The evening in is two halves: the first looking at Anne in her room in the Annexe in Amsterdam; the second telling Eva's story, from her childhood, when she played with Anne, to becoming Anne's step-sister after the war was over. Otto Frank returned to Amsterdam to discover that he was the sole family survivor of the Holocaust. His two beloved daughters Margot and Anne, and his wife, had died in Auschwitz. The only memento of those two years, he and his family had endured, hiding in an Annexe, was Anne Frank's diary. The diary reached into the hearts of everyone who read it, and became a world bestseller. An innocent 14-year-old girl, with her life beckoning, had harmed no one. Her only 'crime' was to be Jewish and for that 'crime', young teenage Anne was deprived of her freedom and then her life. Eva Schloss survived the horror of Auschwitz, where her family met Otto Frank. Eva's father and brother died in captivity. Eva's mother and Otto Frank consoled each other over the deaths of their family members, and they eventually married. Eva - Anne Frank's sister is based on the book by Eva Schloss ?After Auschwitz'.
