Propaganda
Propaganda is a powerful thing. It can turn countries against each other, it can cause a world war. The last world war was caused by the amazing propaganda of Hitler. Hitler convinced an entire country to go against a religion. The country was in poverty and they thought of Hitler as their savior. Hitler made allies and declared war against people who resisted him. If the people who resisted him were German, he put them in the army. If they were Jewish he would send them to a concentration camp to work to death, die of hunger, or die of disease.
Anne Frank
Anne Frank was a joker and was very funny, but could be serious too. Anne showed her seriousness more when she went into hiding for two years before she got taken away.
Otto Frank
Otto Frank is Anne's father and was the one who created the Secret Annex. He was very smart and knew the Nazis were going to do this and made the Nazis think they were going somewhere they actually weren't.
Miep Gies
Miep Gies was Otto Franks secretary and she helped give them food and water. She also helped run the buisness so the Franks could still get money.
Victor Kugler
Victor Kugler had several jobs because he needed money. He helped give Otto Frank food and water like Miep Gies and some other people. Otto Frank would have died without them.
Act I Summary

In scene 5 she becomes more mature and stops doing all of that. There was a thief in the building that got scared away by Peter when they were all trying to be silent and Peter fell. The thief was thought to be another worker in the building because that person the next day asked for a raise and asked if there was a door instead of the bookshelf where they were hiding. It was thought to be blackmail.
