Anne Frank

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

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.”

As today’s teenagers connect less and less to the past and its lessons, it is necessary to reflect on the commonalities that our generation has with past generations like Anne Frank’s because we are more alike than it seems. Anne Frank went through many of our present-day problems that teens today face every day.

“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

“Despite everything I believe that people are really good at his shows heart.”, writes Anne Frank. Despite her dire circumstances, Anne Frank wrote optimistically about people’s hearts. Anne and her family were forced into hiding when Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Along with her family another Jewish family, the VanDaans, stayed at the Secret Annex with hope of outlasting the war and hate in which Hitler has instilled upon Germany. As a gift from her father Anne has received a diary, in which she writes down her experiences and thoughts as she hid in the Secret Annex. Anne’s optimistic idea about people's hearts is false, some people always stay hateful always placing blame on other, bad people’s reactions to something will never be result in good, however some people might argue that people are just trying to good with bad methods.

Anne Frank, a Jewish child at the time, faced constant persecution from the Nazis and had personal struggles similar to those of other Jewish children. This was an effect of World War Two since Adolf Hitler believed that the German race was superior, so during his world domination, his immoral notion created devastation among Jews. His wave of dictatorship affected each and every family, and although many of them faced death, mostly all faced sorrow. This world-wide crisis reveals the parallel between several Jewish families, such as the Franks, and how they were able to cope in their racist community and oppressive setting.

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 began in 1933 and ended 1945, was the reason three teenagers and five adults had to begin hiding in an Annex. While in hiding the relationships between the children and their parents weakened. Anne Frank’s relationship with her parents had some differences and similarities. Anne’s relationship with her mother and father were different. Anne’s relationship with her mother was difficult, while Anne’s relationship with her father was very close. They are both similar because they love Anne very much.

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.

“More than 70 years after the Holocaust, the horrors of Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Darfur are sobering reminders that preventing future genocides and mass atrocities remains an enormous challenge”(Obama P 3). In the novel Forgotten Fire, Vahan Kenderian shares his experiences through the Armenian War and Genocide, where his family and most of his people were killed. In the book, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne explains her thoughts and feelings, during some of her teen years, and her experiences through World War Two and the Holocaust. Through the experiences of Anne Frank and Vahan Kenderian, they experience many things that are alike yet different from each other. In 1915, the Ottoman Government decided on

Anne Frank was a survivor of the Holocaust because of hiding in the annex for two years during World War 2, she survived past her 14th and 15th birthday and, survived a concentration camp that was liberated, that sent her and Margot to Bergen-Belsen.

‘’ 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.

The Holocaust was a dark time period where millions of people were killed, including a young girl named Anne Frank (“Anne Frank.” The Famous People website). She died at the age of fifteen from horrible treatment and deadly laboring for hours and hours (Feldman). She left all her belongings and memories so she could be safe from the German Nazi’s. Her early prepared her helped her get through and watch her country be destroyed by the holocaust in which she tragically died in.

The hero that I have chosen is a brave, intelligent and a kind hearted girl named Anne Frank.

In the holocaust there was a very human history event where millions of Jews and others who were in great danger with their lives because of their beliefs. Many lost their lives from the Nazis, because the Jews did belief the same of Nazis. Anne Frank was a Jew who had to go into hiding, and she stated: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Despite every hard time and hate Anne and her family faced, she still was able to see the good in each person whos alive. After I read the play I will have to agree with Anne’s very moving quote that she said. One of the main reasons I am agreeing with Anne is during the time of Hanukkah when Anne made everyone a thoughtful present, and Anne was very kind to everyone throughout the play. However, I can still see where some may disagree due to Mr. Dussel's actions that he made. Mr. Dussel had a lack of sympathy for others, and had some unkind actions towards Anne.
