A Summary OfThe Diary Of Anne Frank

The only thing she had to do was study and write in her diary. She never goes outside and always has to worry about if their ever going to be discovered and killed. The Frank Family wasn’t the only ones that went into hiding in the “Secret Annexe”, also the Van Daans and Mr. Dussel, making a total number of eight. Their survival in the “Secret Annexe” was dependent on their helpers who brought them food, news from the outside, and books.

The Author came out with a strong out look on the situation of Anne Franks Development. Anne Frank was a little girl who lived in Amsterdam with her Father, they lived a normal life until the Holocaust took place and for forced Anne into hiding. Sadly the Nazis found out about the Franks hiding and who they were staying with, Otto Frank was they only one who survived. Anne Frank knew that she would even be living a sad and scary life. "Anne’s Voice. I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go into hiding. But I really don’t know yet myself. I only know it’s funny never to be able to go outdoors . .

In chapter two, which contain dates Thursday, July 9, 1942, through Thursday, November 9, 1942, Anne and her sister Margot are hurried too quickly begin packing for the time that they are spent in hiding. They bring little with them

After a lot of the rules for the Jews were set, Gerda was sent to a hard labor camp. During the Holocaust Gerda weighed 68 pounds and she was almost 21 years old, she was overworked and not treated with any sort of respect. Gerda was very strong but was definitely not treated right Just because she was a Jew shouldn’t mean that she should have to go through all this, June 8th was the last day she saw her father which is hard enough and then she got taken away on June 9th which she was taken from her mother also so she was pretty much alone, also she was only 15 years old. When Hitler began his mass-murdering many families that were Jews had to go into hiding and in this case that is exactly what Anne’s family did. “...daddy began to talk of us going into hiding… “We don’t want our belongings to be seized by the Germans , but we certainly don’t want to fall into their clutches ourselves. So we shall disappear of our own accord and not wait until they come and fetch us.”” (Frank 12). Hitler has pushed many families into hiding because if they didn’t they would risk their lives even more of getting taken away and overworked or killed. None of the Jews were treated well and they all would eventually get taken to a concentration camp or the gas chambers unless they were left unfound in

While in hiding, Anne Frank was closed off from the world as she was not allowed to leave the “Secret Annex”. To pass time Anne would read books and wrote in an autograph book she received for her 13th birthday, the book in which she used as a diary described her life in hiding, her various thoughts, and relationships with the members of the Secret Annex in which Anne was hiding in. Before going into hiding, Otto Frank had notified a few of his most trusted workers where they would be hiding. The workers would shortly visit the annex to tend the Franks with necessities such as food and gave news of the war. Although life was hard, their survival from Hitler’s regime seemed promising until in a sudden sad turn of events, one of Otto’s workers

At first, Anne was terrified to go into hiding but her positivity and hope showed and taught many people lessons on how you should look at life. Anne had such a big influence on the people who read her diary. The play that was constructed off of her diary writings really lets us understand how and what Anne was feeling along with the others in the house. The Franks in addition to their friends, had people who helped them out while they were in hiding. This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex. She never gave up on them and helped them through their entire hiding. This shows that people may not believe in the same things as you, but deep in their heart, they are willing to help anyone in need. The group of people hiding in the secret annex was in need, they had no way of getting food or any other supplies. This is where Miep came in to help them. She brought them the food, plus all of the supplies that they needed, therefore, making them live much longer than they should have. In the play, you could tell how happy the family was to see her. On page 326, we read, “Thank you, Miepia. You shouldn’t have done it.” this was

In the second entry of Anne Frank's diary, Margot got a call-up from the SS, which forced the Franks to go into hiding in fear of their future. After Otto Frank came home, "Margot and I started packing our most important belongings into a schoolbag" (Frank para. 15). Margot and Anne went packing after their Father told them they were going into hiding. This was the same day that Margot got called-up.

By June 12, 1942, Anne Frank had been alive for thirteen years; as a gift, she received a diary. Her thirteenth birthday present was used to record her thoughts and emotions built up over the two years that she and the others stayed hidden away in the secret annex after her sister, Margot Frank, was called to a German concentration camp. This, an excerpt from Anne Frank 's diary, displays the horror that was felt: “I was stunned. A call-up, everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head.” A normal teenage girl shouldn’t have to endure these types of things. It was courageous of Anne to even write in the diary. She is truthful about the horror of this historical event. She could have left out the gruesome details but if

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated.”This shown how that the ‘’outside world’’ is so much dangerous because of the terrible holocaust they German’s are causing. Honestly I think Anne’s family is good enough to listen out the dangers coming for them because being isolated at this moment, is the safest. “Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone. The Christians in Holland are also living in fear because their sons are being sent to Germany. Everyone is scared. Every night hundreds of planes pass over Holland on their way to German cities, to sow their bombs on German soil.” Also again this detachment from the world outside of the Annex is greatly safe, not too safe, but safe enough to live. Anne sees how this isolation has contributed to their life and how they survived most of it. Really I isolate myself from my family fighting so I don’t get involved in the brutal yelling, but this war is far worse. “Our freedom was severely restricted by a series of anti-Jewish decrees: Jews were required to wear a yellow star; Jews were required to turn in their bicycles; Jews were forbidden to use streetcars; Jews were forbidden to ride in cars, even their own; Jews were required to do their shopping between 3 and 5

In conclusion, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis brought a lot of damage to the Jewish and others. People were forced to hide in order to keep their lives. While they were hiding they could not do a single thing that would put them at risk of being found. “The Diary of Anne Frank” puts all of this into perspective. Anne kept a diary with her while experiencing the struggles of this war. Her diary helped people to feel what she was feeling during that time.

The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jews and other cultures that were affected by the Holocaust and the Franks had to make choices that would help protect their family. As the Jews began to be persecuted by the Nazis, many Jews were worried about if they would be safe in Germany and the Franks moved to Amsterdam to get away for the persecution. Once the Franks got the letter for Margot's call up to go to a labor camp, the Franks decided to go into hiding. This could have gotten them in big trouble if the SS discovered them and they might of been killed but they risked that instead of letting Margot go to a labor camp. They did not know that three of them would not make it through the Holocaust. During their time in hiding in the Annex, four people chose to provide the Franks and the others hiding there with all the things they needed, even though helping Jews had serious punishments. The consequences were that the two men were arrested and taken to jail. The story of Anne Frank shows that taking dangerous risks by protecting your family and friends can have major

Anne Frank was growing up in the era of Hitler and anti-semitism. She and her family were all accustomed to living a comfortable, normal, and fairly affluent lifestyle. Adolf Hitler, the German dictator of the time, believed that Jewish people deserved to be confined and killed on a massive scale. The Franks moved out of their house only with limited food into a secret room in an office building, cramped together silently with nothing to occupy their minds except each other and books. This silent, stealthy, boring lifestyle made life incredibly difficult for the hyperactive person Anne was. Not only that, she and her family lived in constant fear of being caught. Any small noise would have been enough to separate the family and send them to concentration camps across Europe. Anne had to overcome the adversity of this new lifestyle of fear and absent-mindedness. Secondly, The Franks shared space with other people in hiding. In this instance, food had to be rationed to an extreme. The family did not expect the war to go on for this long. Of course, they could not be free people again until the war was over. Only small bits of food could

Otto owned a spice and canning buisness that was not far from there house. At Ottos office, it had a very interesting way it was built. When you would walk up the stairs to where the Secret Annexe (the place the Franks stayed) there would be a bookshelf covering a door that led to a staircase that led to where they were staying. If a random person were to have walked off the street and into the office, they would be very confused in the annexe and have trouble even getting to the door to the annexe. On the morning of the Franks moving into the Annexe Margot would have already been there becuase she had been recieving call up notices prior to there actual day they were moving in so she had already left with Meip (Meip was one of the guardians at the office). When Anne and her parents were going to the Annexe, they had to wear multiple layers of clothing and carry only one bags because they did not want to draw attention to themselves. The Franks were not going to stay in the Annexe alone. The other people hiding with them were Hermann Van Dan, Petronella Van Dan, and there son Peter Van Dan. Also hiding with them was Albert Dussel. While they were all in hiding they had guardians who were Mr. Franks workers at his office. The guardians were the people who brought them the supplies that they needed and they guarded the Annexe. After two years in the Annexe the members were arrested. It was August 4, 1944 when they were arrested. They thought that the reason

Anne is arrested with the eight other people in the secret Annex including the helpers Johannes Kleiman and Victor Kugler in 1944. She is then taken to Camp Westerbork with the other residents from the secret annex, and transferred to Auschwitz a month later. In Auschwitz the men and women were separated, and Otto frank never saw the rest of his family since. Anne’s work at the labor camp of Auschwitz consisted of for example transporting heavy stones and grass mats. After a few months of hard work in Auschwitz, Anne and her sister Margot are transferred to another camp called Bergen-Belsen, but this time their mother cannot come with them. Shortly after their transfer, Edith Frank falls ill and dies in Auschwitz in 1945. Camp Bergen-Belse

During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
