Scene 1
This scene starts on January first in 1944. They have been
hiding for one year, five months and twenty-five days.
Anne is writing in her diary while everyone else is either
reading, lying down, or taking the laundry down (Mrs.
Frank.) Anne says that everyone is now a little thinner. She
also says Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan discussions are as violent
as ever and her Mom still doesn’t understand her, while she
doesn’t understand her Mom either. Miep comes with Mr.
Kraler as the doorbell rings with the V is for Victory signal,
which means “V” in Morse code. They tell everyone
“Happy New Year,” and Miep brings a cake just like she
did the year before. Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan fight over who
should cut the cake. Eventually Mrs. Frank gets the knife to
cut it. Peter asks if Miep can look for his cat Mouschi. She
has to go because Dirk is taking her to a party. Mr. Van
Daan chases after her and he wants to sell Mrs. Van Daan’s
fur coat. Mrs. Van Daan begins to cry after Mr. Van Daan
pulled the coat away from her. Mr. Kraler asks Mr. Frank
to come downstairs with him to gets his opinion on
something. Mr. Frank makes Mr. Kraler tell everyone what
he has to say. He tells them that works in the storeroom
named Carl asked a few weeks before Mr. Kraler is telling
them this, about how Mr. Frank was and Mr. Kraler said he
heard a rumor that he was in Switzerland. Carl thought Mr.
Kraler knew more. The day before Mr. Kraler asked this,
Carl came with invoices for Mr. Kraler to sign and when he
looked up he saw Carl staring at the bookcase. He asked if
there was a door there that went up to a loft and he also
wanted Twenty more guilders (money in Holland) a week.
Dussel thinks that Carl was the thief and that’s how he
knows about it. They tell him to offer Carl half of the raise
and he agrees. He goes downstairs to get the phone and it’s
his wife calling. Margot says she wishes the end will come,
whatever it is and Mrs. Frank says she should be ashamed
of herself. Anne goes to her room and slams the door. Peter
brings Anne’s cake to her room and she thanks him. Peter
says he thinks Anne was fine with what she said and he
can’t talk when he’s mad. He says she’s fine and without
her he doesn’t know what he’ll do. Anne and Peter talk for
a little while and they feel comfortable talking with each
other. The scene ends with a diary entry by Anne. She says
that the people Miep got ration books (books of stamps
given to ensure even distribution of scarce items) for them
were arrested, so they had to cut down on their food. On
March 6th 1944, Mr. Kraler is in the hospital and he
probably has an ulcer (an open painful wound that fails to
heal.) Miep has to run the business and help the families by
herself. The Americans have landed in Italy and Mr. Frank
is hoping for the war to end soon. Mr. Dussel is waiting for
Carl to ask for more money. She really wants someone to
talk to that understands her that is young and feels like she
does.
