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Wendy Kesselman's adaptation of the original Goodrich and Hackett script draws from previously unpublished parts of Anne's diary, in a way that breathes life into this passionate, complex young woman.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 Frank's former office in Amsterdam, surrounded by the increasing horrors of the world outside.

Anne's hopeful spirit and her chronicled story of resilience continue to resonate deeply. Her story is as vital today as when her diary was first published.
