SECTION A – ANNE FRANK
QUESTION 1
MR FRANK I think we couldn't find a better time to use it. Peter, will you get five glasses for me? (He collects the bottle from the shelves. PETER collects five glasses from the shelf over the sink, puts them on the table. MR FRANK gives the bottle to MRS FRANK who pours a swallow into each glass.)
MRS V. DAAN What’s happening? What’s going on?
MR V. DAAN Someone’s moving in with us.
MRS V. DAAN In here? You’re joking.
MARGOT It’s only for a night or two – until Mr Kraler finds him another place.
MR V. DAAN Yeah! Yeah!
(KRALER comes up the stairwell. MR DUSSEL follows him up. He is a man in his fifties, meticulous and finicky, but at the moment, bewildered. He carries a brief-case and a shopping bag, stuffed full, and has a small medicine case tucked under his arm. He wears a raincoat and hat. MR FRANK hurries to the stairwell and holds out his hand. ANNE, all eyes, sits above the table.)
MR FRANK Come in, Mr Dussel.
KRALER This is Mr Frank.
DUSSEL Mr Otto Frank?
MR FRANK Yes. Let me take your things.
(MR FRANK takes the hat and bags and hands them to PETER. DUSSEL clings to his medicine case.)
This is my wife, Edith – and Mrs Van Daan, and Mr Van Daan – their son, Peter – and my daughters, Margot and Anne.
(DUSSEL shakes hands with everyone, crossing to the VAN DAANS.)
KRALER Thank you, Mr Frank. Thank you all, Mr Dussel, I leave you in good hands. Oh – Dirk’s coat…
(DUSSEL takes off his coat. Underneath is his white office jacket, with a yellow star of David on it.)
DUSSEL (to KRALER) What can I say thank you? (He hands the coat to KRALER.)
KRALER Please. Please. You make us seem very heroic. It isn’t that at all.
(MRS FRANK offers a drink to KRALER, who refuses it, so she places it before DUSSEL. MARGOT goes into her room, straightens the beds and sees that all is orderly.)
We simply don’t like the Nazis. We don’t like their methods. We don’t like anything about them.
MR FRANK (smiling) I know. I know. ‘No-one’s going to tell us Dutchmen what to do with our damn Jews.’
KRALER (to DUSSEL) Pay no attention to Mr Frank. I’ll be up tomorrow to see that they’re treating you right. (To MR FRANK.) Don’t trouble to come down again. Peter will bolt the door agter me, won’t you Peter?
PETER (moving quickly) Yes, sir.
MR FRANK Thank you, Peter. I’ll do it.
KRALER Good night. Good night.
ALL (ad lib) Good night, Mr Kraler. See you tomorrow, etc, etc.
DUSSEL rises. KRALER and MR FRANK exit down the stairwell.)
MRS FRANK Please, Mr Dussel, sit down.
DUSSEL I’m dreaming. I know it. I can’t believe my eyes. Mr Otto Frank, here. (To MRS FRANK.) You’re not in Switzerland, then? A woman told me… She said she’d gone to your house – the door was open, everything was in disorder, dishes in the sink. She said she found a piece of paper in the waste basket with an address scribbled on it – an address in Zurich. She said you must have escaped to Zurich.

SECTION B – I AM DAVID
QUESTION 2
Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow:
No one took any notice of him. While he was on the road, a man had turned round to look at him, but David had told himself, “You mustn’t look as if you’re afraid!” and had gone on his way quite calmly. And down here in the town no one at all turned to look at him. It was a small town, not like Salonica. The streets were small and narrow and very hilly. There was talk everywhere – people standing in shops where the lights were lit, all were talking. The first time David was aware of it he could hardly bring himself to move on – almost everybody was laughing! It was not the ugly laughter he was used to when they laughed at the prisoners…it sounded pleasant, even beautiful, as if they were all content, and felt friendly towards one another.
David knew of course that it could not be true, but perhaps there were not so many of them here in Italy, or perhaps there just were not any in this town. And the people were beautiful! David had seen good-looking people before – they were often good-looking when they first arrived in the camp, but only Johannes had preserved the beauty in his face right up to the time he died. And the few women David had seen looked quite different from those here… they had been hard of face, as they always were, and … and … yes, as if there were scarcely any difference between them and the men.
But here they were beautiful, their hair long, black and waving, many of them with smooth, sun-tanned faces, and all dressed in beautiful clothes so many colours, like the sea and the trees and the golden fruit.
David saw the same fruit again, a whole pile of it in a great basket outside a shop. “Arancia”, it was called. David translated the word into German: “apfelsinen” – he had heard of it after all. If only the letters were not so difficult to read! Johannes had taught him the shapes of the letters they used in other countries, but that was so long ago. If only he had a book so that he could practise reading those letters!
Going down into the town had been a good move. No one took any notice of him, and he could learn a lot by looking in the shops. He could find out what food looked like, and many other things, too, that he had never seen before and did not know the use of. They had an enormous number of possessions, these people…
David felt quite dizzy with looking at so many things, and he stopped a moment. In front of him a man and a woman were walking along, and as they talked and laughed together they were eating something they had bought from a shop. When they finished, the woman threw away the paper they had been eating from. His heart beating faster, David picked it up in the dark: there was often something printed on the paper things were wrapped in.
He hurried on to the nearest light – yes, there was printing on it, something he could practise reading! Tomorrow when it grew light… He dared not stand still too long outside a brightly-lit shop: besides, he did not feel too well, he had a headache and felt sick. He had better go back to his rock.
