Based on the Dutch-language diary kept by the young teenager while she and her family were in hiding for two years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, this moving true story powerfully illustrates the endurance of the human spirit and serves as a poignant reminder to stand up against the horrors of genocide. 

The play, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1956 and has been newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman.
