First opera on Anne Frank in the Soviet Union. First done in Russian, Hebrew in translation. The opera was performed at USHMM in Russian (not this particular recording). The mono-opera (single character opera) Diary of Anne Frank, op. 60, by Moscow-based Grigori Frid (b. 1915), completed in 1969, waited eight years for its first concert performance, which took place at a distant, provincial venue.
