Recommended: Prejudice and discrimination of holocaust

(Frank 4). There were so many things that she couldn’t do just because she was a Jew. She had so many limitations on what she could experience and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. Then, when she was only thirteen, things got even worse. Anne’s father was sent a call-up from the S.S. one day, and it was quite a shock to her. All Anne could picture were “concentration camps and lonely cells”. Her mother and the Van Daans discussed when they should relocate to their hiding place (the Van Daans were to be going into hiding with the Franks). (Frank 13). It was necessary that her family go into hiding to avoid death because of their beliefs, so they and another family moved into a secret hiding place together. Anne was torn away from her friends and her home. She was lucky enough to have a hiding place, but others weren’t nearly as fortunate as her. “And Lies, is she still alive? What is she doing? Oh, God, protect her and bring her back to us. Lies, I see in you all the time what my

  • The Diary of Anne Frank Book Review

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.
