoirs of this young Jewish girl, forced to hide nearly
two years to escape Nazi persecution, are an essential part of how we remember
one of the darkest periods of human history.

Wendy Kesselmans adaptation of the original Goodrich and Hackett script draws
from previously unpublished parts of Annes diary, in a way that breathes life into
this passionate, complex young woman.

For nearly two years, Anne, her father, mother and sister, along with the Van Daan
family, and a neighborhood dentist, hid in a secret annex above Otto Franks
former office in Amsterdam, surrounded by the increasing horrors of the world outside.

Annes hopeful spirit and her chronicled story of resilience continue to resonate
deeply, making her story as vital today as when her diary was first published.
