Operation Overlord Anne Frank Effect

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.”

The events recounted in Anne Frank’s Diary took place during World War 11. By 1933, the strongest party in Germany had gained ultimate power with Hitler under their command. Hitler was Germany’s dictator who spread his gospel of racial hatred through politics. While poverty and unemployment were at an all time high he launched a campaign of anti-Semitism. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, claiming that they were “racially inferior.” He developed an idea of a Master Aryan Race, the need to rid Germany of “inferior people”, such as Jews and Gypsies, and the need to expand Germany’s borders. In doing this, he caused many Jews to abandoned their homes and go into total isolation. The Frank family

While in hiding, Anne Frank was closed off from the world as she was not allowed to leave the “Secret Annex”. To pass time Anne would read books and wrote in an autograph book she received for her 13th birthday, the book in which she used as a diary described her life in hiding, her various thoughts, and relationships with the members of the Secret Annex in which Anne was hiding in. Before going into hiding, Otto Frank had notified a few of his most trusted workers where they would be hiding. The workers would shortly visit the annex to tend the Franks with necessities such as food and gave news of the war. Although life was hard, their survival from Hitler’s regime seemed promising until in a sudden sad turn of events, one of Otto’s workers

Storoies has been born during the Holocaust, Anne Frank's was one of them. She was a Jewish young teenage girl who lived in Amsterdam, Holland. When the Nazis occupyed Holland, she went into hinding with her family in 1942 when her sister, Margot was called up to a concentration camp. A few other Jews has joined them later on. After more than a year of hiding, they were discovered in 1944 and were seperated during transitions to camps. Anne and Margot stayed together but died in 1945 of typhus, only a few weeks before their camp was liberated. In fact, the whole Frank family didn't survive except for Otto Frank, Anne's father. Otto Frank returned to Amsterdam and later found out that Anne had kept a diary the whole time they were in hiding. The diary survived because of Meip, a guardian of the Secret Annex, she saved it for Anne after

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

She and her sister Margot were both transferred in a cattle car on a three day train ride into Bergen Belsen in October of 1944. Anne was only 15 years old and her sister was 19 when the arrived . Anne Frank wrote a diary about her life. Later they found her diary and it became a treasured record of the Holocaust. Anne Franks journal is very important because only a few prisoners wrote diaries during the Holocaust. In her diary she recorded her fears, hopes, and experiences. They found the diary in a secret apartment after her family had be arrested. The diary was kept by Miep Gies one of the people who helped Anne hide. Anne and her sister both died in January of 1945 from typhus just a few weeks before the camp was

For example, when Anne mentioned their hiding place, “was to be upstairs in the building where Father used to have his business” (Goodrich 104). The Frank family were fortunate to acquire a concealed refuge, unlike most Jews who had to undergo through labored concentration camps. They were granted an opportunity to continue forth with their lives under certain circumstances as wells as to continue prevailing for an extended period of time, even if it meant a few more months. Moreover, after Mr. Van Daan was convicted of stealing food in the middle of the night, Mrs. Frank could no longer abide with the remarks of the Van Daans, she said, “‘There are other hiding places,’” Mrs. Van Daan replied, “‘A cellar… a closet. I know. And we have no money left even to pay for that’” (Goodrich 177). Jews had to tolerate the agony of detecting an asylum with a constraint of limited time. If many people didn’t manage to seek shelter, severe consequences would have been ensued. To conclude, when the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler, invades the Netherlands in May 1940, Hitler develops a brutal police force known as the Gestapo, who administer laws in order to isolate Jews from the rest of the Dutch population (Frank Family and World War II Timeline). This commenced the process of concentration camps as well as being in hiding, which is what the

On the Morning of August 4th 1944, the Annex was surrounded by German Police following a tip off from an informer who was never identified. The Franks including two other families were taken to head quarters where they were interrogated and help over night. On August 5th, they were transferred to the House of Detention, which was an over crowded prison. After two long days of staying in prison they were then transported to Westerbork Concentration Camp. Because of going into hiding, the Franks were known as criminal and were sent to the Punishment Barrack for hard labor.

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler took power as chancellor of Germany (Anne Frank Biography). What people did not know was that soon one of the world’s darkest times was on the verge of taking hold. In the next decade, approximately six million Jews died, along with others that Hitler deemed unworthy enough to live. He claimed that he was only making the country stronger by getting rid of those with “bad genes”. There were an uncountable number of strong figures during this period of time, known as the “Holocaust”, and they have all made a great impact on the way that we now view the Holocaust. One of these heroines, is Anne Frank, who has inspired the world with her first-hand knowledge of the Holocaust, allowing us to see the events through the eyes of a child.

Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kulger, Jan Gies and Meip Gies helped arrange food, clothes, books, and kept contact with the outside world (The Story of). Along with the Frank's, they also hide four Dutch citizens. For two years, everything was going fine until an anonymous Dutch caller ruined the Secret Annex (Anne Frank 2). The two Frank sisters were sent to the Bergen- Belsom concentration camp in 1944. In March 1945, the sisters died of typhus, just weeks before British forces liberated the camp (Anne Frank

At the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Anne and Margot developed a deadly typhus virus. They were already very weak and sick. Both passed away in February or March, 1945.

"'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning” (Frank 47). On June 12th, 1929, Annelies Marie Frank was born, in Frankfurt, Germany, her father was Otto Frank, who was a lieutenant in the German army in World War 1, who then he became a businessman in Germany and the Netherlands, and her mother was Edith Frank, Anne also had an older sister named Margot. Before everything had gone south the Franks had been just a normal Jewish family who loved their lives. At the age of four the Anne, and her family had moved to Amsterdam, because Adolf Hitler was invading Germany. Hitler was not a very nice person, he thought that the jews were a race, which they weren’t it was a religion, and

The Frank family was one of the most well known stories of people going into hiding. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum asserts, “Anne Frank, was born to Otto and Edith Frank; she had an older sister, Margot Frank… After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Otto Frank fled to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he had business connections. The rest of the Frank family followed Otto; Anne was the last one to arrive in 1934… For two years they lived in a secret attic apartment behind the office of the family-owned business, at 263 Prinsengracht Street, which Anne referred to in her diary as the Secret Annex… On August 4, 1944 their hiding place was discovered by the Gestapo,” (“Anne Frank”). Oscar Schindler was another remarkable person during the Holocaust. He was a member of the Nazi party, a womanizer, and a war profiteer. He rescued over one thousand Jews from death at Auschwitz. Oscar Schindler, Generations will remember states, “He remained true to his Jews, the workers he referred to as my children. He kept the SS out and everyone alive. To keep the SS off of his back, he would bribe them time and time again. Oscar states while being interviewed, ‘I felt the Jews were being destroyed, I had to help them. There was no choice.’ Mr. and Mrs. Schindler spent millions on their Jews, but died penniless”, (“The Schindler Story”). The Jews who had escaped the concentration camps were lucky, because life was far

It started small with Jews being put into different schools, or having to wear certain clothing so people could identify who they were. Otto Frank knew it was a matter of time before things got worse, and decided to do the only thing he could think of which was hide. The Franks hid in a spare room where Otto used to work. Anne called this room the “secret annex” (Lindwer 12). They were very short on food and water, but nevertheless remained hopeful. Anne wrote in her diary while she lived in the annex. “Would anyone, either Jew or non-Jew, understand this about me? That I’m simply a young girl badly in need of some rollicking fun?” she explained exactly how she felt about the situation around her but never let her hope fade away. (Frank). After two years of hiding someone, still unknown today, gave away the Franks location and everyone living in the annex was arrested by Nazi police and taken to concentration camps.

During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
