The play begins with Mr Frank leaving the hiding place where his family resided. Miep asks Mr Frank if he would like to take all of the old papers; he wants to burn them. This is where he finds Anne's diary. He starts reading it and the story transitions to when Anne starts writing the diary. Anne's family is going into hiding from the Nazis in a secret room located in an office building. The hiders have to abide by many rules such as not being able to throw out trash, walk around during the day, or flush the toilet. They are residing with another family who was an older teenage boy named Peter. Mr Frank gives Anne a diary as a gift because they have to go into hiding and it will keep her occupied. Anne has an interaction with Peter and his cat. She hopes that they can become friends because they will be spending a lot of time together. Anne continues to write her diary entries.
"This isn't the black market, this is the white market"
This is said by Mr Kraler when he is discussing the ration cards with the Franks. Although their way of getting ration cards to the Franks and the VanDanns is illegal, it is necessary for their survival. It is also not for a bad cause which is why Mr Kraler refers to it as a white market. The ration cards are for the Jews who are in hiding from the Nazis.
