“The Franks moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the fall of 1933.” (Biography.com Editors). They moved due to Hitler’s gain of power when he became chancellor of Germany. Hitler persecuted all the Jews and to escape the Frank family moved to the Netherlands. From a young age Anne had to move to run away and be safe due to her religion. No one today should have to move to feel safe just because their religion isn't accepted by others. “In 1935, Anne started a school in Amsterdam and earned a reputation as an energetic, popular girl.”(History.com Staff). Anne Frank went to school and was always positive trying to live a normal life even though she was different due to her religion. “Beginning in October 1940, the Nazi occupiers imposed anti-Jewish measures on the Netherlands.

“On August 4, 1944, after 25 months in hiding, Anne Frank and seven others in the Secret Annex were discovered by the Gestapo, the German secret state police, who had learned about the hiding place from an anonymous tipster.” (History.com Staff). The Frank family and the Pels family had been caught after 25 months of hiding in the Secret Annex. In the concentration camps Anne Frank had to endure many hardships such as separation from those she was comfortable with. After being held at Westerbork, the families were transported to Birkenau Auschwitz in September of 1944. From there the separation began as Anne Frank was separated from her father. Margot Frank and Anne Frank were transported to Bergen-Belsen. There they worked hard until March of 1994 when they both died of typhus. Weeks after their death the British liberated Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945. Anne Frank never gave up hope until the very end. She was quoted in her diary believing “... when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquillity will return once more.” (“Diary Excerpts.”). She always believed that there was hope and that everything would go back to normal even though she must have seen terrible deaths in the concentration camps.

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.”
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

She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began.
