The Holocaust: The Story Of Anne Frank

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.

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. Hiding from the Nazis, the 8 always lived in faltering hope that the Allied Forces would come and save them from Hitler’s reign of terror. The historical events in The Diary of Anne Frank changed the behaviors of the characters as well as the relationships between characters.

Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers. The term Holocaust is derived from the Greek word holokauston, which means sacrifice by fire. It refers to the Nazi persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people and others considered inferior to "true" Germans.

Sit back, and imagine this: you’re sitting on a hard mattress. You can smell the smoke. The screams and tears of adults and children, just the same, fill the dirty air you breathe. Outside, acres upon acres of barbed wire and fortified walls. Platforms, cremation ovens, gallows, and gas chambers. The year is 1945, January 27th to be exact. This is a day that will be remembered for years to come. This is the day that the prisoners at camp Auschwitz being held by Nazi German soldiers were liberated.

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 is a Jewish girl who has to go into hiding during World War Two to escape from the Nazis … After more than two years in hiding they are discovered and deported to concentration camps … After her death Anne becomes world famous because of the diary she wrote while in hiding” (annefrank.org). Anne Frank was a young girl who had a bright future, but it was taken away from her by the Nazi’s and Holocaust. Before the Holocaust, Anne Frank was just the typical young girl. During the Holocaust, she had to adapt to a dangerous situation. Then, after her death, she has left a legacy that has impacted the hearts of many. Through Anne Frank’s early childhood years, the years during the Holocaust, and the years after her death she has left

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler won the heart of president Paul von Hindenburg who appointed him to chancellor of Germany, but little did he understand this decision would later cost Germany over 6 million deaths and the title of the largest genocide in the world. This genocide was directed toward those who were Jewish who were persecuted or forced into labor because of this. Among the Jews at this time, the Frank and Van Pels family along with a friend inhabited an annex that was attached to Otto Frank’s business. Inhabiting this annex in order to escape the grasp of the Nazi’s would ultimately affect each person in a different way. While hiding in the “Secret Annex” Anne Frank and the other Jews suffered through the poor conditions of the hiding spot and were affected physically,

The holocaust was very sad,during world war ll Adolf Hitler thought that Germany should be a racial infirmary. Also he did not think that disabled people deserve a life. He kicked out the jews and many more people that were not germane.

It is easy to say that the Holocaust ravaged Europe itself, but it is worth noting that without Anne’s diary, understanding what the Jews went through would be insurmountably hard. We take our freedom of religion for granted, but when we examine Anne’s diary, our world that we live in is full of obscenity, and despite the havoc, Anne still continues to hope for the end. Her diary left a legacy that gives us invaluable knowledge of what went wrong in our time on earth, to both Anne and history itself. Learning from our mistakes doesn’t fix our future; it only stops us from doing the same actions again, and in doing so, we can shape the world into what Anne envisions: “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart.”

For some, it seems that the Holocaust was just a killing of Jews, but for others it will be something they will never forget. The holocaust was a genocide in which six million Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi army in Germany. The Nazi’s belived that Germans were “racially superior” while the Jews deemed inferior and were a threat to the German community. Coming just two decades after the last World War the Second World War was the most widespread and deadliest war in history, involving multiple countries. The countries that were Allies were Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, Soviet Union (Russia), China, and USA. And the Axis power which were Germany, Italy, and Japan. From 1941 to 1945, Jews were murdered in

Anne Frank, a Jewish child at the time, faced constant persecution from the Nazis and had personal struggles similar to those of other Jewish children. This was an effect of World War Two since Adolf Hitler believed that the German race was superior, so during his world domination, his immoral notion created devastation among Jews. His wave of dictatorship affected each and every family, and although many of them faced death, mostly all faced sorrow. This world-wide crisis reveals the parallel between several Jewish families, such as the Franks, and how they were able to cope in their racist community and oppressive setting.

Anne Frank, one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust gained fame after the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl. She documents her life in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. She once said, “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.” Life in the concentration camps was worse for Jewish women than it was for men. They faced even more difficulty and were being treated more cruelly. During the Holocaust, the government frequently subjected women, both Jewish and non-Jewish, to brutal persecution that was sometimes unique to the gender of the victims. Women had to go to drastic measures to survive while incarcerated. Nazi’s ideology was called the “Final Solution”, this was the complete annihilation of all Jews. All of this made the Holocaust brutal for women.

Anne Frank impacted many people. She has a very unique personality. I think she inspired many people because she never gave up and she was always positive. Also, she always was happy and always wanted to play around because her life was in risk and can end anytime during the Holocaust.

Anne Frank’s diary is known all over the world. She was in hiding for 2 years, and she wrote in her diary. Writing was one of her hobbies. There is more than just one of Anne Frank’s writings. It is very impressive of being such a big symbol about the holocaust, writing about your life in hiding. But there are plenty of other pieces of work she has done. She has written many short stories, letters and poems of her own; during the time she was in hiding, and before that. Anne Frank has always loved to write. There are also parts taken out of her diary, different editions of books that had changed her diary. Anne Franks other writings are connected to language arts in many different ways. I think she is a real world-class artist writing a

Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany to a Jewish family on June 12, 1929 and died March 1945 in Bergen-Belsen. Her family consists of her mother Edith, her father Otto Frank and her sister named Margot who was often very ill.
