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.

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party killed millions of people in the short time of six years during World War II. Other people, such as Anne Frank and her family, tried to avoid the cruel intentions of the Nazis by hiding in an annex for two years. The historical events of World War II affected the lives of Anne and the others hiding in the annex. Historical events in The Diary of Anne Frank causes extensive changes to the drama. Two primary changes that occur due to historical events are the character’s traits and the mood of the drama.

Early Life 1929 the 12th of June, a child is born, and that child is Annelies ‘‘Anne’’ Marie Frank. Anne Frank is a Jewish girl who grew up during WW2 and the Holocaust. Throughout her childhood, her and her father Otto, her mother Edith, and her older sister Margot, lived generally carefree lives in the German city, Frankfurt am Main. Growing up she was raised as a liberal Jew, and her and her family typically didn’t follow all customs and traditions of Judaism, the religion that Jewish people followed. When Anne was born, the family lived in an apartment like building called Marbachweg 307, where they rented out two floors. In 1931 when Anne was around the age of three, they moved into Ganghoferstrasse 24 in a modern, liberal area called Dichterviertel. When Hitler began his reign in 1933 the Frank family had moved out of fear of their lives, and were among the 30 000 Jews who had managed to escape Germany. When the family moved to Amsterdam, Anne and Margot were immediately enrolled in school. Margot was enrolled in public school, while Anne was enrolled in a Montessori school, a type of education focused mainly on observation of the child. During her years at her Montessori school Anne showed great aptitude for writing, and her friend Hanneli Goslar even recalls Anne writing a lot when they were younger, though she never let anyone read her writing and would shield it with her hands and refuse to tell anyone about it.

Anne Frank, short for Anneliese Marie Frank, was born in 1929, and died around 1945. Her father, Otto Frank, was born in 1889 and died in 1980, and was a prosperous businessman.

Anne Frank was a victim of the holocaust, and she would later use her experience before, during, and after WWII to illustrate through her writing, the thought of a teenager during a time war.

Adolf Hitler was a horrible man, and he made Jew's lives horrible. Killing and torturing more than 6 million, just because they’re Jewish. The drama by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett shows that Anne Frank and 7 others crammed themselves into a secret annex building for 25 months straight. Little did they know, their few month hiding place became a few year hiding place.

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.

The year is 1942. They are hiding for their lives; struggling to survive. In “The Diary of Anne Frank”, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, There is a group of people in the annex that are in hiding because the Nazis are targeting Jews. The Franks, Van Daans and a dentist named Mr. Dussel are the people hiding in the annex and they are the Jews in hiding, they are forced to make hard choices that will determine their future and they are trying to stay hidden from the Nazis so they can survive the Holocaust. The Holocaust is the Nazis and Adolf Hitler killing and capturing anyone and everyone that doesn't agree with them.

Millions of jews died in the era known as the holocaust, the franks were forced into hiding cause of it. Anne frank and here family spent 25 months into hiding to avoid the Nazis. The whole frank family and their friends hid until the allied forces could liberate Holland. As time passed many historical events that occurred the annex influenced the moods and relationships of the characters.

Anne Frank was a young Jewish teenager who had to go into hiding during the Nazi occupation in Holland. In the same town of Amsterdam, Etty Hillesum, a Dutch woman who also happened to be a jew, also dealt with the persecution of the Nazis. The two both kept a diary in which they relayed their feelings of the situations in which they were in. The two resemble and contrast each other with details found in these diaries and out. Without out a doubt there are similarities and differences pertaining to the experience and awareness Anne and Etty.

Can you believe there was a time in recent history that a person could be tortured or put to death because of their race or belief? Anne Frank was one of the millions of Jews who die during the holocaust. The holocaust was a terrible event where Jews were being wiped from earth’s history and existent. Anne Frank wrote a diary of the daily events, she and her family had to go thru to try and survive. Her diary was found and published showing a young Jewish girl’s side of the holocaust and showing the many things that went wrong with the world.

The Holocaust was a brutal time for the Jews living throughout the European continent. During this time, many Jews were hauled off to work camps. As a result, many Jewish families went into hiding; residing in the homes and offices of those Europeans who opposed Hitler’s ideas to kill the Jews. In the book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Otto Frank leads the two families, the Franks and the Van Daans into the secret Annex. Otto rescued the Annex members by being brave, caring, and responsible.

Constantly during the play the people hiding in the Annex were left in the dark of the news outside of the Annex. This is illustrated on pages 306 and 307 when Mr. Dussel arrives at the Secret Annex. After Mr. Dussel turned up at the Annex he addressed Mr. Van Pelt warning of how bad it has become, depicting the situation, saying that “Right here in Amsterdam every day hundreds of Jews disappear . . .” Along with being in the dark about events going on beyond the Annex, the Franks, Van Pelts, and Mr. Dussel were constantly on edge, nervous about being caught. From start to end of the drama whenever a noise came from inside the office or outside on the street everyone would freeze in silence, overcome with fear that the Nazi’s have found them. Anne describes the terror of these moments on page 291, stating that “It’s the silence in the nights that frightens me most. Every time I hear a creak in the house, or a step on the street outside, I’m sure they’re coming for us.” Another key point that emphasizes the fearful living conditions that the people in the Annex felt was their dependence on their protectors. With so many people having the knowledge of their existence in hiding, it was nerve racking for the members of the Annex. At any point just one person could let their secret slip or reveal their location on purpose, and because of that they

The small portions of food where a struggle for them because everyone was always hungry and they didn't know when the next time they could receive more food. Also it was different because there was no sunlight right except for one room and limited water and there hygiene was not the greatest. While living in the Secret Annex they were stolen from all of their freedom. They had a hard time celebrating for holidays because if they were too loud they fear somebody would hear them. these tough times but they down fall because they could not represent what they believed in. they were labeled and ordered to be put to work or die just because they were Jewish. Life in the annex got boring at times especially for the young teenagers because they were deprived of their personalities and their Hobbies. The hardest thing that came up on the family Fallen hiding was the fact that they didn't know what would happen to them at any minute somebody could give them up. They were locked away in a room unknowing of what could happen to them all they knew what was inside of that room and what was on the
