In “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Anne and her family had to go into hiding during World War II and they struggled to survive. While they were in the Secret Annex, everyone’s emotions were affected because of the outside events that happened such as going into hiding, a thief, and the invasion. Mrs Van Daan, Mr. Van Daan, Peter, and Dussel joined them in the Secret Annex where they stayed in hiding in order to stay alive. It was a very small room, but they made connections and all got along together. Everyone got annoyed of each other, but one way or another, they survived and lived happily until they were caught by the Green Police. When the Franks were on their way to the Secret Annex, they tried to bring as much as they could, especially clothing. They would wear layers of clothing and they tried to bring a very few amount of suitcases, so no one would find them suspicious. They had to wear Stars of David because they were jews. The Green Police were so strict about jews and their stars being on them at all times. When Peter and his family got to the Secret Annex after the Franks, he began to take his Star of David off. In the diary, Anne states,”What’re you going to do with yours?” Peter says, “Burn it.” When Peter burns his star, Anne realizes that he is right. They don’t really matter anymore because the stars were basically labeling them. They love their culture and race but they like to embrace it without being labeled in a bad way.

It was these small publishers, that would have some Jewish link to them, that he found would do it at all, and when he would have it published in different countries, he would tailor the content to make it more tolerable for the reader in that
In Brett Kaufman’s painting, Anne Frank outside looking in, he is implying how Frank never got to have a chance to live her life due to having to hide away from the war going on all around her.
