Anne explains here how differently the Jews are treated and how the Nazis posed an identity on the Jewish people. The Jewish people were identified as a whole separate group that were treated as if they were less than human or a different species. Although Anne doesn’t believe this about any Jewish people (including herself), she is still forced to live through it. This imposed identity contributes to Anne’s identity later on; she feels fearful, alone, and even ends up questioning her own identity. In this passage, we can see that Anne does not think the identity imposed by the Nazis is being reinforced by the Dutch. She understands that Holland is under Nazi control and is being occupied by Nazis, but doesn’t think that the Dutch people are …show more content…
She says that although she is only fourteen, and still considered a child, she feels as more of a person than a kid. We can see that she makes her own decisions and thinks her own thoughts because she knows the difference between right and wrong. This makes up a big chunk of her identity alone because she is forming her own sense of morals, which highly contribute to the actions she makes and the person she is. Once again we can see Anne has developed her own sense of who she is. She explains that she is a woman, and a strong woman at that. She takes part of who she is, and uses it to form a stronger sense of self-identity. Anne used her gender to mark her identity. Not only that, but in this passage she also mentions that she has goals and opinions of her own, making her independent and further developing who she is by forming her own though. In this passage, Anne talks about how Jewish people are identified and ‘lesser people’ and treated like animals. She also talks about how Jewish people are treated because of this imposed identity. Since they are dehumanized, they are forced to follow a much stricter code of conduct. What would be considered a mistake or accident for any non-Jewish person was proof or an example of ‘collective inferiority’ if a Jewish person did it. This all ties back into the fact that the Jewish people were identified as a whole different
At this point, Anne found herself searching for answers. Not only about racial tensions but about her developing body. She was entering a new phase in her life, where
In the novel Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl, the author, Anne shows you need to be strong during a time of struggle to not let the world steal or make you think lesser of your identity. Anne indicates this early on in the book when she and her family take their belongings into the secret annexe. “We got sympathetic looks from people on their way to work. You could see by their faces how sorry they were they couldn't offer us a lift; the gaudy yellow star spoke for itself” (16). Anne knows that people will look and talk, let people look and stare even if they have pity towards you. You need to be proud of who you are. Don't let people, by their look towards you, make you feel bad for yourself. Along this start, Anne starts to think of
Anne Frank, a name? A book? A girl? A prisoner? Anne was all these things. She lived in a world ruled by the Germans. Adolf Hitler, the ruler of the Nazi Germans ordered for the whole Jew population to be destroyed. He ordered all Jews to be taken from their homes and to be sent to labor or death camps, also known as concentration camps. Once Anne’s family heard of this they went into hiding with four other Jews. After two years of hiding, not being able to go outside, talk or move a lot, or being able to use the W.C. at certain times of the day, the Franks, Vaan Dans, and Mr. Dussel were turned in by a random citizen and were arrested. Before that time Anne had a diary where she wrote her deepest most inner thoughts. She once said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” I disagree with Anne’s statement, “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.”
Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.
Anne and her family has very hard lives during the Holocaust. They treat you so poorly in the concentration camps. The fact that they hid for a very long time instead of registering, made them prisoners so they were treated even worse.

"Anne’s Voice. I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go into hiding. But I really don’t know yet myself. I only know it’s funny never to be able to go outdoors . .
Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.
Among the on million of the children killed was Anne Frank. Anne was a Jewish, teenage, girl who's family went into hiding. They stayed hidden for over two years in their Secret Annex. Over the course of these two years, she kept a dairy that has now been published. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl had been translated into over 60 languages and is read and studdied world-wide. She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began. People working the camps strped them of glasses, jewlery, shoes, and anything else that made them a individual. In addition to this the Nazi cut their hair and put them all in uniforms so tthey all looked the same. After anther month of
Many, many people suffered during the Holocaust war. The Jews in particular were in grave danger. The drama ‘Anne Frank’ outlines so many ways that this historical event caused a shift in the mood of the characters and their relationships. Before the Holocaust, Anne Frank was just an ordinary Jewish girl living in Germany. A German leader named Adolf Hitler developed a plan to destroy the Jews and to rule over the specific places where they lived. What Hitler did to these poor Jews, and the sheer terror they endured at the hands of this Nazi leader is purely unfathomable.
There was always a discrimination between the blacks and the whites. The whites would publically insult black and announce that they were genetically inferior to white. This made Anne want to know what made them different to whites. One day she made her white friends undress
Don’t you hate it when your family and strangers treat you in a harsh way. Anne Frank was treated harshly by some people in the secret annex people would yell at her call her spoiled lazy and was always telling her what to do. But some people treated her nicely like Peter VanDaan and her dad in a way that made her feel loved by some people around her. Anne was a twelve year old girl when she was forced into hiding because she was a Jew in Nazi territory during WW2. Anne is treated by the people in the annex in many ways and that effects her character in such a way that changes her character.
"The Diary of Anne Frank" tells us a story about how her life as a Jew was drastically changing during the Holocaust and the start of World War II (WWII). She was a very intelligent young woman that had hopes and dreams. Anne was a normal teenager trying to find her way in life. All of that changed when the Nuremburg Race Laws were formed. Her father who was a World War I fighter hid his family and friends in a Secret Annex that was blended in with a normal neighborhood. As she lived for months in the Secret Annex, Frank had written her diary, full of her experiences in the Annex. Everything changed though, when she reached the end of her times in the Annex.

Otto, her father, was a very well respected businessman and a leader of the Jewish community. Anne had one sibling, a sister named Margot, who was two years older. At the time, the country 's leader was Adolf Hitler, his followers that supported him were known as “Nazi’s”. Hitler blamed Germany 's economic disasters on the Jewish people, in order to fix this, he wanted to annex people who practiced the Jewish faith out of the country. He sent these people to concentration camps, better known as death camps. It was almost impossible for anyone to survive. The camps consisted of gas chambers, leading poison into a room killing everyone. The main cause of death was starvation, and the poor conditions leading to diseases. Throughout the book, she explains how hard it was to for her, and her family to get away from these horrible tragedies that took place. “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” Anne tried to see the positives in life, but it is hard when a grand genocide is happening.
When you arrived at a concentration camp, there are two lines. One is if you are sick or elderly you were to be gassed and incinerated and the other line is you were forced into drudgery and if you are not meticulous there can be harsh consequences. Anne’s parents were not going to let their child be forced to work. As Hitler began to prosper, the worse
In the text, Anne tries very hard to care for her mother, and not be so mean. Anne used to be extremely furious with her mother. This was only because they did not thoroughly understand each other.
