Betrayed by their country, locked up in camps, and being tortured while suffering from day to day, are the people who have experienced and seen a reality to which the majority of folks thought would always stay a horrific fantasy. Throughout the course of history, countless amounts of people have been discriminated for their religion or their gender. During World War Two, Jewish people, some who considered themselves German, were discriminated for their religion. In America, Japanese-Americans were targeted simply for having the same facial features as the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. Throughout these years, people have best responded to conflict through fear, expressing that fear through diaries, friends, letters, and having positive attitudes throughout it all. The Story of Anne Frank, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Miss Breed, all illuminate the disparate types of conflict involved in their time spent during the war. Anne Frank, a girl of only thirteen years old at the start of the war has become a vast inspiration for people of all ages.

This literary work truly shows how Anne Frank was a martyr of racism and an insightful chronicler of her time period and place. The work also shows the typical adolescence of Anne Frank and her constant arguments with her mother in particular. It also deals with the day to day hiding she and her family went through. The only problem with the book is that the fact that Anne Frank rewrote her diary about two months before she was captured because she wanted her journal to be published after the war and she wanted to peruse a career in journalism. Therefore it is hard to tell what existed in her original copy and how much did she add afterwards.

In many times throughout history groups of people have been discriminated against based on race or religion. These people receive inferior rights because of the discrimination.

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.
