Anne Frank And The Holocaust

“It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” (Anne Frank) Anne Frank was one of the many children who fell victim to the Holocaust during the World War II. Anne’s story is nothing short of a tragedy; she died at the early age of fifteen from Typhus while being held by the Nazi Regime, in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Before dying, Anne and her family went into hiding and lived secretly in her father's office building in the Netherlands. While living in the “Annex,” a secret hiding place, she developed many interests such as reading and writing. Anne is famous because she is one of the best-known victims of the Holocaust, her story has been shared with millions in a publication of her diary, and through her writing’s she introduces many people to the massacre and its horror.

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.

“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

Anne shares with us a story almost 11 milllion people closesly experienced from Nazi religious persecution. Anne and the rest of the group hiding in the Secret Annex manage to avoid Nazi's through the worst of the undesireable hunt. As the diary goes on her writing matures as she grows into a young woman. She vividly shares with us the Allied Forces progression during the period. Just as the war enters its final stages, the Secret Annex is raided by Nazi Police, arrested are all eight members of the Secret Annex.

Over 6 million Jews died once Hitler came to power, an event that came to be known as the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler had grown up learning that Jews were bad. This is where we think he got the idea to blame them for Germany’s loss in World War 2. Anne Frank and 7 other Jewish people went into hiding shortly after Margot, Anne’s sister, got a letter asking her to report to a Jewish work camp. They were hiding for 25 months, until they were discovered on the 4th of August in 1944, everybody was arrested. Anne Frank is believed to have died from Typhus fever on March 12th, 1945, just 34 days before the Bergen-Belsen camp was liberated. The only survivor of the annex was Mr. Otto Frank. He returned to Amsterdam, June 3rd, 1945. Historical events that happened during the Holocaust can be proven to have affected the annex member’s mood and relationships in the drama, “Anne Frank.”

Anne Frank, a dashing girl who survived partially of World War Two, was born in Frankfurt, Germany June 12, 1929. After the Nazis took power in 1933, the Franks moved to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, things took an outrageous turn for the worst. Since being Jews, the Frank family would have to go to an atrocious place, known as concentration camps. However, a law was passed and all Jews had to register themselves in. That registry was for the Nazis to find out where the Jews lived. The following spring, the Nazis yet had passed another law. The law stated that all Jewish people had to put a yellow star on their clothing that said “Jood” on it. Subsequently, Jewish families were being called up to go to transit camps. From the transit camps they would go to Concentration camps. Concurrently, the Frank Family went into hiding. The German invasion of the Nazis started on May 10, 1940. A year later in 1941, the Franks had started making tactics and preparations to go into hiding, before the Nazis would accordingly reach them. With the help of Otto Frank, Anne’s dad and his colleagues at the Opteka Company, Otto was able to prepare a hiding place for his family. Furthermore, the dreadful day had come. July, 1942, they had moved into the hiding place, called the Secret Annex. The Franks, Van Pels’, and other occupants of the hiding place hid in a secret attic apartment on 263 Prinsengracht Street. Before the Franks, and Van Pels’ got there, colleagues by the names of Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler , Jan Gies, and Miep Gies, had helped set up the hiding place by smuggling food, and gathering clothing.

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,

Anne Frank, one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust gained fame after the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl. She documents her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. She once said, “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.” Life in the concentration camps was worse for Jewish women than it was for men. They faced even more difficulty and were being treated more cruelly. During the Holocaust, the government frequently subjected women, both Jewish and non-Jewish, to brutal persecution that was sometimes unique to the gender of the victims. Women had to go to drastic measures to survive while incarcerated. Nazi’s ideology was called the “Final Solution”, this was the complete annihilation of all Jews. All of this made the Holocaust brutal for women.

The Holocaust was one of the worst events that happoned in history. One girl Anne Frank is one of the most honored holocaust heroes. From her childhood to the time she was in the concentration camp. She has inspired a lot of people's lives.

There were many Jews to suffer and die during World War II, under the rule of Adolf Hitler. Although all the victims of the Holocaust matter, there was one in particular that many people still read and learn about everyday. This “one” was a young girl named Anne Frank. She and her family suffered along with many others. Some even lived to tell about it. Although she did not live, she still lives on through her diary.

Officers took them and two of the helpers away, the Jews to concentration camps, helpers to be interrogated. Though they had been captured, Anne was actually feeling joyful to be outdoors once again. All eight were taken to Westerbork, where Anne, always social, made friends. Otto was separated from his family, though they were still able to see each other in the evenings. Then, all were sent to the infamous Auschwitz. Here, Otto saw his daughters for the last time, before they were seperated. For once, Anne was silent. Anne and Margot were selected to go on to Bergen-Belsen, but Edith was considered to old to continue on. She was devastated as she watched her children leave. At this point, Anne’s relationship with her mom was much stronger than what it had been it the annex. After their arrival at Bergen-Belsen, they found Anne’s old friends from Westerbork, and celebrated many holidays with each other, trying not to remember they had lost family. Later on, Anne found a friend she knew even before going into the annex, who threw extra food to her. Life surely wasn’t good, but Anne was okay now that she had her friends and sister, some extra food, and hope that the war was ending soon. Suddenly, Margot had become sick and Anne refused to be without her, so they both went to the sick bay. Soon, they

The Holocaust was a brutal time for the Jews living throughout the European continent. During this time, many Jews were hauled off to work camps. As a result, many Jewish families went into hiding; residing in the homes and offices of those Europeans who opposed Hitler’s ideas to kill the Jews. In the book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Otto Frank leads the two families, the Franks and the Van Daans into the secret Annex. Otto rescued the Annex members by being brave, caring, and responsible.

If you were told that you were contrastive and not valuable because of what you believed, how would you react? Would you move? Would you go into hiding? World War II was a problematic time in world history. It was difficult for the parents, families, and children. Anne Frank lived during the time of the Holocaust.

There were heroes in the Holocaust and then there were bystanders. It’s super easy to be a bystander however it’s super hard to be a hero. The people that were heroes were the people that stand up for what they believe in. Also, people who save others lives are heroes. Great Examples of Heroes are Anne Frank and Irena Sendler.

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,
