"I Hope..." The Diaries of Elisabeth Block and Anne Frank - for Schools

"I hope I will be able to confide everything to you[...]" - these are the first words Anne Frank wrote on 12 June 1942 in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Three months earlier, 800 km away, 19-year-old Elisabeth Block from Rosenheim wrote in her diary about the birth of her friend's child. It would be her last entry: the Jewish Block family was deported and likely murdered in a Polish camp.

Between Elisabeth's last entry and Anne's first entry lie not just 96 days, but also two completely different life situations. Both were different teenagers - yet they suffered the same fate: because of their membership in a group, they were discriminated against, excluded, tortured, and murdered. The play examines the mechanisms of political and private discrimination, meeting students through the voices of both teenagers and modern aesthetic elements on equal terms. The one-person play works both on stage and as a mobile version in the classroom.

A discussion after the performance is an integral part of the show.
