After months of in-depth research and interviews with the people who brought The Diary of Anne Frank to the stage and screen in the 1950s, the Forward launched my new podcast, Playing Anne Frank, last month. I'm thrilled to have this series out in the world, and the feedback has been great. Already, more than 3,000 of you have downloaded the first three episodes! I feel lucky to work at the Forward, where they gave me the time, space, and resources to create this one-of-a-kind, limited-series podcast.If you love our podcasts and want more of them in the future, I hope you'll support our work with a generous donation today. |
On the podcast, I talk to some of the people who originated the iconic figures in The Diary of Anne Frank on Broadway, in Hollywood, and throughout the world. Through the memories they and others share — of meeting Otto Frank; of performing the show for small-town American audiences, some of who had never met a Jew; of seeing Anne Frank premiere in front of a full house in Germany that had been stunned into tearful silence — you'll see how this powerful work transformed not only the people who saw it, but the artists who made it. We rely on our donors for the resources to create one-of-a-kind content like this podcast. Donate today to support our podcasts, and be sure to listen to Playing Anne Frank! |
