Daily-ist Monday: Diary of Anne Frank

In March 1945, a young Jewish girl incarcerated in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp died of typhus. Her body, and the body of her sister (who also died of the disease), were buried in an unmarked mass grave. Though the exact day of her death is unknown, historians believe she died on March 2, 1945. Just a few weeks later, the camp was liberated by British troops.

And so ended the life of one of the world's most famous diarists, Anne Frank, who at 13 began chronicling her own life story and the story of the Holocaust, and who's papers have given millions of readers a glimpse into the horror of war and a life in hiding.

In 1955 the diary was turned into a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, a version of which will be presented tonight at the Texas Repertory Theatre, 14243 Stuebner Airline Road in Spring. The play is produced by the Houston Family Arts Center.

Tickets for the event are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for students and children. The play runs at 8:00 p.m. nightly until Saturday, with a final performance Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
