2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Orten, Frldiy, Ftbruarr 20, 19S9 Coming High School Play Based on Real Life Story "The Diary of Anne Frank,' to be presented February 26- 27 by the senior class of Med- iora nign school, is no piece of fiction. The play is based on the day-by-day diary of a young Jewish girl who, with her family, lived in hiding in the attic of a warehouse in Amsterdam for 25 months. The diary recounts the hours of fear and dread which even tually ended in the Franks being found and arrested by the Nazis. The play is an ex citing and fearful story of real life.. The Franks were an old German-Jewish family. Otto Frank, Anne's father, was born and grew up in Frank furt am Main. He was grad uated from school and went into business. After the out break of World War I he was assigned to an artillery com pany and was eventually pro moted in the field to the rank of lieutenant. After the war he returned to Frankfort where he specialized in bank ing and the promotion of brand-name goods. He mar ried Edith Hollander of Aach en, who died in Auschwitz in 1945. : Otto Frank was born a Jew and a German, and as long as it was honorable to do so, and possible for him to be a German, he served Germany. He was never a Nationalist -he had God and Fatherland, but was left with only God. The Franks left Germany after the issuance of the de cree that Jewish children could no longer attend the same schools as non-Jewish children. The news came that Hitler had become chancel lor, and later came the ac count of the storm troopers' torch parade in Berlin. The Franks left Frankfort in the summer of 1933. Otto Frank went directly to Holland to seek a new means of liveli- tem- her hood, while Mrs. Frank porarily remained with mother in Achen, keeping the children with her. Anne Frank's existence from 1933 to 1942 was just a normal life -friends and carefree schooldays. The hap py times continued until 1942, although the German invasion of The Netherlands had come on May 10, 1940, and although the avalanche of anti-Jewish laws started 53 days later. The people of Am sterdam did everything they could to shield the many Jew ish children in their midst as long as possible Then in July, 1942, the Franks had to go in to hiding.
