During
the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in 1942, Anne Frank began to keep a
diary while in hiding with her parents, sister, and 4 other people. Hiding in
the sealed-off upper rooms of the annex of her father's office building in
Amsterdam, Anne and the others cope with the day-to-day struggles of life in
cramped quarters, as the spectre of tragedy looms, ever-present, over their
every move.
