*The Diary of Anne Frank*

dramatized by Francis Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Directed by Fritzie Stroessner

The Jewish Frank and Van Daan families hide from the Nazis by cramming themselves into a loft over a small factory. Harry Kraler and his wife Miep endeavour to hide them there for the duration of the German occupation. The confinement is an ordeal of clashing personalities, with youngsters Peter Van Daan and the Frank girls Margot and Anne having to grow up in intimate surroundings, where everyone is deprived of their privacy and under the constant threat of arrest. Inspired by her strong and courageous father Otto, Anne writes a diary to record her feelings under the strange circumstances.
