The Jewish girl Anne Frank aged 14 wrote a diary when she was hidden with her parents and other Jewish subjects in a garret of a house in Amsterdam to escape the former German secret police the so called Gestapo. At last the Gestapo found the Jews and brought them into a Nazi concentration camp where they died. The diary of the little Jewish girl then disappeared but was found later on. It was published and became a best seller throughout the world. Then the Diary of Anne Frank was adapted to a stage play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The play's first night was at a Broadway theatre in the USA some time ago. Now it is played on many German stages too. Now the Diary of Anne Frank is played at the Munich Kammer Spiele'.
