Survival is living on the hope that better things are yet to come in your life. Right now in our country people survive because of hope and the belief that people are good and they will help them out. People survive when they are homeless on the streets only because of the people who are good at heart and give them food or money to buy clothing for the winter. Gerta survived because of her family and friends. Anne Frank survived because she believed that “Despite all the evil going on in the world I still believe that all people are good at heart.”
~ Anne Frank
The Franks were a Jewish family who were living during the Holocaust. They went into hiding because Margot had gotten a letter and she was going to be taken away to a

Her father, who always seemed to know what was on her mind, told her never to do that and never think about that again. One day her father came up to her and told her to put on her snow boots. She did as she was told, and it just so happens that a short period of time later she and other girls were forced on a “Death march,” as it was called. The march was called this because either they died on the way or they marched to their death. Gerda Klein survived this march because of her friends and her determination and hope. He was found by an american soldier, who was also Jewish. He had escaped to the U.S.A. because his family sent him there before they were captured.
Now even though Anne Frank and Gerda Klein were different people and they had different personalities, their lives had things in common. For example, They were both taking to a concentration camp and they were both planning what they were going to do once they were saved. They both had high hopes for their future, like Anne wanted to be a great writer who would be remembered even after she died. Both of their friends either died or were killed at the concentration camp. They were both surviving on little or no food for years. Gerda was a human skeleton when she was found by the american soldiers. These were just a few of the major similarities that I found.
Now they are always differences between people but i just wanted to state a few that I
Mrs.Frank and Margot are both related to Anne Frank and lived in the annex with her. They both had courage, compassion, and they had a little sacrifice.
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.
The Author came out with a strong out look on the situation of Anne Franks Development. Anne Frank was a little girl who lived in Amsterdam with her Father, they lived a normal life until the Holocaust took place and for forced Anne into hiding. Sadly the Nazis found out about the Franks hiding and who they were staying with, Otto Frank was they only one who survived. Anne Frank knew that she would even be living a sad and scary life. "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 . .
Many of these secret homes were on busy streets that Nazis patrolled frequently. Anne Frank’s family was one of these Jews and took up residence in the hidden rooms above her father’s former office. As the end of the war neared, Nazi soldiers began to get worried and cared less about apprehending Jews than they did about killing the ones they already had taken as prisoner.
Surviving is to continue to live or exist despite dangerous or life threatening situations. There are many circumstances that could threaten the survival of a person or a group of people. Drastic situations such as the zombie apocalypse has the potential threat to wipe out the entire human population. Survival of the apocalypse will take an individual and a group's efforts, skills, and determination to escape.
After a lot of the rules for the Jews were set, Gerda was sent to a hard labor camp. During the Holocaust Gerda weighed 68 pounds and she was almost 21 years old, she was overworked and not treated with any sort of respect. Gerda was very strong but was definitely not treated right Just because she was a Jew shouldn’t mean that she should have to go through all this, June 8th was the last day she saw her father which is hard enough and then she got taken away on June 9th which she was taken from her mother also so she was pretty much alone, also she was only 15 years old. When Hitler began his mass-murdering many families that were Jews had to go into hiding and in this case that is exactly what Anne’s family did. “...daddy began to talk of us going into hiding… “We don’t want our belongings to be seized by the Germans , but we certainly don’t want to fall into their clutches ourselves. So we shall disappear of our own accord and not wait until they come and fetch us.”” (Frank 12). Hitler has pushed many families into hiding because if they didn’t they would risk their lives even more of getting taken away and overworked or killed. None of the Jews were treated well and they all would eventually get taken to a concentration camp or the gas chambers unless they were left unfound in
They both were in the horrendous holocaust trying to survive. Their methods of survival were much different Gerda, trying to survive by doing what the green police said hoping to avoid the consequences of hiding and breaking the law.Anne however decided to hide as soon as the green police started enforcing the laws that restricted Jewish rights. This theme of survival is shown throughout the entirety of the “Diary of Anne Frank” mainly because the play takes place in an annex.The theme of survival in “Gerda Weissmann Klein” is doing
Survival is being willing to do anything, defying all odds, to make it through a situation no matter how hopeless it seems. An example of survival in our own world today, is the people in the Philippines. Although the people in the Philippines didn’t experience a holocaust, they are still struggling to survive after a super typhoon ripped apart their lives. One of the most intense battles for survival in our history is the Holocaust, where Nazi Germany persecuted the European Jews. Two of the greatest survival stories during the Holocaust are the stories of Anne Frank and Gerda Weissman Klein. Both, Anne Frank and Gerda Weissman Klein’s horrific experiences during the Holocaust exemplify their outstanding courage to try and
In order to survive, people have been known to go to great lengths to which people will go in order to ordinarily do. Survival to me means that to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances. “The good lie” (the film), ZombieLand (the movie), and the movie Dorry, all three movies experience a difficult obstacle to face for survival.
For example, Anne and Margot are different in many ways. Anne has a diary and does not get along with anyone in the holocaust. Margot is a peacemaker and likes to make friends. They are alike in many ways also. They all have brown hair. Also, they are all in hiding with their parents.
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. He returned to Amsterdam, June 3rd, 1945. Historical events that happened during the Holocaust can be proven to have affected the annex member’s mood and relationships in the drama, “Anne Frank.”
Anne Frank was a 13 year old Jewish. She wanted more than given. She was the odd one in the bunch. She was madly in love with Peter and he was madly in love wither her. She loved her dad and hated her mom but, Finally, in the end they all die. They all get caught and go to concentration camps.
Survival is being able to endure and live through challenges that may wear you down (mentally or physically), and there are several ways of showing survival. “The Story of Keesh,” by Jack London, depicts survival through a harsh setting. “The Five People You Meet In Heaven,” by Mitch Albom, depicts survival through character development. In sum, the idea of survival is shown in literature through these two different ways.
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,
In general, the term ‘survive’ is defined as ‘continued living or existing’. So ‘survival’ would simply mean the act of continuing to live or exist. ‘Survival’ and the
