Anne Frank Remembered By Miep Gies Analysis

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, she was the daughter of Otto and Edith Frank. Anne and her sister Margot grew up in Germany, but before World War II Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam for two years. During World War II Adolph Hitler killed nearly six million Jews.

Everyone in history has faced a time where there life was flipped upside down. The Jewish lives were flipped upside down when Adolph Hitler rose to power. He killed millions of Jews and used them as a scapegoat for no apparent reason. In The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, the Franks were just one of the millions of Jewish families whose lives were suddenly struck with complications. When the franks tried to escape Hitler by going into hiding Miep Gies stepped up and risked her life to help the Franks. Miep was always trying to give great news and hopefulness to the franks to get there spirits up, that represents optimism.

On August 4, 1944, Anne Frank and the other seven inhabitants living in the annex were arrested by the German Gestapo. Their secret about living in the annex was exposed by an anonymous tip, that led to their arresting. The anonymous tip also led the Gestapo to arrest two office workers that were helping the members of the annex live. The two office workers were sent to Amersfoort Camp, which was located in the Netherlands. Fortunately, one of the office helpers was released after the arrest. The other helper escaped after 6 months of being confined in the camp. As for the members of the annex, they were all transported to Camp Westerbork, located in Northeastern Netherlands. The members of the annex arrived to the camp four days after the arresting, on August 8, 1944.

Anne Frank was a young girl living in Nazi Germany from the height to the end of Hitler's reign. Anne Frank lived a short life, but she lives on through her published diary. It has been said that she has given us some of the closest insight into the troubling times the Jews faced in Germany during the 30's and 40's.

In the news article, ¨The Controversy over Anne Frank's Legacy,¨ published by JTA, and written by Toma Nugend, I agree with what is being said about Anne Frank during the Holocaust. I agree because, although Anne did live in hiding with little food and more people than the annex could have fit, she did have a safe place to stay and much more food to eat than others during her stay in the annex. Anne did not experience as much as others did during the Holocaust. There were some who were in the camps for much longer than Anne was and didn’t have the luxury of staying in hiding for two years with people helping them on the outside. I think if some of the things that were kept out of the diary, ended up staying in the diary or if she was allowed

I would have to disagree with anne on her quote that says, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” I think this way because of Mr. Van Daan when he went and stole all the bread from the cabinets that he should be feeding his children with and he took the bread. However, Someone might disagree with me based on Anne, when she believes everyone is good at heart even the ones killing the other jewish people.

What if Anne Frank’s sister, Margot, lived and made the journey to begin a new life in The United States? Furthermore, delving deeper into speculation, Anne Frank mentioned her older sister also kept a diary, what would we learn from Margot’s perspective if her diary surfaced?

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl described the ordeal of a young girl named Anne Frank. The diary was written over a period of two years. She obtained her diary on her thirteenth birthday and she cherished it very much. At first, she wrote about her life in Amsterdam and lightly described the movement against the Jews. However, “After May 1940 good times rapidly fled: first the war, then the capitulation, followed by the arrival of the Germans, which is when the sufferings of us Jews really began” (Frank 6/20/42). When the Nazis called to take Margot away on Thursday, 9 July, 1942, Anne and her family moved with the Van Daans and their son to the “Secret Annexe.” The "Secret Annexe" were a few rooms hidden behind Mr. Frank’s old office.

Have you ever wondered what life was like during World War 2? Anne Frank had an interesting life during this time. This is how her life was during World War 2. Consequently, Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929. She is the youngest daughter of Otto and Edith Frank, and she has an older sister named Margot Frank. Anne went to school at Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam from 1934 to 1941. Before that she went to school at Jewish Lyceum. Anne’s favorite subject in school was history. She was friends with Hanneli Goslar, who is known by Hannah. Anne was a straight A student and she was one of the “ popular girls” in her school.

How were you when you were a child? “Paper is more patient than a man”-said Anne Frank (Frank 12). Anne Frank was a young girl who hid with her family for a long period of time. Adolf Hitler became a dictator to many people. The categories I will be talking about are Anne’s Frank and Adolf Hitler’s background, family, living conditions, and interest.

Anne Frank and her family were in hiding for two years in an attic. Anne was suppose to go work at a camp in Germany, but they made an escape and said they flew out somewhere else but actually they went to hide in an attic behind a store it was a secret door hidden behind a shelf. While living in the attic Anne Frank wrote everything in a diary. “On August 4, 1944, the Gestapo (German Secret State Police) discovered the hiding place after being tipped off by an anonymous Dutch caller” (Holocaust 1 ).They were discovered and were taken to the camps.

Anne’s diary begins on her thirteenth birthday, June 14th, 1942; she is ecstatic to be able to confide all of her thoughts that spring from the deepest parts of her heart. Anne lives a fortunate life, with wealthy ancestors and multiple boyfriends throughout her life. She declares that her diary will be named “Kitty,” and she commences her routine of writing about the daily events of her life, the adversaries she encounters as a teenage girl, and other topics such as boys and education.

I have learned so much about Jewish history in Berlin and Holland, not only from my research project, but from The Reader as well. While in Berlin, I will be visiting Sachsenhausen, which is a concentration camp located in Germany about 35 kilometers from Berlin in Oranienburg. Michael, from The Reader, also visits Struthof, the nearest concentration camp he could find. I imagine my experience might be similar to his, as I am excited to see what it is like, but also scared how it will impact me emotionally. The story in The Reader involves Hanna, a Nazi who was unable to read or write. This reminds me of Anne Frank, a Holocaust victim, who kept a diary while in hiding from the Nazis. In Anne’s case, her literacy gave her an advantage,

When reading all of the feelings and events added together, two themes stuck out. One theme is that Anne was lonely. In the inside of her book she stated that “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support”. This shows that so far in her life she really did not find the right person to open up to and talk about her most personal thoughts. Another theme I found was being completely

A boy crazy, strong headed and intelligent girl has the life that anyone can dream of, until her nation turned against her and her family. The Diary of Anne Frank, a historical non-fiction story, tells of a girl that had everything but was forced to leave her life and go into hiding with her family and strangers. Her story forces us to think of the advantages that we all take for granted. Even the simple things such as getting a fresh breath of air. Anne Frank was a Jewish girl during WWII, and was intelligent and had many friends. Anne and her mother, father, and sister Margot fled from their home to escape the threat of Adolf Hitler. Anne was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. Anne Frank went from a popular school girl to being
