The novels Anne Frank and Night discuss how Hitler was a wicked dictator who degraded and killed thousands of Jews. Adolf Hitler is one of the most notorious dictators who not only ruled but also haunted the lives of thousands. He was without a doubt a very wicked and cursed spirit. The Holocaust was a mass murder across Europe, where the German Nazi party murdered mainly Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, and disabled people. Any race or human who was seen as weak was murdered.

It all began when Adolf Hitler became Germany’s dictator in 1933. Hitler praised the German population and seemed to ban all other competing races, specifically the Jewish population in Germany. This hatred toward the Jews led to extreme discrimination. Hitler’s main goal was to lead the Jewish race out of the country through the establishment of harsh laws against them (Barrett).

The jewish people tried to resist, but it is difficult with lack of weapons and resources. Hitler was trying to gain power and land from this genocide.

Sina Salemian Salemian 1 HS English 2;Period 3 Ms.Matthews January 10, 2014 Anne Frank During The Holocaust Anne Frank is a strong young girl that lived during the Holocaust in Amsterdam, Germany. She lived in a very bad time during the Holocaust, where she either had to hide or go to a concentration camp. Anne Frank is a normal girl that should be going to school and not be in hiding from the Nazis and should not have to take the sacrifices of having no friends, no ability to be free and to express her religion. I consider Anne a hero because of all the dedication to staying free and not having to be under a dictatorship.

The aftermath of the Holocaust left over six million Jews perished and the survivors in pain and anguish, each of their lives impacted forever by reliving the horrid events of this unspeakable tragedy every day. They needed to pick up the pieces to continue living by fleeing to different countries, assimilating into new cultures, and beginning new families to create happy memories.

Although these victims of the Holocaust may have similarities such as writing about their hardships and shutting their family out, their differences in dealing with conflict bring them far apart as well.
