Anne Frank; the story of a normal young girl, ruined by a war which she was helpless towards. To me, this story is an example of a regular teenage girl who was living her life to its limit while being trapped inside a bunker by forces bigger than her. Her story begins on the 12th of June, 1942; this is her 13th birthday, the day she receives her diary as a gift. Her diary contains the full story of how she and her family went into hiding, were joined by other people. Her diary contains her deepest secrets and most vivid emotions, all of which have affected our world today.

Her sister Margot received call-up orders from the German Army. To escape this, her family goes into hiding in Anne’s father’s attic of his office building, which they name the ‘Secret Annexe’. There they will hide for the next 2 years until they get found by the Nazis. They are eventually joined by the Van Daan family and Albert Dussel, a dentist. The Van

Around this time, March 14th, they have been living there for two years. Anne reflects on her growth, and how she has become more mature and began to feel more emotionally independent. She notes how life in the Annexe is boring her. Her relationship with Peter is no longer as close. Previously, the helpers who provided them with food were arrested, and Mr. Voskuijl was diagnosed with cancer, with little time left to live. Things seemed to be going drastically downhill. Near the end of July, 1944, Anne writes about an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Anne writes about how she hopes that this proves that the Germans want the war to end too. The last sentence that she writes in her diary is how she thinks she could become the person she wanted to be, “if only there were no other people in the world.” Her diary ends abruptly, although other events were recorded
There are many stories, diaries and books from the time of The Holocaust but arguably the most famous of them all is the story of Anne Frank.

Anne Frank was born in 1929 just at the beginning of turmoil in German society. At the beginning of her life, Frank’s family was a relatively normal German-Jewish family living just outside of Frankfurt. Her father, Otto Frank, was a business owner and her sister, Margot Frank, was three years older than her. They moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1933 because of the threat to their lives because of their Jewish Heritage.

Have you ever read the play “The Diary of Anne Frank?” She wrote in a book during the Holocaust. She hid in a place called the “Secret Annex” Mr. Kraler was the man who let the Franks and Van Daans stay in his attic. The theme was “Which characters contribute to them theme people are good at heart.” In the play “ The diary of Anne Frank”, the theme people are good at heart is developed through the characters Miep Gies, Mr.Kraler, and Anne Frank.
Imagine what it would have been like to be cooped up in an attic during the Holocaust,with only very little space eight people in one little attic. For the Franks and the Van Danns it was eight people and a cat for most the time. With no one to talk to they have to keep everything in, unless they write it. In “The Diary of Anne Frank” the two families live this way. Anne and Peter were two of the characters who experienced this. Anne is a teenage girl who has a sister and lives during the Holocaust. Anne also had a lot of friends so she was popular; she loved to read and write in her journal. She was very loud and obnoxious. In Act one Scene two ,Peter says “I was always by myself, while you were in a big crowd of people.” This shows that Anne was very popular and is used to people; while Peter was not used to as much attention and people. Then in Act one Scene three, Mr.Van Dann says, “ Why can’t you be more like your sister Margot?” This proves that the Van Danns like Margot more than they like Anne ; it also proves they think Anne is obnoxious.

“I Want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people even those who I’ve never met, I want to go on living even after my death!” (from a Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank).

Many historical stories and poems led us to where we are today; although history appears to repeat itself, it speaks to us in several different ways. One of many examples of history speaking to us is the “good” and the “evil” in all people portrayed in the dramatic representation in The Diary of Anne Frank, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The worldly impacts of this drama have shown the reality of many home lives today, for example: siblings’ rivalry, marriage problems, and relationships between mothers, fathers, and children. There are also many discrimination problems today, just like past events. Many historical events have led us to where we are today, even though history tends to repeat itself.
In June 1942 Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday. She began to write down her thoughts and experiences in the form of letters to an imaginary friend. One month later the Franks went into hiding in the office building. For the next two years the Frank family shared cramped quarters with four other Jewish people. In the ending the people she lived with were the ones that published her diary.
II. Contrary to the light and amusing tone of the first few entries of Anne Frank, her revelation of her family background uncovers sneak-peeks to the Jewish life in the Second World War, including the restrictive laws implemented by the Nazis against the particular group of people. Prior to Anne’s first diary entry, the Franks, namely Otto, Edith, and their children, Anne and Margot, had emigrated to Holland from Germany to escape Hitler’s propaganda of Anti-Semitism. However, soon, they realized that they had not been liberated yet from the claws of discrimination when Anne’s elder sister, Margot, was summoned by the S.S., the elite Nazi guards, for a call-up, implying that she would be sent to a concentration camp.
On June 12, 1929, at 7:30 AM, a baby girl was born in Frankfort, Germany. No one realized that this infant, who was Jewish, was destined to become one of the worlds most famous victims of World War II. Her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank and B.M. Mooyaart, was actually the real diary of Anne Frank. Anne was a girl who lived with her family during the time while the Nazis took power over Germany. Because they were Jewish, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne Frank immigrated to Holland in 1933. Hitler invaded Holland on May 10, 1940, a month before Anne?s eleventh birthday. In July 1942, Anne's family went into hiding in the Prinsengracht building. Anne and her family called it the 'Secret Annex'. Life there was not easy at all. They had to wake up at 6:45 every morning. Nobody could go outside, nor turn on lights at night. Anne mostly spent her time reading books, writing stories, and of course, making daily entries in her diary. She only kept her diary while hiding from the Nazis. This diary told the story of the excitement and horror in this young girl's life during the Holocaust. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reveals the life of a young innocent girl who is forced into hiding from the Nazis because of her religion, Judaism. This book is very informing and enlightening. It introduces a time period of discrimination, unfair judgment, and power-crazed individuals, and with this, it shows the effect on the defenseless.
