Her parents sent her to the Netherlands after World War I, along with other children who came to recover from Tuberculosis and malnutrition. She liked the Netherlands so much and her parents let her stay with her Dutch Family. She started working with Otto Frank in 1933, and became his secretary. Otto had a trading company, Opekta, making jams. She later met the Frank family and became friends with them. In the spring of 1942, Otto asked Miep to help his family go into hiding. She agreed and Otto, his wife, and kids were well taken care of, because Miep made sure the family had food and other supplies daily. She went into the secret annex, where she hid the Frank family, very often. She also kept the business going. When the annex was invaded by the Nazi soldiers and every one was arrested and taken out, Miep saved Anne’s diary. She hid it in her desk and when the war was over and Otto found out Margot (Anne's sister), and Anew had died in Bergen-Belsen. Miep gave him Anne's diary.

Anne Frank is resilent in many different ways such as being hopeful,strong,and persistant through the tough times of the holocaust. During the holocaust she got a diary from her father Otto Frank for her thirteenth birthday which helped her to keep sane and it also allowed her to express herself in writting and not actions.

On January 30, 1939 Adolf Hitler addressed the German Reichstag stating, “If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!” Hitler had believed that the Jewish people throughout Europe were enemies of his people in Germany. The best way to stop this was to wipe out the population of Jews throughout Germany, as he established over 40,000 concentration camps killing many of the Jews who went there. One of those Jewish people who went to a concentration camp was 15 year-old Anne Frank who wrote about her struggles in her diary writing, “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” Frank died in Auschwitz believed from typhus a disease that is transported by lice, ticks, mites, and rat fleas giving the person a purple rash, headaches, and a high fever. Her disease gives us now the feeling of how these concentration camps were. Upon arrival at the camps the enslaved prisoners of war would receive their prisoner uniforms with their serial number along with a tattoo of their same serial number. However, the prisoners that were instructed to go into a gas chamber which killed them instantly were not marked and not seemed important. The gas chambers were first used in the later months of 1939 releasing poison gas into a
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.”

Throughout all of this suffering, Anne Frank still stood by her ideals she talked about and saw, such as hope, selflessness, and family. Anne had hope that she would soon return to a classroom someday, after the war is over. She also talked about selflessness, because of the people who risked their lives to keep her safe.

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 Frank family, consisting of a father, mother, and two young daughters, were tortured during this time period. One particle family member, the youngest daughter, legacy still lives on today. Anne Frank was both a hero and a victim of the Holocaust because she was forced into hiding, her loved ones were killed, and her diaries impacted many.
