Sample given:  Miep: Are you all right, Mr. Frank?  Mr. Frank: Yes, Miep, yes.  Miep: Everyone in the office has gone home…It’s after six. Don’t stay up here, Mr. Frank. What’s the use of torturing yourself like this?  Mr. Frank: I’ve come to say good-bye…I’m leaving here, Miep.  Miep: What do you mean? Where are you going? Where?  Mr. Frank: I don’t know yet. I haven’t decided.  Miep: Mr. Frank, you can’t leave here! This is your home! Amsterdam is your home. Your business is here, waiting for you…You’re needed here…Now that the war is over, there are things that…  Mr. Frank: I can’t stay in Amsterdam, Miep. It has too many memories for me. Everywhere there’s something..the house we lived in…the school…that street organ playing out there…I’m not the person you used to know, Miep. I’m a bitter old man. Forgive me. I shouldn’t speak to you like this…after all that you did for us…the suffering…  Miep: No. No. It wasn’t suffering. You can’t say we suffered.  Mr. Frank: I know what you went through, you and Mr. Kraler. I’ll remember it as long as I live. Come, Miep.  Miep: Mr. Frank, did you see? There are some of your papers here. We found them in a heap of rubbish on the floor after…after you left.  Mr. Frank: Burn them.  Miep: But, Mr. Frank, there are letters, notes…  Mr. Frank: Burn them. All of them.  Miep: Burn this?  Mr. Frank: Anne’s diary. “Monday, the sixth of July, nineteen-forty-two.” 1942. Is it possible, Miep?...Only three years ago… ”Dear Diary, since you and I are going to be great friends, I will start by telling you about myself. My name is Anne Frank. I am thirteen years old. I was born in Germany the twelfth of June, nineteen twenty-nine. As my family is Jewish, we emigrated to Holland when Hitler came to power.”  Mr. Frank and Anne: “My father started a business, importing spice and herbs. Things went well for us until nineteen forty. Then the war came, and the Dutch capitulation, followed by the arrival of the Germans. Then things got very bad for the Jews…  Anne’s Voice: You could not do this and you could not do that. They forced Father out of his business. We had to wear yellow starts. I had to turn in my bike. I couldn’t go to a Dutch school anymore. I couldn’t go to the movies, or ride an automobile, or even on a streetcar and a million other things. But somehow we children still managed to have fun…  Anne’s Voice: Yesterday Father told me we were going into hiding. Where, he wouldn’t say. At five-o’clock this morning Mother woke me and told me to hurry and get dressed. I was to put on as many clothes as I could. It would look too suspicious if we walked along carrying suitcases. It wasn’t until we were on our way that I learned where we were going. Our hiding place was to be upstairs in the building where Father used to have his business. Three other people were coming in with us…the Van Daans and their son Peter. Father new the Van Daans but we had never met them.
