    Like everything, there were also many differences in the play. For instance, the thief scene was very different. In the play, the thief came during Hanukah and heard the families up above by Peter’s terrible mistake of dropping the lamp. Then after, the thief fled leaving the door gaping wide open. In the movie, this scene occurs quite differently. In the movie, the thief was able to hear the families by Mouschi, the cat. The cat, hungry, was licking the plate and dropped the plate into the sink. It was then that the thief heard them and left. Also the movie elaborates on Peter and Anne’s love story. There is one scene that was not included in the play version of the Diary of Anne Frank. The scene consists of Anne painting a hat while Peter is watching that is not included in the play.…

    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…

    Anne Frank is someone who influenced history long after she was gone, because of her courage, bravery, and willpower that got here and her family through the tough times up until they were seized. Though Anne died at age fifteen in one of the camps, we still see her today as such an accepting human being throughout her life. In one of her very last entries Anne stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This entry proves her beliefs beyond measure that all humans are good people and mean for the best in their own lives. This statement alone expresses everything people need to know about Anne and who she was as a person this shows a maturity level way beyond her years as a young girl of only thirteen…

    There are many different reasons why we read the play today. One reason why we still read this play is so that we can remember the tragedies and hardships of the Jew’s that experienced. The main hardship shown in the play for the Frank’s was being stuck in The Secret Annex for two years with another family and a small amount of food. The main tragedies that millions of jews went through during the holocaust was death and torture in the concentration camps. Another reason we still read this play is to make a personal connection with the families so we can experience what they understand what they and many other families went through during the holocaust. One thing people our age can relate to is how Anne and Peter sometimes fight with their families and think that they do not understand them. Another thing kids could relate to is how Anne seems to act more rebellious as she gets older. Another reason we still read this play is so that Jewish people who read it can learn about what their ancestors…
