This single set play featuring a classroom and two characters takes place in 1965 in the playwright's choice of cities. A male high school student has asked to meet with his 37 year old teacher after school (or he could just interrupt as she is finishing papers). He suggests to her that after reviewing her age, what little he knows of her European past, her mysterious vacations, etc. he think she is Anne Frank. Rather than dismissing this wild thought, she indulges him. For the rest of the one-act play they spar in such a way that she could be, and may be Anne Frank. If she is, the main reason for such a deception is having anonymously survived the camps, and having performed what she considers dishonorable acts, she did not wish to tarnish the image of the Anne Frank who had become a symbol of Jewish pride and bravery. The plays does not end with a conclusion, but leaves the question with the audience.
