Theme Of The Diary Of Anne Frank
In the song “Car Radio” by Twenty One Pilots, there is a lyric that says “I find over the course of our human existence, one thing consists of consistence, and it's that we're all battling fear.” In this quote it talks about how through our human existence we have had to deal with fear. Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett rewrote The Diary of Anne Frank to make it a play. In this play, eight people go into hiding in a secret annex to protect themselves from the Nazi’s during The Holocaust. The strongest theme in the play is, when you are in difficult conditions, being positive and finding light in the situation will help you to survive. This theme is well supported throughout the play. One example of this theme is when the time of quiet

    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…

    For example, robbers start stealing from the warehouse below the "Secret Annex". Because of this, as Anne writes, everyone had to give up certain comforts and be extra careful so they weren't discovered. Everyone must have the lights and water off at certain times of the day so it looks like no one is there. "It is half past eight, come back here, you can't run any more water; walk quietly!" Anne writes when describing their daily routine. Another good example is when the people of the "Secret Annex" constantly talk about what might happen if they had to escape or were discovered. "I hear nothing but this sort of talk the whole day long, invasion and nothing but invasion, arguments about suffering from hunger, dying, bombs, fire extinguishers, sleeping bags, Jewish vouchers, poisonous gases, etc., etc."(149) Altogether, these examples, in some way, show how the setting of The Diary of a Young Girl often supports the theme. There are constant changes to rules to keep everyone safe.…

    “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.…

    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…
