OGDEN -- "The Diary of Anne Frank," the timeless story set against a horrific backdrop, opens today in Bonneville High School's newly renovated Little Theater.

The play tells the story of the famous teenager, whose Jewish family hid from Nazis in Amsterdam for two years, until they were captured and taken to the concentration camps. Frank's diary has stood for generations as a tribute to the human spirit and has been the subject of several books, plays and films.

This version of her diary was adapted for the stage by Wendy Kesselman in 1997. Pioneer Memorial Theatre at the University of Utah is also mounting a production of Kesselman's play, also opening this evening in Salt Lake City.
