Analysis Of The Holocaust By Anne Frank

There have been many atrocious acts that the world has had to endure, but there is not one that stands out as much as the Holocaust . Millions of Jews were used as scapegoats because of the declining economy. This all eventually led to the Germans trying to completely eradicate their race. Even though the Germans did kill 7 million Jews there were many survivors of the Holocaust who live to this day with profound effects in every facet of their life. The effects that we’re looking at are: the psychological abuse that the holocaust kids went through and how it affects them in them in their everyday life in the present, how the adult survivors transmit their trauma unto to their kids, how second generation holocaust are biologically different from the normal human, and how the Jews are starting to go back to their homeland to deal with their stress.

Anne Frank, a name? A book? A girl? A prisoner? Anne was all these things. She lived in a world ruled by the Germans. Adolf Hitler, the ruler of the Nazi Germans ordered for the whole Jew population to be destroyed. He ordered all Jews to be taken from their homes and to be sent to labor or death camps, also known as concentration camps. Once Anne’s family heard of this they went into hiding with four other Jews. After two years of hiding, not being able to go outside, talk or move a lot, or being able to use the W.C. at certain times of the day, the Franks, Vaan Dans, and Mr. Dussel were turned in by a random citizen and were arrested. Before that time Anne had a diary where she wrote her deepest most inner thoughts. She once said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” I disagree with Anne’s statement, “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.”

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

Elie Wiesel once said, “No human race is superior, no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racist make them.” Elie Wiesel was one of those Jews who could make it and survive the Holocaust. The Jews have faced one of the most gruesome crimes throughout history. The Holocaust was the genocide of millions of Jews that took place in Germany. Adolf Hitler and his racist ideology led to the death of many Jews, and this was all because of the different religion that they had. The faces of all the people who had been killed in the Holocaust can hardly be removed from many Jews’ memory. The eyes of those little kids were begging for mercy and peace. Many of them died because they were starving, and many others died

The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity quotes Elie Wielsel’s, “Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and human sensitivities become irrelevant. Whenever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place- at that moment- become the center of the universe.” Many people suffered and had to give up their lives during the holocaust. The days of horror and torture during this time is to be told by many different writers. Elie Wiesel, Corrie Ten Boom, and Anne Frank, three writers I chose, all wrote books about the holocaust to make it a little bit easier to understand the real life situations they had to go through while in hiding. If it wasn’t for them, people today wouldn’t know the pain and hardships people had to face at that time. The holocaust was a life changing event that shaped the world to how it now is today.

"This is a humbling and deeply disturbing subject for anyone who approaches it, yet we have to learn the history of the Holocaust, to know it as best we can. Remembering the Holocaust and understanding how it came about is part of making sure it never happens ag

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once stated, “No human race is superior; no religious faith inferior. All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.” Imagine being discriminated against for something you couldn’t control; like the way you look or talk, what you believe in or the way you live, how would that make you feel? Now imagine being dehumanized for that something you can’t change. It may sound preposterous, but during the holocaust that’s precisely what happened. The dehumanization of the Jewish midst the Holocaust is vital to learn about because it enlightens us on the unfair bigotry, ghastly living conditions, and how the Jewish had their identity stripped away.

“To forget the dead would be akin to killing them twice,” Eli Wiesel. These words really reflect the groups that were forgotten to the Holocaust. Many more lives were taken than just the Jews, in fact, the Polish, the Gypsies, and the mentally and physically disabled were some of the main targets for the Nazis. Few people realize that more than just Jews were persecuted during the Nazi regime, so they could perfect their so called “Master Race”. These groups were deemed “defective,” did not have the right to live with the “Aryans” or the “Master Race,” and had to be eliminated along with the Jews. The Nazis did not stop just at the Jews, but planned to eliminate all that were thought to be “defective” or “racially inferior”. As Simon Wiesenthal once said, “The Holocaust is not only a Jewish tragedy, but also a human tragedy.”

Obsessions With Superiority: Why Jews Were Singled Out For Persecution “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.” This was once written by the young Anne Frank. As Anne Frank was one of the many people to have endured the Holocaust and sadly not survived, we wonder why she and many other Jews were singled out for extermination by the Nazis. During the Holocaust, Jews were mistreated and sent to their deaths in concentration camps due to the uncontrolled authority of false-thinking Nazi rulers.

“Anne Frank is a Jewish girl who has to go into hiding during World War Two to escape from the Nazis … After more than two years in hiding they are discovered and deported to concentration camps … After her death Anne becomes world famous because of the diary she wrote while in hiding” (annefrank.org). Anne Frank was a young girl who had a bright future, but it was taken away from her by the Nazi’s and Holocaust. Before the Holocaust, Anne Frank was just the typical young girl. During the Holocaust, she had to adapt to a dangerous situation. Then, after her death, she has left a legacy that has impacted the hearts of many. Through Anne Frank’s early childhood years, the years during the Holocaust, and the years after her death she has left

It is easy to say that the Holocaust ravaged Europe itself, but it is worth noting that without Anne’s diary, understanding what the Jews went through would be insurmountably hard. We take our freedom of religion for granted, but when we examine Anne’s diary, our world that we live in is full of obscenity, and despite the havoc, Anne still continues to hope for the end. Her diary left a legacy that gives us invaluable knowledge of what went wrong in our time on earth, to both Anne and history itself. Learning from our mistakes doesn’t fix our future; it only stops us from doing the same actions again, and in doing so, we can shape the world into what Anne envisions: “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart.”

From the years 1939 to 1945, the world was going through many negative changes. The Nazis started WWII ,which negatively affected the lives of people all around the world. The Jews were especially threatened by the Nazis as they had intent to exterminate the entire race. Many fled, many were captured, and many hid from the Nazis, but despite their efforts, not many survived. The people unfortunate enough were sent to labor camps which in most situations, they died either from starvation, illness, or being sentenced to death. In the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” a group of people try to hide from the Nazis and are successful for quite some time, but being enclosed in one building with the same people for years slowly broke their sanity.

Jew’s were not treated fairly. It shows us how Anne and her family had to live for a long time.

The Jews were taken from their home by the Nazis. They were sent to concentration camps by the Nazis. The Nazis gassed many Jews, starved many Jews, burned many Jews, and shot many Jews. This slaughtering of the Jewish people has been recorded in many books by survivors of the Holocaust who, in their books or books inspired by them, watch all of this happen in front of them as they too die slowly. What happened to the Jewish people should not be taken lightly or forgotten. Holocaust literature is dedicated to remembering the struggles of the Jewish peoples in the Nazi camps. In remembering the Jewish people, Holocaust literature honors the spine-chilling reality of the affair by remembering and showing to readers the actual people who suffered in the camps. Without Holocaust literature being common, these people might have as well died in the camps because readers would not be reading about it

Anne Frank captured the grim reality of life as a Jewish teenager during the Holocaust in her eye-opening recollection entitled The Diary of Anne Frank. Her diary brought to light some of the tragic events and atrocities that transpired during World War II and the shocking crimes committed against an entire race. Certain themes prominent throughout the diary reveal the priceless wisdom that can be obtained from the young girl’s writings and can be analyzed from a psychological perspective to further understand the unfathomable circumstances in which Anne and her fellow members of the Secret Annexe were forced to endure.
