Danville High School will present "And Then They Came For Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank," a play that follows the lives of two teenagers during the Holocaust.
The performance features live theater scenes that portray personal accounts of two teenagers, Ed and Eva (Matthew DeLuca and Elizabeth Trollinger), during the Holocaust.
