Anne Frank Family

First of all, Anne Frank is only one of a million Jewish children who died during the slaughter and she represents the lost potential of all the children. However, she is one of the most recognized victims because of her diary. Only a small amount of children persecuted during the catastrophe wrote diaries that have survived. Her diary reflects a varied and complex view of a young girl who lived and died during the mass murder. Her diary is one of the best-written diaries authored by a teenager living and hiding during a catastrophe and details a

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.

The Holocaust, a morbid atrocity that made people question humanity, was the cause of millions of deaths. One of those victims of this brutality was Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis along with her family. Although she was merely ordinary, Anne Frank kept a diary which became a significant, historical artifact in the modern world as it details her account of concealing her identity from the outside world. Her story, told in an innocent perspective, allows individuals to reflect the dreadful events of the Holocaust and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Even though she died along with millions of other victims from the Holocaust, her spirit still exists thanks to her articulately written words in her diary which is now considered one of the most famous works of literature. Anne Frank’s legacy still lives on today because her story provides a primary source of a dark period in history, insightful contemplation of humanity, and motivation for people to stand up against unjustified persecution.

Otto, her father, was a very well respected businessman and a leader of the Jewish community. Anne had one sibling, a sister named Margot, who was two years older. At the time, the country 's leader was Adolf Hitler, his followers that supported him were known as “Nazi’s”. Hitler blamed Germany 's economic disasters on the Jewish people, in order to fix this, he wanted to annex people who practiced the Jewish faith out of the country. He sent these people to concentration camps, better known as death camps. It was almost impossible for anyone to survive. The camps consisted of gas chambers, leading poison into a room killing everyone. The main cause of death was starvation, and the poor conditions leading to diseases. Throughout the book, she explains how hard it was to for her, and her family to get away from these horrible tragedies that took place. “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” Anne tried to see the positives in life, but it is hard when a grand genocide is happening.

Adolf Hitler was a horrible man, and he made Jew's lives horrible. Killing and torturing more than 6 million, just because they’re Jewish. The drama by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett shows that Anne Frank and 7 others crammed themselves into a secret annex building for 25 months straight. Little did they know, their few month hiding place became a few year hiding place. Hiding from the Nazis, the 8 always lived in faltering hope that the Allied Forces would come and save them from Hitler’s reign of terror. The historical events in The Diary of Anne Frank changed the behaviors of the characters as well as the relationships between characters.

Anne Frank faced adversity from her own family and the people who she had contact every day in the Secret Annexe. She was misunderstood and rejected from giving her opinions in the adults’ conversations just because she was just a teenager. She was probably more mature and thoughtful than Mrs. Van Daan. Her actions were always compared to her sister’s, which was unfair because she was expected to meet the near-impossible expectations

Miriam Korber and Alice Ehrmann have many similarities as far as their experiences during the Holocaust. They both see unthinkable horrors in the form of “hunger, cold, illness, filth, death, humiliation, and despair” (Korber 245). Unlike the six million Jews killed by the Holocaust, Alice and Miriam both survive, which led me to examine how their different experiences and personalities help them survive. They both face their emotions directly and use their diaries to vent which may be part of the reason they survive. On the other hand, Anne Frank always has hope and is naive to some of the horrors that others are experiencing. In this horrible time Anne Frank has privilege compared to Miriam and Alice who don’t have a support system or

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 took power as chancellor of Germany (Anne Frank Biography). What people did not know was that soon one of the world’s darkest times was on the verge of taking hold. In the next decade, approximately six million Jews died, along with others that Hitler deemed unworthy enough to live. He claimed that he was only making the country stronger by getting rid of those with “bad genes”. There were an uncountable number of strong figures during this period of time, known as the “Holocaust”, and they have all made a great impact on the way that we now view the Holocaust. One of these heroines, is Anne Frank, who has inspired the world with her first-hand knowledge of the Holocaust, allowing us to see the events through the eyes of a child.

Since the holocaust entered the popular culture in countries such as the USA and Ireland, it was mere public ignorance that led to a variety of representations of the tragedy that was the holocaust. One piece of literature that has impacted many peoples’ opinion on the holocaust comes from the diary of Anne Frank, an adolescent girl who was trapped in hiding during the Nazi occupation of her country. The worldwide popularity of the novel led to over 30 million copies being sold and Andrea Pitzer believes ‘came to represent the American interpretation of the holocaust’. The book offers a unique representation of the holocaust in the sense that we do not hear any information from her journey after she is sent to a concentration camp and do not hear any details of her death. The power and effectiveness of the diary however comes from the historical events that surrounded her account. Kee Ribbon’s believes that Anne Franks diary is ‘sequential art’ and has been used worldwide to help people ‘get a grip on the transnational representation of the historical conflict(WW2) beyond the battlefield’. The personal narrative that she provides in her diary also reaches out to that emotional appeal that hooks the audience in the sense that her in-depth personal experiences interests the readers like that of the work of speigleman.

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.

"'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

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.

Anne Frank’s diary is one of the most famous examples of how the Jews were treated during Hitler reign of terror and dictatorship. Plus on top of the Germans it did not make anything better with everyone teasing her and being mean and rude to her. The worst part is her mother to her did not even seem like a mother because of how mean she was verbally or in Anne’s mind anyway. It is also weird how she actually got along better with her father. In fact it seemed as if Anne and her mother played favorites. I am making this essay to show how she also had to struggle with her own parents and not only in camp. So with that being said I will show you how her different relationships with her parents improve or decrease while time goes by.

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,
