For Majkin, a white public school teacher, the lessons of The Diary of Anne Frank feel impossible to instill within her students who seem to disrupt her teaching at every turn. For Destiny, an eighth grader whose office referrals are quickly accruing, those lessons are already manifest in the daily struggle of being a Latina student in the middle of Kansas.

Every Anne Frank is an exploration of how history, betrayal, and power repeat themselves unrelentingly – even in the most mundane corners of everyday American life.
