Anne Frank And The Holocaust

Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank had been making plains to set up a secret hiding place knowing that the war could break out at anytime. Otto slowly began taking all the household necessities, furniture and canned foods. The hiding place was in several unused offices at 263 Prinsengracht, which is now called "The Secret Annex". Otto Frank had several employees he entrusted to help him so that no one else would know about their hiding spot. With the help of these employees they created a book case that would cover up the only entrance to the hiding spot.

Imagine spending two years of your life in a tiny house with 7 other people. Never going outside and having contact with almost no one outside (Annefrank.org). Anne Frank and her jewish family lived like this for two years hiding from the Nazi Party in World War 11. With them hid, Fritz Pfeffer, and Peter Van Pels, with his parents Auguste and Hermann Van Pels.

Anne Frank was a young girl that was Jewish. She was normal and had an entertaining life. When Hitler came into power the Frank family was in Amsterdam. Anne's sister, Margot, got a call-up notice. That meant Margot had to register with the goverment where she lived. Otto Frank, their father, then took the family into hiding. They lived in a spot Anne called the secret annexe. Also there was another family that eventually lived with them, and an elderly man eventually came

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler won the heart of president Paul von Hindenburg who appointed him to chancellor of Germany, but little did he understand this decision would later cost Germany over 6 million deaths and the title of the largest genocide in the world. This genocide was directed toward those who were Jewish who were persecuted or forced into labor because of this. Among the Jews at this time, the Frank and Van Pels family along with a friend inhabited an annex that was attached to Otto Frank’s business. Inhabiting this annex in order to escape the grasp of the Nazi’s would ultimately affect each person in a different way. While hiding in the “Secret Annex” Anne Frank and the other Jews suffered through the poor conditions of the hiding spot and were affected physically,

The German Secret Police showed up along with a few Nazis to the doorstep of the Annex on August 4th, 1944, breaking in and arresting everyone in the home.2 No one ever found out who told about their location. Each of the family members were taken to concentration camps; the men and women separated. The night they were taken, the family was brought to Camp Westerbork, and then transferred to the Auschwitz death camp on September 3, 1944.2 Anne was separated from her dad as they were sorted by gender, and never saw him again. After months of spending their days lifting stones and grass mats in agony, Anne was once again transferred, this time with her sister, to the Bergen-Belsen camp.2 Their mother, Edith Frank, was forced to stay at her concentration camp and let her daughters go, but died from an illness just months after on January 6, 1945.2 The conditions at Bergen-Belsen weren’t any better than the first camp; there was little food, disease was spread from bad sanitation throughout the camp, and eventually both Anne and Margot became ill with typhus, and both Anne and her older sister died in March

During the Holocaust, six million Jews were persecuted, and even more were oppressed by the Nazis. Throughout all of this suffering, Anne Frank still stood by her ideals she talked about and saw, such as hope, selflessness, and family. Anne had hope that she would soon return to a classroom someday, after the war is over. She also talked about selflessness, because of the people who risked their lives to keep her safe. Family also affected her because she had many people around her who acted like family, even if they were not consanguine. Throughout all these years, Anne still believed in these standards, even the toughest of times.

"'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning” (Frank 47). On June 12th, 1929, Annelies Marie Frank was born, in Frankfurt, Germany, her father was Otto Frank, who was a lieutenant in the German army in World War 1, who then he became a businessman in Germany and the Netherlands, and her mother was Edith Frank, Anne also had an older sister named Margot. Before everything had gone south the Franks had been just a normal Jewish family who loved their lives. At the age of four the Anne, and her family had moved to Amsterdam, because Adolf Hitler was invading Germany. Hitler was not a very nice person, he thought that the jews were a race, which they weren’t it was a religion, and

“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.

The Holocaust is one of the most heinous acts that soils history with the millions of innocent lives who perished because of the hatred of Hitler and his Nazi party. Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who together with her parents and older sister, managed to avoid being captured by the Gestapo by hiding in a secret annex along with another family. This research paper will explore the life of Anne Frank once she and her family are discovered by the Gestapo in August, 1944.

Anne,her family, and friends of theirs are living in hiding in the annex. Anne had to survive from the nazi’s and Peter, the hiders survived by not making noise during the day. They had to wait till all the workers left the building to move around and to use the bathroom. They stayed as quiet as possible; there were workers, they knew that there were people hiding in the annex. The annex was a small space at the top of the building that Mr.Frank had worked in the office. Jo Kleiman’s

Not only were her surroundings difficult but also her family at times. Anne’s dad, Otto Frank, was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and joined the banking business working in the family bank until it closed. He later became a lieutenant in the German army amid World War I. Otto then married Edith Hollander in 1925 and they wanted to begin a family so they established a home in Frankfurt. Their first born daughter was Margot and three years later “Annelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929.” (Alagna, 13)

‘’ How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.’’ This inspirational quote was from the one and only Anne Frank. Annelies Marie Frank was a young German girl , a diarist who was one of the most important jewish victims of the Holocaust. She was a strong intelligent girl who dealt with a lot growing up. For instance growing up through the worst of times when Jews were being abducted by the Natzis. Therefore transported by freight trains to extermination camps and the ones who survived were sent to be killed in gas chambers.

When Anne Frank was four and her sister, Margot, was seven, their family had to move out of their hometown in Germany to Amsterdam so that Nazis wouldn’t catch the Jewish family. Unfortunately, Germany invaded there as well, but the Frank family didn’t wish to leave their home once again, and stayed. However, laws against Jew increased, saying that Jews weren’t allowed to drive, that many places wouldn't let Jews in, and of course they had to wear the infamous yellow star. Edith and Otto Frank were worried, and began a plan, along with a few close family friends and Otto’s co-workers, to prepare the secret annex at Otto’s workplace for them to hide in. They had chosen a specific day to move in, but needed to go sooner because Margot was ordered

More than 1,000,000 children died in the Holocaust. But a well known Jewish child and diarist from this dreadful era was a young girl named Anne Frank. Born June 12, 1929, Anne Frank was living with her mother, father, and older sister Margot. When the day of July 5th, 1942 came, she and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam with four other Jews, after the Nazi’s seized power. Anne was one of the last of her family to arrive in Amsterdam after living with her grandparents in Aachen, Germany. They hid in a secret attic apartment, referred to as the Secret Annex in the diary written by Anne. For two years they lived in the Secret Annex until August 4th, 1944, when the Gestapo, or German police, discovered the hiding place. Anne and her sister Margot
