The holocaust was a time of pain, and misery; of loss, and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes, though, when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide, we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two, to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale, in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced. At Stratford, "The Diary of Anne Frank," written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket, which is adapted by Wendy Kesselman permitted me to do just that. This compelling play confines the action of the story to a concealed storage attic, in which the claustrophobic realities…

The Diary of Anne Frank identifies that the stereotype of a teenafer is moody, argumentative, and self-absorbed. The three teenagers, Anne, Margot, and Peter commonly show these traits in the play, The Diary of Anne Frank.…
“It seems life is at a standstill” (Diary of Anne Frank, pg 749). This seems to capture the people in annex’s situation perfectly. The slow decent into madness clawing at each other and arguing while waiting for some news to arrive. They all feel trapped in the walls of the annex unable to leave. Though happiness shines upon them at times, it never lasts. They can only cling to what memories they have, and wait for the future to arrive.…

Anne Frank's internal conflict stems mainly from the adolescent turmoil that most teenagers experience. She wanted very much to be a normal, goofy teenager. At some points, Anne stated that she felt like two different people. One was the fun, noisy, annoying Anne, and the other was deep, quiet, serious, and afraid to let it show because of her fear of being laughed at by others. Anne also shared her struggles with a lack of self-confidence. She dreamed of being a journalist or writer, but she questioned how she could accomplish such a dream due to her shyness and insecurities. Anne often wrote about how she felt grown up one minute and like a child the next. She experienced tumultuous feelings about sex and relationships with boys. In particular,…

The Holocaust was an exceedingly tragic event that took the lives of over six million innocent people, and the concentration camps were an integral factor that depicted Hitler’s determination to wipe out an entire race. Unfortunately, the play fails to depict the harsh reality of concentration camps. Anne was seized by the Nazi police and her story was left untold; Because of this, there is nothing that would give the viewers an understanding of life in concentration camps. “… as she hears the sound of the car, its brakes squealing as it comes to a sudden stop… the others stand rigid, waiting, terrified… there is a sound of violent pounding on the door below.” (Diary, pg 169) This describes the seconds before the Nazi Police entered their home, and seized Anne and her family. If the play were to be put on production we would be failing our goal of an appropriate Holocaust remembrance day. The Diary of Anne Frank is only a peek into one girl’s life during the time. We should focus on a story that encompasses true strength the Jews had to have in order to endure the barbarity they…
