About The Show
安妮·弗蘭克(Anne Frank)是德籍猶太人。她留下来的日記使她名聞遐邇。15歲死於貝爾根─貝爾森集中營，她的日記成為二次大戰期間纳粹消滅猶太人的最佳見證，日記中展現了驚人的勇氣與毅力。
安妮出生於德國的法蘭克福，是奥圖法蘭克(Otto Frank)一家的小女兒，家中還有母親艾迪斯(Edith Frank)姐姐瑪格特(Margot Frank)。由於當時纳粹德國排斥猶太人風氣日盛。父親奥圖便放棄於德國的事業而將家庭移至荷蘭阿姆斯特丹。一家過著較為平順的生活；但是1940年5月後，荷蘭為德國攻占之後，荷蘭的新統治者英夸特也將排猶法律于荷蘭執行，1941年夏天安妮姐妹也因此轉入猶太人學校就讀。這段期間安妮開始寫日記。
但是在1944年8月4日，安妮一家由於有人密告的原因而被德國警察逮捕。數日後所有人被轉送到荷蘭的威斯第包克集中營，一個月後隱秘之家的八個人被轉送到奥斯威辛集中營。之後，安妮與姐姐又被轉送到貝爾根─貝爾森集中營，1945年3月姐妹都因傷寒死于營中，距離貝爾根─貝爾森集中營被英軍解放不到兩個月的時間。而其他隱密之家的成員除奥圖之外，都死於集中營之中。
安妮的日記由於公司女職員的保存而留了下来，之後公司的女職員又轉交给生存下来的奥圖法克，1947年安妮的日記便出版，成為珍貴的第一手資料。
她的事績後来被拍成電影--《The Diary of Anne Frank》(安妮日記)
In 1943, in order to avoid arrest and deportation by the occupying Nazis, the Jewish Frank family, Ann, her parents, Otto and Edith, and her older sister, Margo, went into hiding in a secret annex above Otto's office in Amsterdam. Anne had recently been given a diary for her thirteenth birthday. For the 25 months that the Franks lived in the annex with four other desperate Jews, the introspective and talented Anne kept her diary. Tragically, they were all discovered by the Nazis and deported to the Nazi death camps where all but Anne's father, Otto, perished during the waning days of the Third Reich. Returning to Amsterdam after the Nazis were defeated, Frank was given the diary which had been retrieved by a Dutch friend who had been instrumental in helping the Franks to hide.
In 1997, a new adaptation of the story by playwright Wendy Kesselmen featured a young Natalie Portman in her first starring role and was commended for its heightened realism and power. This adaptation incorporated newly available information on Anne, previously withheld from even the Diary publication and is the version which Butterfly Effect is presenting in early December.
Thirteen actors share the intimate stage space in this powerful and authentic portrait of a young girl clinging to hope in a time of tragedy.
