Mr. and Mrs. Frank speak German in scenes 1 and 2 because the play takes place in Amsterdam in the 1940s, during the time of the Nazi occupation where German was a prevalent language in the region. Speaking German was a way for them to communicate with each other and the audience in a realistic and historically accurate manner.

What was Edith Frank's opinion of the situation her family were in?

Edith Frank became deeply depressed while living in the Secret Annex. She confided in Miep, who was a sympathetic listener. Mrs. Frank felt that none of them would survive the war. Miep said later that if anyone had a premonition of how badly it would all turn out, it was Mrs. Frank. The Frank girls were frequently criticized by Mrs. van Pels, which deeply upset Mrs. Frank. She was also disgusted at the flirtatious manner Mrs. van Pels displayed toward Mr. Frank. Even before the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Mrs. Frank missed her former life in Germany. She never quite succeeded in learning the Dutch language, so German was spoken in the Frank home.
