The Immortalist: The Diary Of Anne Frank

The Holocaust was a horrible time in our history. This was a time when over 6 million Jews were murdered in concentration camps (“Merriam-Webster”) and by German soldiers. This happened because of a man named Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was a man who was majorly opposed to jews, to the point of killing them. Very little Jews survived. But the few that did told their story so that we may know more about it today. The Holocaust lasted from 1933 to 1945 (“How Long”). It ended when the German forces surrendered to the allies. Anne Frank was one Jew who suffered because of Hitler.

The Diary of Anne Frank is about exerts from Anne franks diary who is a 13 year old girl who would write in her diary on a daily bases about her life.

The article, “The Girl Who Lived Forever”, by Kristen Lewis, describes the hardships of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, and her family, who like millions of other Jews, perished at the hands of the Nazis during WWII. Anne Frank lived during one of the most terrifying and horrific historical events the world has ever seen, the Holocaust. She and her family managed to survive for 2 long years in hiding, by living in a secret annex behind her father’s pectin factory. In August of 1944, the SS captured Anne and the others hiding in the annex. All but Otto Frank, Anne’s father, perished in the Nazi concentration camps. Though they lived through unspeakable and unimaginable challenges, Anne, her family and their friends showed a tremendous amount of courage trying to defy Hitler and his evil regime.

In conclusion, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis brought a lot of damage to the Jewish and others. People were forced to hide in order to keep their lives. While they were hiding they could not do a single thing that would put them at risk of being found. “The Diary of Anne Frank” puts all of this into perspective. Anne kept a diary with her while experiencing the struggles of this war. Her diary helped people to feel what she was feeling during that time.

Only Otto having survived the war, when he returned to Amsterdam at the beginning of July, he came to learn about the death of his family. Soon after, one of their helpers, Miep Gies handed him Anne’s papers and diary which she had saved immediately after the arrests of the families living in

The four of them packet their things and pulled on layers of cloths in order to take them with them and began their walk to the annex on July 9th. The secret annex was above her father warehouse and house the Franks and four other Jews. The other four Jew included Herman and Auguste Van Pels and their son Peter, and later in November Fritz Pefeffer. Between the eight people with differing personalities and opinions the tensions in the annex grew faster than expected, though no yelling could ensue for the fear of being caught. Anne wrote all about the annex in her diary and hoped to have her diary published as a book when she could come out of

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.”

Anne Frank’s diary tells us she had to grow up and learn about puberty and independence in a small set of rooms while hiding from the Nazi’s. Sadly, she and her family are found by the enemy and then she dies inside a death camp.

There were many Jews to suffer and die during World War II, under the rule of Adolf Hitler. Although all the victims of the Holocaust matter, there was one in particular that many people still read and learn about everyday. This “one” was a young girl named Anne Frank. She and her family suffered along with many others. Some even lived to tell about it. Although she did not live, she still lives on through her diary.

The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and murder of six million jews by the Nazi regime and the collaborators. The Franks were one of the many families who were affected by this genocide. Anne Frank was a Jewish citizen in the Netherlands during the Holocaust. Anne Frank had a lively, energetic, and rather extroverted personality, even though she was hiding from the Nazis in a small house. She showed great aptitude about reading and writing, although she did not allow others to see what she was writing about. Even through difficult times, Anne believed she would survive the war, having faith in herself, hoping to fulfill her dreams, and still trying to make the best of their solution when experiencing depression.

In her diary, she explained that the apartment that she was hiding in was a “secret annex of an old warehouse”. Four of Otto frank’s colleagues helped prepared the secret annex and even smuggled food and clothing at risk of their own lives. Anne and her family didn’t know that they might be staying in the annex for more then two years. They didn’t have freedom as for speaking loud or going outside . During the day, the curtains weren’t allowed to be open, otherwise the neighbors would be able to see them.

In the autobiography The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank, was written during a chaotic time period in history. Anne, being a Jewish girl of a family of four, tells through diary entries how it was like for her during WWII. She lived in Holland, which put her along with her family at a risk of being taken to the concentration camps. Being faced with this problem caused her family to go to the extend of hiding for years in order to survive. They all had to adapt to a new way of living, one where they had no contact with the rest of civilization. Although this was a completely new lifestyle, it was worth it since the outcome will be more years of being alive.

Anne’s father, Otto, was the only survivor of the eight Jews that were arrested (history.com Staff). Since Otto was the only survivor, he wanted people to hear Anne’s story, so he managed to get Anne’s diary published into a book in 1947 for the first time. Anne’s diary went from June 12, 1942 until August 1, 1944, just two days before they had all been arrested (David J. Hogan pg.548). In her diary, Anne wrote all her entries to her imaginary friend named Kitty (biography.com editors). After having heard a radio broadcast from an exiled official to keep all records, journals, and letters about Hitler’s reign, Anne was inspired to edit her diary and turn it into a book (history.com Staff). Not only did Anne write a diary, but she also filled a notebook with quotes, original stories, and even started writing a novel about living in the Annex. Once Anne’s diary was published, Otto was proud that he helped his daughter’s dream come true and have her diary published in 67 languages around the world (biography.com editors). Anne’s book had different influences on everyone who had read it. Her book was rejected by the U.S. at first for being to ‘’depressive’’ but it was eventually published in 1952, and is now being used as a teaching tool in many schools and is a required book to read in many schools (history.com Staff). In 1960, the building where both families

At the time of the holocaust the Frank family and several others spent over two years in hiding to save themselves from the slow death of a concentration camp. According to the play written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, eight people crowded into a secret annex above an office building. Full of nothing but hope that things will soon get better. Relationships developed and burned, but the one thing they all had in common was their desire for peace and love in Amsterdam, Germany. As time passed many historical events that occurred outside the secret annex influenced the moods and relationships of the characters.

In the cold, depressing years of World War II, a diary was written by a young girl named Anne Frank. In these years, Anne endured difficult circumstances and was forced to face almost complete isolation other than her family. Even though she went through this, she kept a positive outlook and maintained her diary, that would soon become inspirational. The diary is an incredible story of bravery and would enhance the knowledge of the terrible years of the Holocaust.
