In Nazi-occupied Holland in World War II, shopkeeper Kraler hides two Jewish families in his attic. Young Anne Frank keeps a diary of everyday life for the Franks and the Van Daans, chronicling the Nazi threat as well as family dynamics.

Otto Frank returns to the attic many years after the eventual capture of both families and finds his late daughter's diary.

This week, in my eighth grade literature class, we read a Broadway script of The Diary of Anne Frank and I played the role of Anne. In the book, they showed pictures from this movie and just reading it made me so interested in her life. I even looked on Wattpad and I found the script we read in class... Later, we will go to a museum to learn more about her and I'm super excited! - @Saturday, October 31, 2015 1:59 AM

I read the script of the 1997 Broadway revival of the 1955 Broadway play back in English class in eighth grade; made me so sad to hear she died; but still loved the story, regardless. Then I read the actual book and then her full biography back in my Junior year of high school; both made me want to cry; but still loved them both! Before I read them, watched the 1959 film, just BEAUTIFUL! After gaining knowledge of just about anything and everything about her, I've written and created a short-story about her that has a romantic/science-fantasy take on her diary and a much happier ending about a character named after me who makes a heroic decision to alternate history and help her and all of the others she hid with. It's part of the multi-genre novel-franchise and alternative universe with sixteen installments total, each with sixty-four chapters (the story being in the fiftieth, as it contains eight original short-stories that I've created, the first chapter documenting my life from 2015 to 2034, the following documenting my ideas, the sixty-third being the appedix and glossaries of terms, and the sixty-fourth being the acknowledgements) that I've been writing and creating for quite a while that I call the "Holostar-Universe". You'll ALL just LOVE it if you read it! - @Friday, April 4, 2014 4:33 PM
