Anne Frank Symbols

In the Diary of Anne Frank there is symbolism. An example of this is how symbolism is about the Star of David. Goodrich writes,”We had to wear yellow stars”(Goodrich page 703). This represents symbolism because the Jews had to wear the Star of David. Yellow stars is another word for a symbol that the Nazi’s made the Jews wear on all of their clothes. The Star of David symbolizes faith and hatred from the Nazi’s. It is very hard for Anne to burn her yellow star. Goodrich writes,”You can’t throw…? Something they branded you with …? That they made you wear so they could split on you? I know. I know. But after all, it is the Star of David, isn’t it?”(Goodrich page 709). In conclusion, this quote symbolizes faith.

In “The Diary of Anne Frank” there are many different objects and people that are symbolic to something abstract.

A Secret Annex was a building that was placed between two buildings. The first floor was Otto Frank's business and the second was the hiding spot. The real name in Dutch meant behind or back, so in the diary, they used the term Secret Annex. For over 2 years she lived in the secret home, and that is when she got her journal at the age of 13. Almost every day she would write about her current life and the things going on around her. She would write about how much she missed her friends from school and often missed being outside out in the open air.
