Diary of Anne Frank - July 9 -24, 2010

Imagination Theater presents the Tony Award winning show, The Diary of Anne Frank July 9-July 24, 2010.

This is the true story of a young Jewish girl, Anne Frank who kept a diary during World War II. As Jews in German-occupied Holland, Anne and her family feared for their lives. For two years, beginning in 1942, Anne, her family, and others hide in a secret attic-annex above a warehouse to avoid capture and deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. The annex was discovered by the Nazi authorities in 1944 and Anne's family and friends were shipped to concentration camps. Anne and her sister perished in Bergen-Belsen. The only survivor of the group, Anne's father Otto, survived and later published his daughter's diary in 1948.

Anne could never have imagined the impact her words would have on generations of readers. More than sixteen million copies of her diary have been sold worldwide, and it remains the most read primary account of the Holocaust. On July 15, 1944, Anne wrote, ‘‘I feel the suffering of millions.'' Anne had no idea that her story would become the unlikely testament of those millions.
