Hi Tracey,
We've done several plays about WWII and the Holocaust (never Anne Frank, though ... mmm). I use a source very close to you whenever I need specific, period, and/or very well-made costumes. Norcostco has an office in Atlanta and the folks there are sooooo wonderful.
They usually have costumes pulled and shipped from their main warehouses in Minneapolis, so a good 2-3 week lead time is necessary. When I needed German and Nazi Uniforms, they helped me get the right look and helped me keep the budget manageable.
Break a leg!

Thanks for bringing this up, Tracey! If anyone has any insights into sources for costumes that would pass as WWII German guard uniforms, that would be super helpful. Perhaps someone has produced Anne Frank or similar plays?

Hello Everyone:
I am directing Dark Road and I am having a difficult time finding costumes. I understand why. I am wondering if anyone that has directed a holocaust play can let me know where they got their costumes for the German guards, etc.
Thank you,
Tracey
