A story known across the world, The Diary of Anne Frank is the haunting, yet inspiring account of a young Jewish girl and her family’s lives during World War II. Seeking refuge from Nazi persecution, Anne, along with seven others, hid in a “secret annex” in Amsterdam for two years. Told through recordings in Anne’s cherished diary, the play stands as a timeless reflection of her fear, hope and faith during one of the darkest periods in history.
Presented in recognition of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps by Allied forces, this production is the centerpiece of a two-day symposium that both commemorates this unspeakable tragedy and celebrates the poignant works of artistry and intellect that will continue to endure for generations. The “Anne Frank: Holocaust, Memory and Performance” Symposium is presented in partnership with the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies and Texas Theatre and Dance.
