Anne Frank: The Play, The Franks And The Van Daan

In the autobiographical play of Anne Frank, the Franks and Van Daans are forced into hiding because of the ongoing Holocaust. They hide in an annex in a nearby jam factory. They live a peculiar silent life of hiding. They share dreams, memories, and nightmares despite the circumstances. Stress relievers, known as coping mechanisms, help some residents of the annex relieve the burden of imprisonment due to Nazi persecution against Jewish people.

In the play “Anne Frank” they are located in Amsterdam July 6th 1942. They are in hiding in what is called the Annex during WWII. The people at the Annex are Anne Frank, Margot Frank, Mr.Frank and Mrs. Frank, Peter Van Daan, Mr. Van Daan, Mrs. Van Daan, and Mr Dussel, we know this because Mr. Frank gave Anne Frank a diary and she wrote in the diary a lot giving us this information. In times like this, you would need lots of Courage, Compassion, and Sacrifice to get through the tough times.

The Play of the Diary of Anne Frank starts out in the annex in the warehouse in Amsterdam, Holland where Anne Frank and seven others hid out during World War II. It opens with Otto Frank and Miep Gies standing in the annex alone in 1945. Mr. Frank had just come home from the concentration camps, being the one survivor from the annex. After conversing for awhile, Miep hands Mr. Frank Anne’s diary from the days of living in the annex. He starts to read the book, as it slowly flashes back to 1942 when it all began…

In the beginning, there are historical events happening in this story that directly impact the mood of the characters. An example of this would be a direct quote from Mr Frank that says “ The news of the war was good. The British and Americans were sweeping

Mr. Frank, while reading her diary, realizes how pure and unbroken she is. In the last scene of the play, it is made very clear how torn apart Mr. Frank is. He can not even live in the same place anymore because it kills him to be reminded of his family every day.

When World War II started, and the Nazi’s started to invade Western Europe, the threat against Jews grew. As a result, Anne’s family was forced to go into hiding in Amsterdam. They hid out in an apartment above Anne’s father’s company with the Van Daan family and a dentist named Mr. Dussel. They called it the Secret Annex. Anne describes having a very close relationship with her father but not getting along well with her mother.

Franks family members also get sick multiple times throughout the novel and some even pass away. Mentally, throughout the novel, Frank often times thinks very poorly of himself. He is ashamed of his family life, ashamed that his father is an alcoholic who drinks away the money he makes instead of sending it back to Frank and his mother and brothers. He’s ashamed that his mother has to beg for food and money, ashamed that he has to go out onto the streets and pick up coal because his family cannot afford it. Growing up in this state of mind puts Frank in a bad place because he ends up feeling ashamed of himself and

There are many similarities between the Anne Frank movie and the Anne Frank play script. First, one of the most apparent similarities is the part where the robber breaks into the building and hears the families upstairs. The author kept this part of the story the same because the robber eventually told the nazi’s that people were hiding in the attic. It made sense to keep this part the same between the movie and the play because it is the most logical way for the nazi’s to find out that they were hiding.

In the touching play The Diary of Anne Frank, directed by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Mr. Frank remains calm, positive, and organized in the face of danger. His great attributes allow the inhabitants of the attic to stay alive for 2 years and, on the most part, stay happy. His attitude to stay positive is something we all should reflect on.

Changes happen to all of us. The change may be good or it may be bad. We all experience changes and the changes reflect how we think, act, or talk in society. Every change is different and every change has different outcomes. In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank change quite a lot throughout the story.

She wanted to be respected and didn’t want to cause trouble, even though she did. As time went by, she started to change her emotions and felt more empathy.
