Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. Mr. Frank (Quietly). Anne's diary. (He opens the diary and begins to read.) "Monday, the sixth of July, nineteen forty-two." (To Miep) Nineteen forty-two. Is it possible, Miep? . . . Only three years ago. (As he continues his reading, he sits down on the couch.) "Dear Diary, since you and I are going to be great friends, I will start by telling you about myself. My name is Anne Frank. I am thirteen years old. I was born in Germany the twelfth of June, nineteen twenty-nine. As my family is Jewish, we emigrated to Holland when Hitler came to power." (As Mr. Frank reads on, another voice joins his, as if coming from the air. It is Anne's voice.)
