The Diary of Anne Frank is a seminal piece of 20th-century literature. It recounts the tragic and moving story of a young Jewish teenager faced with the horrors of Nazism. In it, Anne establishes a bond with her listeners that transcends both time and space, making them her friends and confidants.
Listeners feel a connection with each dream she had, each fear she endured, and each struggle she confronted. Her diary ended, but her story did not. “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank” picks up where her original journal left off, taking the listener on a credible journey through the tragic final months of her life, faithfully adhering to her own, very personal, diary format in the process.
In “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank,” Anne receives mysterious help from many quarters. A strange lady on the other side of the fence haunts her dreams. Her mom, once vilified, becomes a hero. Anne struggles with the existence of God and his presence or absence in all of her ordeals. She contrasts the depravity of man with what she sees as mankind’s evident virtues. Her longing to experience sensual pleasures is numbed by forced over-exposure. She finds that in the Nazi’s efforts to extinguish the humanity of their victims, a chorus of unity evolves among the captives.
Anne’s vaulted dreams for fame and notice are ultimately traded in for the true longings of life, love, and peace. “The Lost Diary of Anne Frank” follows her story to the chilling end. Dr. Johnny Teague is an author and historian, having earned five degrees, culminating with a doctorate in exposition from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
