| Summary: | The American history of Anne Frank's diary is one which sees the diary evolve from a European document of World War Il into an Americanized representation of the Holocaust. Through its adaptation into a play and film in America during the 1950s, the Diary turns into one of the first popular symbols of the Holocaust. Both the play and the film also universalize the Holocaust. albeit in a particular American idiom. They are rooted in the environment of America of the late 1940s and the 1950s, and this is reflected in their content. |
