Anne Frank & Me
Cherie Bennett, Jeff Gottesfeld
Paperback
(Dramatic Publishing Company, Jan. 1, 1997)
90 minute version. Cast: 4m., 7w., expandable. This multiple national award-winning new American classic, which was a hit in New York, is about the awakening of a modern teen Holocaust denier. Nicole Burns doubts the truth and cares even less, but ultimately comes face-to-face with the hell of the Holocaust, and - in an extraordinary sequence - meets Anne Frank on a cattle car to Auschwitz. We start out with Nicole in today's teen world of MTV. Hip-hop dancing, unfinished homework assignments, and young love are all transported with her to Nazi-occupied Paris, 1942-44, and then are brought forward again to the light and hope of the present.
