In the wortld there is almost always a middle school lesson that focuses on the Holocaust. There are many titles that surround the Holocaust. Many things relate to Hitler and World War II. Also a common method for learning about the Holocaust is studying Anne Frank.
Anne Frank was a young girl that was Jewish. She was normal and had an entertaining life. When Hitler came into power the Frank family was in Amsterdam. Anne's sister, Margot, got a call-up notice. That meant Margot had to register with the goverment where she lived. Otto Frank, their father, then took the family into hiding. They lived in a spot Anne called the secret annexe. Also there was another family that eventually lived with them, and an elderly man eventually came into the annexe as well. The Van Pelse family was the family living there. In their family, they had only one son. They were surviving with false ration cards that an ally of theirs, Miep, got them.
Later on, the Gustapo, police, had found them, and they were sent to a camp. It was a mild camp, a mere waypoint. There was food, schools, and alright barracks. They were then selected because of their criminal status to go on to Aushowitz, an execution camp. Men and Women were seperated whenever they first got to the camp. Then the elderly and children were divided out. Those people, the ones who couldn't work, were sent to the gad chambers to be killed.It wasn't long before Anne and Margot contacted Scabbies, a contagious disease that slowly eats away at the skin infected. Once it was apparent that they were sick, Anne and Margot were sent to Bergen-Belsen. Mrs. Frank was left alone at Aushowitz. She died soon after. To put it simply, she was strucken with grief. Bergen-Belsen also housed Anne's frien...

.... If people even looked Jewish they would be punished. Hitler believed in Arayans,what he considered to be a superior race. They had blonde hair and blue eyes. He even had plans to build strictly Arayan communities right by concentration camps. Bombs hit many cities at night and killed many people. Women would lose all their family to the war effort, leaving them alone. When the Allies got the upper hand Germany evacuated all women that didn't serve in the army and that lived in surrounding countries back to Germany. They left their homes to most likely never return again.
In retrospect, I think that we learn all these things for many reasons. One of which being to mourn the lives lost. Another being to learn from previous mistakes. Finally I think we do it to be grateful for the equality and freedom in our lives. That is why I think we learn about the Holocaust.
The Holocaust is a very important time in history. With many other time periods and events, the Holocaust was quite gruesome. Five to six millions Jews were killed, making it a mass genocide. The topic of teaching the Holocaust to middle school students is a controversy that has been argued for a longevity. Many think the subject should not be taught, but there is the big question: Why not? The Holocaust should be taught to middle school students, especially eighth graders, with the thought that it was very real, the other advantages learned, and the things the teachers need to know.
During the holocaust many woman showed fortitude. One in particular helped one of the most known woman today, Anne Frank. Miep Gies is a woman known for her modesty and courage acts during the holocaust. Miep Gies was born February 15, 1909 in Vienna, Austria. Her parent sent her to the Netherlands, she later married a man name Jan Gies. Miep got a job at Otto Frank’s Opekta Company. She worked as his secretary with three other employees: Johannes Kleiman, Bep Voskuijl, and Victor Kugler.

Almost everyone has heard the tragic story of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl that died in a concentration camp during World War II, but how did her brave, widely spread story come to an end. Anne Frank and her family lived in a “Secret Annex” in the building of her father’s, Otto Frank’s, work building. The Franks along with the van Pels and Fritz Pfeffer, lived in hiding for a little over two years together until they were found and arrested by the German Gestapo. The Gestapo otherwise known as Geheime Staatspolizei or Secret State Police arrested the group of Jewish people on August 4, 1944. They were taken to Westerbork(a transit camp), the three women were then sent to Auschwitz and later to Bergen-Belsen. Otto Frank, Anne’s father, was the only member from the “Secret Annex” to

Anne frank was a teenage girl , a victim caught up in hitler and his beliefs. “Anne was born on june 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany” (Herman 1). Anne and her family lived in germany for almost all of anne's life. During annes lifetime she has went to 2 schools one before jews and non jews were separated and one schools for jews because hitler didnt like jews so this was on the many things hitler did along with jews wearing a star on their clothes to show they are jews.

Anne Frank was in the secret annex for about two years. The Frank family entered the annex on July 6, 1942 and was raided on August 4, 1944. On July 5, 1942 Margot received an official summons to report to a nazi work camp. The very next day the Franks went into hiding in a secret attachment ( secret annex) behind Otto Frank’s jam factory. There were ten people in total living the annex. Anne frank’s life in the annex was not easy she had to keep silent all day. The residents could only use the w.c. (wash coslet) after all the workers left. To make it even worse, they had to divide food for about a single family into enough for ten people. The only one who survived the war and was Otto frank. The only way the people in the annex could get food and news was by Miep Gies and Kleiman. The residents of the annex did not step out of that room until August 4, 1944. On August 4, 1944 the secret annex was raid by German soldiers that were acting on a tip from a dutch informant. After the raid most of the people were shipped to Westbrook then onto Auschwitz. Most of the residents died in
Anne Frank was a Jewish girl that lived in Amsterdam during World War II. She was hiding in her father's warehouse. They lived there for two years with the Van Daan family; with one child. The Franks and Van Daans resided there for more than two years before they were captured and sent to concentration camps around Europe. One night a thief broke into the building. They were discovered. A few months went by before they were captured. The thief gave the police their location so he would not go to jail for the break in. All of the Frank and Van Daan family died except for Otto Frank, Anne's father. Anne left behind a diary that she used to keep track of their day to day experiences in the "Secret Annex". In The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, she said that "In
Anne Frank was a thirteen year old Jewish girl who was forced into hiding in 1942. Her family and another family, the Van Daans, hid in the back of her father, Otto Frank's office building in what they called the "Secret Annex" for the next two years, until they were discovered by a Nazi group called the Gestapo and arrested. It was during her time in the Secret Annex that Anne wrote in a diary that she had named Kitty, telling it of her experiences in the the annex, reported the position of the war and its most memorible events, and shared her personal feelings on the situation.

The Holocaust was a devastating genocide that affected the generations of an entire race of people simply for the reason of prejudice. It was definitely not an accident in history, six million Jews were killed. Because of the teachings of the Holocaust, the people who lost their lives will never be forgotten. Teaching the Holocaust helps people self reflect, which in turn can help guide people into making connections between history and modern times.
Anne Frank is the essential to understanding the horrors of the Holocaust. Anne’s full name is Annelies Marie Frank. She was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. In her family it’s her father Otto Frank, her mother Edith Frank, her older sister Margret Frank and herself the youngest in the family. Anne was a happy girl she had a lot of friends and always loved being the center of attention. Although Anne did get in trouble a lot unlike Margret who was shy and quiet like her mother. She loved to collect post cards and pictures of movie stars in her free time. (http://www.biography.com/people/anne-frank-9300892). In 1934 the Franks moved to Amsterdam because of the Nazis. \
There would be less prejudice if people were taught of the worst example of prejudice. Slaughters, such as those going on in Syria, would be harder to orchestrate if the public knew about the extent of those killed during World War Two. A Holocaust class, particularly of the teaching nature, rather than the testing nature would benefit humanity’s perception of each other and shape the policies of the future.
We can learn about the Holocaust by examining the day to day experiences of one victim. We can learn many things just by one victims experience, such as how they lived, what they could and couldn’t do, for example, they could not ride automobiles but could ride the ferries, they couldn’t go to the movies, go to school, play any school activities. Anne Frank’s diary entries show us about the way individuals respond in time of chaos or danger, for example when one of then was out buying some things they needed and the Nazi police was doing a rousting and was going to look for any Jews out, they were extremely worried. The reacted fast and hid before Nazis soldiers captured them and took them to concentration camp like most of the Jews were.
I chose Anne Frank for my famous historical figure. Her real name was Annelies Marie Frank. She is one of the most talked about Jewish victim from the holocaust. Anne Frank was born on June 12th 1929 in Frankfurt Germany and she died in March of 1945. She died at the age of 15 just a few weeks before the war ended. Her family moved to Amsterdam in the early 1930’s when the Nazis took over control. Anne Frank and seven other family and friends remained in hiding for two years in a very small annex which was behind her father’s business. Her family had to rely on several coworkers of a close friend that worked at the shop below for food, supplies, and moral support. She wrote in her dairy day and night. She would write everything from little to big things. One page in her diary specifically stated about the workers downstairs “They come upstairs every day and talk to the men about business and politics, to the woman about food and war time difficulties, and to the children about books and newspapers. They put on their most cheerful expressions, bring flowers and gifts for birthdays and holidays, and are always ready to
