* AdaptationDistillation: The play and TheMovie.
* AdaptationExpansion: Again, the play and TheMovie.
* ArtisticLicense: The play and TheMovie take some liberties with the source material. Certain details, such as Dussel's allergy to cats (and the resulting conflict with Peter, who has a greater attachment to the cat than in the diary), the Hanukkah celebration, the fight over food (and threats to evict the Van Daans) immediately before the announcement of D-Day, and the sequence of events documenting precisely how the Annex residents were caught, are nowhere found in the diary itself. Certain scenes, such as the Annex residents' learning about D-Day and Anne's first kiss, play out very differently between the diary and the two adaptations. Also, certain statements from the diary, in both TheMovie and the play, are taken out of context, to the extent that the changes alter, even contradict, the statements' original meanings.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Several of the printings of the diary, as well as the play and TheMovie. Face it, there was no way some of the material, particularly the sexual discussions, would have made it past the MoralGuardians.

* AsTheGoodBookSays: At the start of the [[UsefulNotes/JewishHolidays Chanukah]] scene, the Frank family and their friends read Psalm 121 from the KJV Bible... which counts as FridgeBrilliance when you discover that its Christian Old Testament is known as and translated from the Hebrew Bible, whose canon is called the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh Tanakh]], a name used in Judaism.
