Diary of Anne Frank
The story Diary of Anne Frank was a very interesting book which
showed the ways a group of Jewish people during the 1940's went about
trying to conceal their identity and themselves. This story was a true
story taken from a diary of a young girl during the incident. This was
made into a play during 1955. This was praised as Frances Goodrich's
and her husband Albert Hackett's most famous work as it was performed.
The play was started in November of 1945. As Mr. Frank began to
read the diary, it flashed back to July 1942 in an attic in Amsterdam
because this was where the people were hiding and represented the type
of place that Jews all over were living. The most important part of
the play were the people who were acted out. They gave the play a
sense of flavor and realism. Anne, a young German girl was
particularly amusing because of the scuffles she and everyone around
her seemed to have. Anne's Mother was a woman who was more traditional
than anything else and wanted Anne to be more like a lady. One such
person was Margot. As Anne's sister, she was very nice and didn't
speak out and was very proper. The Frank's weren't the only ones in
this attic, there were other people such as the Van Daans. Mr. Frank
let them stay because they needed a place to hide and since they had
helped him out so much in the past by actually teaching Mr. Frank
German, he felt it was the least he could do. The Van Daans had a son
which Anne later became interested in. Peter was the only person who
Anne could understand and knew that Anne could understand him. They
could both talk to each other freely when they were together. Dussel
soon joined the group. He was only supposed to be up in the attic for
a short time, but he ended up staying till the end. He had to leave
his Dentistry to hide out from the Germans. These people would not of
lasted too long without the help of Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler who gave
them the necessities they needed to survive up in the attic for so
long. All these people gave their own personality and views to add new
dimensions to the play and make it more enjoyable. They all were
believable by their realism and how they acted to certain situations.
The play was about the conflicts and struggles two families living
together for a long period of time seemed to get a bit crazy. In
general, they were hiding from the Nazi's. During their hiding out,
Anne and Peter soon found a friendship between each other and started
talking building up a relationship after about 2 years of nothing.
This story was a prime example of what tons of families and different
people had to live through during these hard times. The play
demonstrated it the way it was as people who are nice and happy at the
beginning and start to crumble as the years go by. Mr. Van Daan
crumbled because he started stealing food while he knew his own son was
close to starving.
I thought this was a very interesting play about several groups of
people and how they were able to survive up in the attic for about 4
years in the attic with almost only themselves. I think this is a good
book for people who like suspense as in if Anne and everyone else gets
caught ultimately in the end of the play. It also would be good for
someone who was learning how Jews lived during the 1940's with the
Germans as a threat to their freedom.
