Decent Essays

Many people were hurt by Adolf Hitler's plans and one thing he achieved was killing six million Jewish people including children. Anne Frank and her family were one of them. They lived in a secret and tiny annex where Otto used to work. They started off just going to stay there for a few months till the Allied Forces could invade Holland but that didn’t work out. In the drama wrote by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett eight people crowded into annex for 2 long years not being able to go outside. Many historical events were impacted in the drama Anne Frank. Even though these problems took place outside of the secret annex it changed the mood and relationships of the character. Mood

If you refuse the call-up notice, then they come and drag you from your home and send you to a death camp.” (Hackett, 130) The direct quote is next, “They are gone.” She turns away in tears. Mrs. Frank motions to Margot to comfort her. Margot goes to Anne, putting her arms comfortingly around her.(Hackett,130). This event impacted the drama by showing Anne’s mood change. Before being told what was being happened to the Jew’s by Dussel she was somewhat happy. After she was upset as it shows in the dialogue. It also shows that The Jews were being taken and if the Franks were to be found they would be immediately sent to the death
