Anne Frank’s Diary was turned into an American play in 1955 by Goodrich and Hackett. In this version, Anne was viewed as a victim of universal suffering, not just Jewish suffering. The Jewish playwright Meyer Levin protested loudly and took his complaints to court.
Come hear a talk on the controversy by David Barnouw, Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, co-editor of the Revised Critical edition of Anne Frank’s Diary and author of several works on the Dutch experience in WWII.
