About the project: Forced into hiding in a small attic with her family and friends in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam in 1942, young Anne Frank writes in her diary of her experiences, thoughts, emotions, the horrors of war, her relationship with her parents and her feelings for Peter. Over the next two years, Anne, her family and her friends experience hope, fear, laughter and grief in a space that becomes increasingly claustrophobic.
