"The Diary of Anne Frank"

June 12, 1942 Amsterdam

Meow.

Norche, from today, I am 13 years old!

Otto.

Please say happy birthday to Anne for me.

This is from me, as well.

Oh, Thank you very much, Miep and Mr. Kleiman.

She will be so happy.

In times like these...

we have to make as many happy moments for our children as possible.

Yes, indeed.

See you later.

I'm home.

Welcome home, Papa.

Quick, quick! Papa, quick!

Hey, hey, don't rush me.

Here.

I can't wait to see!

Welcome home.

Welcome home.

Wow.

What are they?

Now, here are your presents. Open them up.

Wow, I wonder what they are!

This one is from Miep, and that one is from Mr. Kleiman.

Unwrap carefully.

Don't throw away such beautiful ribbons and wrapping paper.

We should keep them.

Yes.

A film book!

Wow, Ginger Rogers!

This is Clark Gable!

Anne, there's another one left.

It's beautiful!

Ahh, I'm so happy...

Thank you, Papa.

Did you like it? This is a present from me and your mama.

Papa, Mama, thank you so much. I always wanted a diary.

Will we be safe?

People here in Holland have started to be mean to Jews,

and taking sides with the Nazis.

And there are more people taken into the concentration camps now.

Do you think that diary will really have happy memories for her?

Yes, of course.

Parents always should hope for a great future for their children.

They are sensitive.

We should make their lives now as cheerful and hopeful as possible.

Hi, you're my best friend.

I can tell you everything that I can't tell anyone else.

Can I give you a name?

The name of this friend waiting in my imagination is...

Kitty!

Let me call you Kitty from today.

Good morning, Kitty. Did you sleep well?

We had just become friends, and I hate to tell you this...

but we are in a very bad situation.

Since this town has been occupied by the Germans...

we Jews have been living in fear everyday...

since we never know when they will take us away to those horrible camps.

They might make you scared, too. I'm sorry.

In school, we used to study with Dutch kids...

but now by an order from German Army, we study here separately.

My best friend, Jopi, and I get along very well.

We chat during not only breaks but also classes.

Like I said, I don't care about Peter at all!

Liar!

It's true!

Liar! There is something in the way you look at Peter.

No!

Don't be ridiculous! Peter has Fanny.

Well, I heard him say "Anne is an interesting girl, and I kind of like her"!

Really?!

Talking ducks...

Is my class so entertaining?

Now, I want Anne to work out this problem.

What do you think, everyone?

Yeah! Yes!! That's great!

Can you do it?? Don't be shy! Go on, do it!

Wow, she is really going to do it...

Well. She can do it.

There you go.

Come on! You can't solve it?

This is why I hate math! And I hate Mr. Keising!

Yahoo!

I wish math would disappear from this world!

Huh! "We want YOU to disappear!"

Jews are not allowed to go to see movies, get on trains...

drive cars, go out after 8 o'clock in the evening...

go to swimming pools or tennis courts...

And another thing, we are not allowed to ride bikes!

Coming.

Mama?

Margot received a labor camp summons from the German Army.

But Papa said he can't send her on her own...

and gathered everyone.

Miep's husband Jan came, too.

Oh my God...

Edith, it's all right.

We're here to help.

The time has finally come... we must hurry.

We moved here when we got married...

What if we would never be able to come back here again...

This cruel era will come to an end someday.

What we have to do now is to survive...

be strong and...

don't give up.

We put on as much clothes as possible...

in order to make our baggage smaller...

as we didn't want be look too suspicious with heavy bags.

Here.

I can't walk like this.

Yeah, you look like a snowman.

Are you ready? Oh, you are nice and fat.

Shall we go?

Can't I take Norche with me?

No.

Hiding is not easy.

And would be small and uncomfortable for Norche.

I will leave a note so that someone can take care of him.

Alright?

Okay...

Norche, take care of your self. I will come back, OK?

Anne.

Let's go now.

We leave separately not to draw too much attention. Two people at a time.

Margot is going with your mama, and Anne, you're with me.

Papa, where are we going?

I can't tell you.

What?

Now.

This is like a suspense film.

Norche...

Come on, Anne.

I wonder when this war will be over...

Yeah really...

Be casual, walk normally.

Hey you!

What a bastard!

Anne.

Papa.

This place can't be...

Yes, this is going to be our hideout.

We have planned for this emergency for a long time.

Then, if you told us earlier, we could have managed to move more things.

We had to do this, hiding it from everyone...

especially Ms. Chatterbox.

Oh, do you mean me by any chance?

Grownups are indeed incredible.

Who would imagine we are hiding somewhere so close to our house?

Even the Germans wouldn't notice.

And everything is so well prepared.

Now, let me tell you the rules for living here.

First, on weekdays, do not make sounds because...

there are people working in the office and the storage downstairs.

During daytime, keep the curtain shut all the time...

and at night, install these frames to block off the light.

A slight, careless mistake could become dangerous...

to the people downstairs...

who are helping us.

Be careful and responsible all the time, understand?

I will take care of any necessary shopping during the lunch break.

Please feel free to ask for anything.

Thank you so much, Miep. We truly appreciate it.

Our staff and storage keepers are coming to work soon.

Be careful not to make any sound.

Please unpack your things during their lunch break...

and at night after everyone has gone home.

Thank you, we will.

You are our protectors from now on.

See you later.

Mama...

Shh!

It's cruel that I have to be quiet.

Mama probably thinks this is good discipline...

What is it?

Can I go to bathroom?

We can go to bathroom only at certain times. Can you believe this, Kitty?!

It's Miep.

Thank you for coming at such a hard time.

My pleasure, if we can be of help to you.

How do you like the new home?

We are not used to it yet.

We're especially sensitive not to make noise.

I understand. But we didn't hear anything downstairs.

If you talk quietly, it'd be alright.

But don't get carried away, Anne.

Margot would be all right.

Now, let's unpack and make sleeping rooms.

Come on.

Ah. You are surrounded by movie stars, My Lady.

Yes, I am a loyal citizen of Holland.

Queen Wilhelmina, please return from exile in England.

Margot, don't you think this is like an adventure?

You're a happy-go-lucky person.

But, being upset won't make anything better. I love a thrill!

No, we can't see the West Church from this side.

But there are such beautiful stars!

Did you know that stars twinkle and talk to us, Margot?

Yeah, they are probably cheering us on from far away.

Kitty, I have nothing to tell you.

Everyday is a repeat of the same day.

We are intensely bored.

Papa said we will get use to it, but I don't want to get used to this!

But tomorrow Papa's friends, the van Daan family, will join us here.

I'm hoping a change in our lives.

Welcome to our house, Mr. van Daan.

Hi, Otto.

This is my wife Edith, and my daughters, Margot and Anne.

Nice to meet you all. This is my wife, Petronella, and my son, Peter.

Peter?

Ah! I almost forgot about Mouschi.

Oh, you brought a cat?

You can't have a cat in here!

Mouschi is Peter's treasure.

But I had to leave my treasure Norche behind.

Anne, I understand your feelings, but every family has a different policy.

But...

I thought it was going to be fun...

and this Peter, he has the same name as my Peter...

but he looks dazed and not smart at all. He's completely different!

Have you heard anything about my friend Jopi?

Jopi?

Yes, she's from Janlaiken street.

The Jew hunting by the Germans has gotten worse in the last few days...

I wouldn't be surprised if she got caught.

Don't worry about other people. Look at yourself.

What beautiful sheets!

We'll use yours for a while. This tableware will do well, too!

But, I think it'd be better if we use our own separately...

That's right, I think so, too.

Look, you, this is adult business. Children wouldn't understand.

But Papa said that it's important to live with and compromise with each other.

Answering back to adults! I wonder how your parents brought you up!

I would've raised her much better!

She is impossible! Saying children can't talk back!

Girls, I have something to tell you.

Listen, living like this...

is far much better than being sent away to the camps.

We have to thank God.

Even if you're upset, try not to bother them.

So, you're telling me to be dishonest to myself?

Don't quibble.

I'll try.

Your sister is obedient.

Do you understand what your father said, Anne?

I will try my best.

What is with you?

That's okay, Anne. As long as you try. I'm counting on you.

For us Jews, candles are our emotional support...

the symbol of resurrection, and our tie to God.

When you're upset, talk to the candles and calm your mind.

It was a fine day. We did the laundry, which had piled up for a long time.

Wow...

Wow...

Good luck.

This much? Thank you so much.

Don't worry. I'll get fresh spinach next time for you.

Things are getting harder to obtain and more expensive...

Come on, cheer up! And be patient. Things will get better soon.

I really hope so.

It's me, open the door.

Here you are. These are what you ordered.

Here.

Oh, I've been waiting for this!

Anne, I bought a film book for you.

Wow!

And a leaf which breathed the outside air and changed its color.

It's beautiful. Let me see.

Oh, dear...

It was hard to get this.

What is it?

Please open it.

Open it.

Oh! Terrific! We'll be able to listen to the BBC with this!

The information from the outside world is the best treat for us!

Good grief, here's the information from inside me!

Oh, come on!

Miep brought us the delicious ingredients...

so the radio in my stomach is asking for food!

Well then, let's cook.

Yes.

The English Forces landed on Tunis, Algeria, and Casablanca this morning.

Here is a speech from Mr. Churchill, the British Prime Minister:

"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end...

But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Thank goodness!

Well then, let me have a smoke to celebrate!

Wow.

This is Algiers, and it's been liberated.

Perhaps, they'll start moving up from Africa to the Mediterranean.

But it's a long way from there to get here.

Yeah.

As well as the news of victory in Africa...

there is some very good news to tell you.

Miep is coming to stay with us for a night.

She's our first guest to stay over.

On behalf of every member of this house...

I'd like to thank you deeply, Miep.

I truly am thankful, and welcome.

I say this from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you very much for inviting me.

And this is a wonderful feast!

These are all what you kindly brought to us. Please have some.

Delicious!

Wonderful! Let's eat, everyone.

Miep, do you remember this?

Hm?

This is the ribbon from the present you gave me before.

And this is the one from my birthday present.

Oh, I'm glad that you kept them so well, Anne.

When I wear these, I feel as if I'm with you all the time.

And dressing up makes me happy.

I'm sure these ribbons are happy, too.

Miep, can I ask you something?

What is it?

Why are you helping us?

If we're caught, something horrible will happen to you, too.

It's because I love you all.

Is that all?

Yes.

You are all normal citizens...

and our important friends.

I can't just ignore that my friends are having a hard time because of the war.

It's only natural. You don't require a reason to help people in need.

Miep...

Thank you!

I talk a lot...

but I don't what to say to thank you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

I had a wonderful time, thank you.

Besides, I didn't have to walk to work in this heavy rain.

Please come to stay with us when it looks like it will rain.

That's a great idea!

Promise me!

But, Miep would never be able to come to stay...

because Dr. Dussel, a dentist, had joined our home.

Hello.

This gentleman made a big change in my life.

Margot moved to my parents' bedroom...

and I am going to share my bedroom with him.

Kitty, I've learned my lesson from Mrs. van Daan...

so I decided not to expect too much from this gentleman.

Then, I thought I wouldn't be disappointed too much, but...

He goes to bathroom four times a day...

and spends more than fifteen minutes each time!!

He said that he can relax most in there, but for everyone it's unbearable.

Is God testing us again?

No! No cats! I'm allergic to their hair and can't stop coughing.

Peter, keep your cat in your room.

It's insane to keep a cat in a hideout like this! Take it outside right away!

It might be better for the cat. Peter, do so.

I don't mean to fight with you, Dr. Dussel...

but Mouschi has been a resident of this house long before you have.

Mouschi's a quiet cat and is more than a pet to Peter!

You don't have the right to tell him to get rid of the cat!

What a smart aleck!

You don't have the right to speak to me like that! Shut your mouth!

No, I won't!

I don't like to bully the weak!

Do you enjoy that?

What!? What an insult! Shut up!

Anne!

You're going too far. Apologize to Dr. Dussel.

Anne!

Dr. Dussel, I'm sorry I said too much.

It's not your fault. I'm sorry, Mouschi. I'm sorry.

Anne, th... thank you about that.

I'm, I'm really glad what you did.

I'm not going to give in to that bigot!

You really, really have a courage.

I get angry very quickly. And I can't stop that.

Yeah, you had a scary look.

What?!

You'll be all right, Mouschi.

He likes you.

He? I thought it's a she.

It's a male cat. I'll show you. Look.

Ow, Mouschi! Wait!

Mouschi, wait. Mouschi!

It's OK, Peter. He doesn't like it.

Don't hide, come out!

There, Mouschi. Alright.

Here, look. This is the proof of a male.

No! I don't want to see that!

Come on, Anne. Have a look!

No way!

Kitty, I defended him and his cat...

but he really is such an insensitive person!

Air raid!

Anne, it's OK.

I'm scared, Papa!

Good girl.

Let's go to my bed.

Huh! She's just a baby.

Papa...

Can I come to your bed when there are air raids?

I suppose.

I don't want to die with Dr. Dussel.

Kitty, today is the first day of Hanukkah.

Dr. Dussel is hard at work making a candle stand...

as if he had become a different person.

Oh, we have to keep the candle lights on!

Yes, that's our tradition.

But considering our situation, we can not afford such a luxury.

We had better use candles carefully from now on.

Anne, show us your face.

You have to get over your cold before it spreads to your throat.

Come on, let Dr. Dussel examine you.

No!

Anne!

But, but Dr. Dussel is a dentist!

Yes, but I have the most medical knowledge among us.

Be quiet.

Ah! It's tickles, Dr. Dussel! Did you clean your ears?

No problem, I can hear your heart well. I see...

Help me, Kitty. He's a doctor, but this is embarrassing!

You know what I mean, Kitty, don't you?

Happy New Year, Kitty.

The year has changed...

But our situation has not improved.

The German Army is investigating...

the underground resistance groups thoroughly.

I've heard that...

they have executed innocent citizens as scapegoats recently.

Miep's here.

"1943, Peace". Oh, thank you, Miep.

I really hope it'll come true.

Oh, come on, hurry up, give us a piece of "hope"!

I want that first piece!

I want this one.

Hm, I guess you were well trained at home.

Thanks to Miep...

we are having a wonderful start at the new year. Thank you.

Well, I am afraid I have to tell you some bad news.

Actually...

The underground group, who helped you with food, has been caught.

I'm worried about getting food...

Moreover, food is in short supply and getting more and more expensive.

We should use food carefully from now on.

Please understand this, everyone.

Miep, I have a favor to ask. Can you go sell my clothes?

Dear...

We're running out of money.

Besides, I don't need suits here.

We should make even a little money out of them in order to get food.

All right.

I'll do my best to sell them for as high as possible.

I'm counting on you.

And please don't forget to bring cigarettes next time.

Aha! That's what this is about!

The bell of the West Church has stopped ringing.

Miep told us...

that because the German Army is running out of iron, they took it down.

Making bombs out of a church bell, can we allow them to do that?

You messed with the radio too much, Peter.

No, you were using too roughly.

Where's it broken?

I'll try to fix it.

Really? Aren't you going to break it instead?

I'm going to the attic to find out what's wrong by myself.

I see. I hope you can fix it, Peter.

Huh! I doubt it.

Peter, do you need some help?

Can you hold Mouschi, Anne?

I didn't know that you knew about electrical things and machines.

I'm impressed.

I prefer these to English or History.

Then, you'll be a scientist in the future?

Complete opposite of me.

Ah, this connector was loose.

Alright, it's fixed!

Kitty, Peter has his good points.

I thought little of him before, but certainly I don't dislike him anymore.

What are you doing, Anne?

The air brought me the scent of spring.

Hmm, let me smell that spring scent, too.

Kitty, nature is reviving.

Spring is the season of hope.

And spring came to me, too.

It's awkward, but I feel strange and mysterious.

Oh, so you have it finally.

It's strange.

I feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, I feel proud to become an adult...

It's a mixed feeling...

I envy birds, they're free.

Hey, don't you think that cloud looks like somebody?

Right, it's Mr. Keising, the math teacher.

How nostalgic...

I thought you hated math, didn't you?

I wonder when we'll be able to go back to school...

When the war is over and you grow up, what do you want to be, Margot?

I don't know. I try not to think about that.

I'm going to be a writer.

I want to write poems, novels, and a lot of things from my imagination.

I will be... yes...

a nurse.

So I can help people in need.

You're such a good person.

Ah! Mr. Keising is smiling...

Look, Mama, this doesn't fit me anymore.

You're growing fast.

My underwear is all small now...

and I can't wear my shoes, it hurts.

Margot and I don't have enough clothes to give you.

I'll ask Miep next time. So just put up with it for a while.

I can't like this!

Thinking about people who have been taken away to the camps...

I'd say we're happy.

Happy?

Do you think we're happy?

You always tell us to think about people...

who are worse off than us, but I don't want to.

That just makes me feel even more miserable!

But that doesn't change anything.

What good would it do if we all complain?

Be a good girl and behave.

But...

Damn!

Dammit, I can't use my cooking skills with this limited supply of food...

But eating is our only pleasure in this miserable life.

You can't get rid of this horrible rotting smell of potatoes...

with any kind of sauce.

What do you think, Anne?

Oh, can't describe your feelings with words, Miss Novelist?

Or do you like this taste?

It's a little strange when Anne is quiet.

Come on, Anne, say something.

Adults are so selfish!

They told me to be quiet, and when I decided to be quiet...

they are telling me to talk! I'm not going to be their toy!

Jopi...

Jopi...

Jopi!

Jopi... this way!

Jopi...

Jopi, Jopi... this way!

Jopi...

Today, thanks to you all...

I became fourteen somehow.

I would like to invite you all...

to my house...

for a big party for my next birthday.

Right. That's great!

Here's the present to you from all of us...

and Mr. van Daan and Dr. Dussel.

Here.

Come on, open it.

Wow, beautiful!

They might be a bit big for you now...

but you'll grow to fit them in soon.

I remember when I was young.

Well! Well!

They fit you perfectly!

NOTE: Song in English

Recently, the laughter has disappeared from everyone.

Worrying about shortage of food and losing money everyday...

the anxieties of reality weighed heavily on our minds.

We have to sell your fur coat.

Don't dare tell me that again! My papa bought it for me.

I cannot sell it, no matter what happens.

What a selfish woman you are!

We sold all of my suits. Now it's your turn!

You sold them for your cigarettes! Always!

But I won't! I am going to wear that coat even if I'm arrested and die!

Do you really think that?

What's more important now is to survive!

Are you going to take my dreams away, too?

Peter, are you crying?

I'm ashamed.

They wouldn't be like that if the world wasn't like this.

I can't do anything.

Don't be ridiculous, Peter.

You're my precious friend.

You understand my feelings very well and...

your English is better than mine.

Thank you, Anne.

I was going to write something nice...

but then again I wrote the same word.

Let's all pray to be free this year.

It's hard to say "Happy New Year" in this situation...

but let's help each other and survive together.

I will do my best to help you, too.

The situation outside isn't good either...

but Mr. Kleiman and everyone were saying they'd help you, too.

Miep...

could you please sell this coat?

Are you sure? Your papa bought it for you...

If this helps us, he'd understand.

Please.

Thank you, my darling.

Miep, I don't need cigarettes anymore.

Is that a thief or something?

I'm going downstairs to have a look.

Mouschi, no, stop!

I guess it was a thief. He got frightened and ran away.

He had to have noticed. This is the end for us...

Thanks to that cat... it's your fault!

It's all over...

Sh! Footsteps!

What is this?

The door is open.

It looks like the robber entered.

The safe is broken.

Is he gone?

Dunno.

What's in the back?

There's...

nothing.

No one...

could sleep until dawn.

I heard he was giving shelter to Jews and was caught.

Really...?

The man at the vegetable store was caught.

He was hiding his Jewish friends...

Bad news would make everyone depressed, so I'm telling only you.

Miep, thank you for your tact. It's better not to tell them.

The Allied Forces have landed Normandy today.

They had occupied the coastline and begun their attack.

What?

Great!!

Thank God! Yes! Great!!

Today, I became fifteen and full of hope.

I believe there will be a bright tomorrow.

I will definitely invite you all to my house next year!

Yeah! Congratulations!

I didn't have any money to buy you a present this year.

So this is for you to make wonderful compositions.

Wow, thank you!

This is from our family. I wore it when I was young.

How beautiful!

Mrs. van Daan, Mr. van Daan and Peter, thank you!

This is from me and your papa.

Thank you, Mama, Papa.

Happy Birthday, Anne.

Margot, this is your treasure!

I can't take it. It's enough if you let me wear it sometimes.

My treasure is you, Anne. Just take it.

Margot! Thank you!

Kitty, I received the most wonderful presents...

from everyone for my fifteenth birthday!

But the greatest present I have ever received...

is to know that people are wonderful.

Kitty, life is wonderful!

But, why do people hate and kill each other?

Please tell me why!

Mrs. van Daan, when we are free...

I will get a lot of food and would like you to cook it.

Yes, yes of course. We will invite you!

And I'll have a cigarette after dinner!

Peter, what do you want to do?

Me?

I would like to lie on the grass with my arms outstretched like this.

Yes, of course you do that AFTER your stomach's full, right?

Ah, this is such a fun discussion!

Let me see... I want to go see an opera.

With new clothes, right?

Most certainly! Now, Margot, what about you?

I want to fill the bath with a lot of hot water and relax!

That would hit the spot!

I want to be alone for a week or so.

Come on, darling, don't forget me.

Oh no.

What about you, Anne?

Hmmm, there are so many things I want to do...

but I want to go back to school, and run around with friends, and study!

Even mathematics, Anne?

August 4th, 1944

Is there any news?

Well, nothing much in particular.

Hmmm, stew?

Yes. Miep and everyone will come and have lunch with us, so it's special.

I would like to ask some questions.

They're late.

Yes... they'll come soon...

...that's right.

You have five minutes to pack your belongings.

Anne...

you were a wonderful roommate. Thank you.

You, too. Thank you.

See you later...

I am Kitty.

The war was over nine months after...

my dear Anne and the others had been taken away.

Among the eight of them, only Otto survived.

Nobody else came back.

van Daan - Autumn, 1944: Killed in a gas chamber in Camp Auschwitz.

His wife, Petronella - Spring, 1945: Died in Camp Theresienstadt.

His son, Peter - May, 1945: Died in Camp Mauthausen.

Dussel - December, 1944: Died in Camp Neuengamme.

Otto Frank - Released from Camp Auschwitz in January, 1945. Died in 1980.

His wife, Edith - January 6, 1945: Died in Camp Auschwitz.

His daughter, Margot - Late February or early March, 1945: Died in Camp Bergen-Belsen.

Anne Frank - March, 1945: Died in Camp Bergen-Belsen.

Many, many years have passed...

but Anne's wish has not been realized yet.

There are still wars and discrimination in this world.

But...

I will not give up.

Anne always had hope...

and never gave up her ideals.

I survived instead of her, and I want to continue to speak of her wish forever.
