Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank

In the organizer's words:

"You already know that my dearest wish is to become a journalist and later a famous writer. Whether I will ever be able to realize these megalomaniac (or insane) inclinations remains to be seen, but I have enough topics so far." - Anne Frank, diary entry on May 11, 1944

Anne Frank is 13 years old, a German Jew and wants to become a writer when she receives a red plaid diary as a birthday present. She lives with her family in Amsterdam after having to flee Frankfurt am Main in 1934 due to persecution. When her sister Margot received a call for "labor service to Germany" on July 5, 1942, one thing was clear: the family had to go into hiding to prevent their deportation to a concentration camp. From then on, the family lived in hiding in the rear building of their father Otto Frank's company. Anne writes about her everyday experiences and fears and finds her own personal space in her diary - locked away in rooms behind a revolving cupboard.

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War - Michael Schachermaier stages and adapts the classic "The Diary of Anne Frank".

Director and stage version: Michael Schachermaier
