The Infection Of Anne Frank

“After several months of hard labor hauling heavy stones and grass mats, Anne and Margot were again transferred during the winter to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. Their mother was not allowed to go with them, and Edith Frank fell ill and died at Auschwitz shortly thereafter, on January 6, 1945” (Biography.com). Anne and her sister both got a disease that killed them both within a day of each other, Anne was 15 when she died, one million children died in the

nne Frank shows us that a positive attitude can help to persevere the hardships of life because there is reason to. Her sense of perspective allows her to realize that there is hope for a better future. Anne never lets go of her belief in the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic event in history when about six million Jews lost their lives to the Nazi. It was a very tragic and evil thing that the Nazi’s did. However, a Jewish girl, Anne Frank, said this: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Through everything Anne and her family went through, she always saw the good in things. After reading the play about her diary, I would have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons I am agreeing with Anne is the kind and selfless thing that she did for her family and the people in the Annex on Hanukkah. However, I can see why you might disagree with Anne and myself by Mr. Van Daan and his selfish and unkind actions.

Since the Nazi soldiers were male, they treated men and women prisoners in their camps with a significant amount of difference. Prisoners were forced to do pointless yet challenging labour for an indefinite time before they were sentenced to death. Upon arrival at the camps, Jews were divided into two different groups; one would group would live and the other would be sent to the gas chambers immediately. The labour intensive tasks proved to be quite brutal for women since they were not accustomed to such duties. Even pregnant women were not spared and many women miscarried because the hard labour had killed their unborn child. Those babies who were born were almost inevitably taken immediately and killed. There was no privacy in these camps and the women were continually being eyed by the lonely, watching soldiers. Some women were beaten or sexually harassed while in the camps and could do nothing to stop the horror. Their husbands, brothers and fathers were either dead or in a different part of the

Among the on million of the children killed was Anne Frank. Anne was a Jewish, teenage, girl who's family went into hiding. They stayed hidden for over two years in their Secret Annex. Over the course of these two years, she kept a dairy that has now been published. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl had been translated into over 60 languages and is read and studdied world-wide. She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began. People working the camps strped them of glasses, jewlery, shoes, and anything else that made them a individual. In addition to this the Nazi cut their hair and put them all in uniforms so tthey all looked the same. After anther month of

To the public eye, hospitals and nurses are there for them and their work environment seems like one that would promote growth in the work place, but the public doesn’t see what happens behind the curtain at these hospitals. Bullying can be in every company, but the public never really sees it happening just the employees that work there. The definition of bullying according to Terri Townsend, who wrote “Break the bullying cycle”, states that “[b]ullying is defined as repeated, offensive, abusive, intimidating, or insulting behaviors; abuse of power; or unfair sanctions that make recipients feel humiliated, vulnerable, or threatened, thus creating stress and undermining their self-confidence” (Townsend). This bullying greatly affects the employees and makes the work place environment suffer. By using Bruno Bettelheim’s essay “The Ignored Lesson of Anne Frank”, as a reference to compare why these employees put up with what happens to them at work. A very common everyday example where work place bullying/dehumanization happens would be the employees of McDonalds in Barbara Garson’s essay “McDonald’s – We Do It All for You”, which shows what these employees put up with on a daily basis. There is a huge difference in work places from that of a hospital to that of McDonald’s, but the question is why do these employees put up with the abuse? Hospital employees are also scared to stand up to their supervisors, because they don’t want to face the possible consequences that would

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.”

Norman Mailer once stated, "For what does it mean to be a hero? It requires you to be prepared to deal with forces larger than yourself." This quotation means that there are some things that certain people will not be able to face head on. It takes them a while to physically and mentally prepare themselves for what forces lie ahead. This quotation is valid because there are going to be certain things people just can't face or they aren't strong enough to face them. The film, The Fighting Sullivans and the film The Diary of Anne Frank prove the interpretation because both of the films are about a group of people who have to deal with forces that are bigger than themselves. The film The Diary of Anne Frank supports the critical lens about Norman Mailer's quote because they had to go into hiding, hiding from the Germans which in this case were the bigger force. The first

As today’s teenagers connect less and less to the past and its lessons, it is necessary to reflect on the commonalities that our generation has with past generations like Anne Frank’s because we are more alike than it seems. Anne Frank went through many of our present-day problems that teens today face every day.

Anne Frank, a dashing girl who survived partially of World War Two, was born in Frankfurt, Germany June 12, 1929. After the Nazis took power in 1933, the Franks moved to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, things took an outrageous turn for the worst. Since being Jews, the Frank family would have to go to an atrocious place, known as concentration camps. However, a law was passed and all Jews had to register themselves in. That registry was for the Nazis to find out where the Jews lived. The following spring, the Nazis yet had passed another law. The law stated that all Jewish people had to put a yellow star on their clothing that said “Jood” on it. Subsequently, Jewish families were being called up to go to transit camps. From the transit camps they would go to Concentration camps. Concurrently, the Frank Family went into hiding. The German invasion of the Nazis started on May 10, 1940. A year later in 1941, the Franks had started making tactics and preparations to go into hiding, before the Nazis would accordingly reach them. With the help of Otto Frank, Anne’s dad and his colleagues at the Opteka Company, Otto was able to prepare a hiding place for his family. Furthermore, the dreadful day had come. July, 1942, they had moved into the hiding place, called the Secret Annex. The Franks, Van Pels’, and other occupants of the hiding place hid in a secret attic apartment on 263 Prinsengracht Street. Before the Franks, and Van Pels’ got there, colleagues by the names of Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler , Jan Gies, and Miep Gies, had helped set up the hiding place by smuggling food, and gathering clothing.

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,

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.

In her barracks, there were 500 women and girls, which was not good for the conditions of the barracks. The conditions were unsanitary and made it unhealthy for all the girls. There were no showers and bedding. During the day, they worked as slave labor in a factory, they made bullets for the soldiers. Toward the end of the war, one of the children in her barracks was Anne Frank. When the typhus epidemic swept the barracks, Anne got it. 100 women and girls from her group died from this fever. What made it worst was that there was no food or medicine to cure them. Once Anne fell into a coma, Irma took her in her arms and held her while she slowly died. Once she got liberated, she went back to Holland and her family did not recognize

The reason why Anne Frank doesn't let them get very sad because she is too busy making people mad and if they are mad then it is very hard to be sad. In act 1 scene three she steals Peter’s shoes and then runs around with them trying to keep them from Peter. Peter gets very mad and then takes them back to go and feed his little fat cat. He at the time is very mad and not at all sad. Later that day she came out of Peter’s room and was dressed like him. In the narrator's lines it says something along the line of Peter being filled with fury and all the parents being slightly amused. She then throws his clothes down the stairs and when he walks to his room she trips him and makes him even more enraged. So she makes them all mad and so they aren't

Isolation is a very serious thing, this can cause a person to go insane or make someone very depressed because they are separated from everyone else. In Anne Frank they do have other people hiding with them, but that is not the same as being with a friend or walking down the street and encountering another human. The secret annex had the same people in it until Mr. Dussel came to hide with Anne and her family. The people in hiding were worried because that is another person to help, but they must have felt excited to see a new face, but then he stayed for a long time and just became another person instead of a new human who everyone was excited to see. Being isolated must be very scary also.
