Another action of dehumanization was that the Jewish people were forced to wear yellow stars, Eliezer’s own town went through this where Eliezer remembers that before the Gestapo came his mother had been cleaning and then “Three days later, a new decree: every Jew had to wear the yellow star” (Wiesel 36). This action that the Gestapo forced onto the Jewish people made them practically targets, animals they killed for game. By the adorning of the yellow star, it was seen soon that

The first reason the Ten Boom family should have hidden the Jews is it was the right thing to do. The Nazi’s persecuting the Jews is wrong so someone has to help them. The Jews do not deserve to die just because their belief. They had plenty of room for them in their gigantic house. Their home was

Miep and Mr. Kraler did not share the information about how the Jews were disappearing from their houses because they did not want the Van Daans, Franks, or Mr. Dussel to freak out about how their friends and their friend’s families were disappearing. All of this ‘family’ are sitting around twenty-four by seven (including the time they sleep, which is how I got the number twenty-four), they could have been worrying about the events and how they could possibly be found and turned in. Mr. Kraler and Miep tried hard to keep the information about the Jews far away from the family. Another reason why they wanted to keep the information from the ‘family’ is because they did not want the family to give up and turn themselves in. They wanted the group

The Ten Boom house was searched, they could not find what they were looking for. They thought Jews were in the house, but the Jews were safely hidden behind a fake wall in Corrie’s bedroom. In this the "hiding place" were two men, two women and two members of the Dutch underground. Although the house remained under guard, the Resistance was able to liberate the refugees 47 hours later. The six people had managed to stay quiet in their cramped, dark hiding place for all that time, even though they had no water and very little food. The four Jews were taken to new "safe houses," and three survived the war. One of the underground workers was killed during the war years, but the other

In The Hiding Place, the Ten Boom family is exposed to the injustice and the suffering that every Jew is facing. The Ten Boom family is one that puts their faith, trust, and love in God. For this family, following God was the most important thing, for this reason, God gave this family such a passion for people, that this family is willing to break a few laws in an attempt to save lives. The Ten Boom family decide to in

The Franks moved to Amsterdam, after experiencing a lot of anti-Semitic sentiment in Germany. Soon, there was a Nazi decree that Jewish children had to attend different schools. However, life was still relatively normal for the Franks, even after the Germans invaded Holland. However, when restrictions were made against Jews, and some began being sent to concentration camps, Mr. Frank prepared a set of secret rooms in the back of one of their office buildings that they could hide in, if the worst happened. Mr. Frank was still considering other options though, and tried to apply for visas to the United States. Mr. Frank was looking for a way to emigrate, and to him, the US seemed like the only option. Mrs. Frank had brothers in the US who offered

The story starts in 1943, Denmark when the Nazi has occupied their country for the past three years. One day, a ten-year-old girl named, Annemarie walks home from school with her best Jewish friend named, Ellen.On the way home, two German soldiers stop them and question them why they are running. But Kirsti, a five-year-old sister of Aneemarie, confuses the moment by her rude behavior. When the girls arrive at home, Annemaries's mama, Mrs. Johansen and Mrs. Rosen, Ellen's mother, are very upset to hear about the conflict and warn the girls to be careful encountering German soldiers.

The building that the Franks hid in was a good hiding spot because it is a tall building with many stories. This helps to keep the hiders out of sight. Also, the building is ordinary so it doesn’t attract any attention. The building is not appealing in any way so no one would notice anything different happening than in any other building. Also, it is hard to see through the windows because they are very dim.

The article is about a British woman that lived in Germany, Christabel Bielenberg, was asked to hide a Jewish couple. She was told not to from her neighbor, who was a jew hider. He told her not to be apart of it. Disobeying him, she hid the jews for 1 or 2 nights. Christabel made the choice to hide the Jewish

The Jews who were hiding at the time needed to share everything with each other and they needed patience. When a dentist by the name of Mr. Dussel comes to join them in the Annex, Mr. Frank asks Anne “You don’t mind sharing your room with Mr. Dussel, do you, Anne?” (Goodrich & Hackett, 28). Anne has to share her room with a complete stranger. At this point in time, there are eight people living in the Annex and the space is very cramped now. Later on, Mr. Frank tells the others “About the noise.” (Goodrich & Hackett, 7). They have to be completely quiet “From eight in the morning until six in the evening.” (Goodrich & Hackett, 7). During this time period, workers work downstairs in the warehouse. The residents of the Annex can’t talk, walk, use the washroom or run water. Living in a cramped place with people of different habits is not easy. Mr. Van Daan smokes and Mrs. Van Daan says to him “It’s a filthy habit anyway.” (Goodrich & Hackett, 22). Since Mr. Van Daan likes to smoke, everybody else has to inhale the unpleasant smoke in a small place which can lead to sickness. During their time in hiding, people have to make sacrifices and they need patience until it is

By 1940, Otto Frank could no longer hold his own business. Margot gets a letter asking her to work in a labor camp. This forces the Frank family to go into hiding during the war. They decide to hide in a secret annex above a office. They have numerous helpers bring them food for the two years they are in hiding. Along with Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne, four other Jews go into hiding with them making the living very cramped and tough to live in.

Could you imagine spending two years in a dwelling, no bigger than a one bedroom apartment, scared to live every day? Well, life in the secret annex was scary. Every day the Frank family {Mr.Frank,Mrs.Frank,Anne} along with the Van Daan family {Mr.Van Daan,Mrs.Van Daan, peter} and Mr.Dussel were hiding in this dwelling to save their lives, and just because they were Jewish. This was happening during the Holocaust period, the most horrific period of time. Amsterdam, Holland is where it all began.

However, on February 28, 1944, the ten Boom family was betrayed and the Beje was raided. The six people in hiding were able to escape into the upstairs hiding space in time due to all of the practice drills, alarms and such to ensure their safety. However, the ten Boom family members were caught and taken in for interrogation by the Nazis. Corrie, Casper, Willem, Betsie, Nollie, and her husband Peter van Woerden were then imprisoned during this Gestapo raid on the Beje. The six family members were transferred from the Haarlem jail to the Scheveningen prison. From there, Corrie and Betsie are transported by train to the Vught Concentration Camp.
