In the first scene of the play, Mr. Frank returns alone to Amsterdam; he has been liberated from the concentration camp, Auschwitz. Revisiting the rooms where he last lived with his family. Miep tells him about the diary that Anne had written about her life while in hiding and he starts reading it. As he starts reading you could hear Anne’s voice reading as well. Then Anne describes how bad the situation was for the Jews in Holland after the German conquest. Her diary says the Frank’s final morning at home, as they tried to make it appear they had fled the country. Instead, they went to the building where Mr. Frank had his business to go into hiding. After they go into hiding they meet The Van Daan’s. It was Mr. Vann Daan, Mrs. Van Daan, and their son peter Van Daan. Then Mr. Frank explains the rules. During the day, when the workers are downstairs, they cannot move around, speak above a whisper, or run any water. On the 1st day of hiding Mr. Frank gives Anne the diary as a gift. After a while Mr. Kraler tells Mr. Frank to take in Mr. Dussel. His of course says yes and then they all meet him and his roommate is Anne. But after a while he gets annoyed of her and so does she. Also Peter then soon becomes friendly and closer with Anne. They “go out on dates” and just go to Peter’s room to talk. Then they do really go out. Near then end of the play a thief enters the place where they were staying at hiding and they hear a thief stealing something and then Peter falls accidentally because he was trying to turn off the lamp and that scared the thief away but he now knew that there was someone hiding in the building. After also U.S invades Germany, “The Normandy Invasion”. But that would help the families get hope and not to lose it. But then in the end something strange happens, the worker didn’t go to work and then they knew something was going on. Then the Germans go inside and capture all of them. They took them to the concentration camps. Last but least, it is again 1945 and Mr. Frank is now done reading the diary. He then talks to Miep about Anne and how she and Margot died. Finally he picks up the dairy again, and turns the pages to find a certain passage. “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart”.
