[Teenager: Anne Frank] makes Anne a girl who shares the same interests and problems that I have. . . I find now that my reaction to Anne’s life and death and the Holocaust, in general, is much stronger because I can see myself in Anne Frank.

“If it helps us to become more aware of the human rights abuses against girls and women worldwide, this play would, apart from anything else, already have achieved a great deal.”

This play reminded me of the lives of girls and young women in villages of Afghanistan where the Taliban or village elders are preventing girls from leaving the house”

“I was struck by the mixture of the extraordinary and the ordinary—how Anne is not only a symbol, but a real human being”
