In the words of christian Holocaust witness and survivor, Corrie ten Boom, “Surely there is no more wretched sight than the human body unloved and uncared for.” Boom wasn’t a Jew, though she recognized the horrors of the Holocaust and the disgusting forces of the Nazi’s for every single life they took. In the early 1940’s socialist Germany led by President Adolf Hitler committed one of the largest and most known genocides in history, the Holocaust. Germany targeted mainly Jews, but also Gypsies and other minority groups who were experimented on and tortured to death. One of those victims was a teenage Jew whose diary has become one of the most well-known relics of that time. Anne Frank, captivated the events and emotions of the Holocaust in …show more content…
As the war trudged along and the Nazi’s became more brutal Anne was forced to change to fit her new lifestyle. Being stuck in an enclosed space everyday for two years taught her to be flexible to life and her situation. Anne described in her diary, “I used to bemoan the fact that I couldn’t draw at all, but now I am more than happy I can at least write.” (Frank 197). With nothing to do writing was a blessing, it allowed her to escape and it kept her occupied. Anne Frank herself recognized the change in her life and her personality. She recognized maturity in herself from before they went into hiding to her current position, a year and one-half in, “...I became a young woman and was treated more like a grownup. I started to think and write stories, and came to the conclusion that the others no longer had the right to throw me about…” (Frank 170). Anne began to think more deeply and eventually saw her life before the war as a distant life. She wrote in her diary, “The carefree schooldays are gone, never to return. I don’t even care for them anymore; I have outgrown them, I can’t just only enjoy myself as my serious side is always there.” (Frank 169). Anne also adapted to the living style, as being forced in a house with seven other people forces you to do. Anne has to get used to living a different life, “...[A]s there is no bath, we use a washtub and because there is hot water in the office (by which I always mean the whole lower floor) all seven of us take it in turns to make use of this great luxury.” (Frank 35) Anne’s acceptance to change allowed her to keep a healthy body and mind while in
Jews. He took it upon himself and Miep to give the two families in hiding
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 a teenage Jewish girl who went into hiding in her fathers offices in Amsterdam, The Netherlands when the Nazis called up her older sister, Margot (Anne ??). Just before the call up, Anne had started to write a “diary” which she continued to write when she went into hiding with her family. Throughout the book Anne writes that her worst nightmare is to be discovered (Anne ??). The Franks when into hiding in 1941 in the Annex of the Opekta offices and were arrested by the Nazis in ???. After such a long period of time in hiding there are many suspects for who betraye...
Anne Frank was my age, 15, when she was murdered by Nazis during World War II. I can’t even fathom what she must have gone through in the months before her death. Through her diary, one can understand the hardships of the Jewish people in Nazi Germany occupied countries
This would happen to be my report on what happened to Anne and her family while World War II was in action once it was converted to a play and a movie format. I'm sure they both these versions are much less graphic than Anne and her family saw it. I just hope Anne feels that they do her story justice. Both the play and film version of The Diary of Anne Frank focus on Anne Frank and her family's experiences in hiding. However, there are some similarities, including how Anne hands out presents to her family members and the other people in the Annex, and some differences, such as Anne and Peter's relationship and, Margot and Peter's relationship.
In the events that happened during the holocaust were very graphic and very displeasing to lots of families. One of those families were Anne Frank’s family. In the research paper you are going to see what it was like for Anne Frank’s family. The general information, when and where they were hiding, and how they all died during the holocaust, will all be stated in the paper.
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.
Anne's optimistic personality created the hope that she had for her future. Each day she could do nothing but just hope that one day everything will turn around and be better. In The Diary Of Anne Frank play, she expressed, "It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday..." Deep down inside, she had the hope that all of the disgusting things that Hitler alongside his army performed, would all vanish one day. She knew for the most part that the hatred may never go away, but imagining that it might, made things at least a bit better. Anne's situation was pure negativity, with almost nothing good about it. The only good thing that may have come out of it for her were the relationships that she created with everyone in hiding with her. From the Van Daans, to Miep, she bonded amazing friendships with each person involved. Aside from that, Anne's personality stuck out more than anyone's because of the hope that she had, in such a terrible situation.
Anne’s escaped the Nazis and anti-Semitism and went into hiding in the Annex. During her time in the Annex Anne grew in maturity. Very suddenly she was forced to undergo the change from a fairly free
The Holocaust is considered the largest genocide of our entire world, killing more than 600,000,000 Jewish people during the years of 1933-1945. The memories and history that have filled our lives that occurred during the Holocaust are constantly remembered around the world. Many populations today “think” that constant reminders allow for us to become informed and help diminish the hatred for other races still today. These scholars believe that by remembering the Holocaust, you are able to become knowledgeable and learn how to help prevent this from happening again. Since the Holocaust in a sense impacted the entire human race and history of the world, there are traces of the Holocaust all across our culture today. As I continue to remember the victims of this tragic time period I think of all the ways that our world remembers the Holocaust in today’s society. Through spreading the word, works of media and memorials across the world, I am continually reminded of the tragedy that occurred.
I told you why Anne had felt this way during her ordeal, and what this reveals about her character and her views about life. Anne is a strong and heroic young girl who has a heart for others and she is very compassionate towards others. Which is a great quality to have in that time period she was going through? No one could have done it better than Anne. She helped people look at the good in the situations she was never the one mention the negative things. You think how you would react to this situation. Would you be buoyant? Or would you be colorless in this and always look at the crummy never say anything positive. All quotes can be found in the collections book pages
The name “Anne Frank” is synonymous with hope, optimism, and belief in human good, even in times of relentless evil. Although she only lived to be fifteen, Anne is known and respected throughout the world for the humanistic light her work shed on an infamous time. Born June 12th, 1929, in Germany, she spent her early years in a middle-class Jewish-German family. However, the tranquility of the Frank family and 522,000 other German-Jews’ lives would be shattered by one of the most nefarious events in history, the Holocaust. Anne’s diary has become an influential resource in understanding historical and emotional aspects of the Holocaust.
Anne Frank was a 13-year-old Jewish girl who was thrown into one of the worst periods in the history of the world; the Holocaust. Though she went through awful things that many people will never experience, she always kept the faith that there was still some good in everyone. She once said, “Despite everything I still believe people are truly good at heart.” Her diary, which she kept while her family was in hiding from the Nazis, shows the triumph of her spirit over the evil in the world even through the pain of adolescence. The Franks and Van Dans were hiding and they suffered many hardships, mentally and physically. Many people in Anne’s situation would have become bitter and resentful, but Anne never would despair.
The Holocaust was a terrible time, where the Nazis were eliminating Jews due to a misunderstanding that was passed down from Adolf Hitler to the Germans. Hilter filled the minds of Germans with hatred against Jews. Books such as Maus and Anne Frank has been able to suppress the horror of the holocaust. Maus, by Art Spiegelman, is about Art Spiegelman’s father Vladek Spriegelman and his experiences enduring the holocaust. Anne Frank, by Ann Kramer is about Frank and her friends and family struggling to survive the holocaust, yet in the end only her dad, Otto Frank is the only survivor. The author of the book Anne...
The setting of The Diary of Anne Frank impacts the conflict in many ways. First of all, the Franks and the Van Daan’s are stressing over bringing in another person (PG: 565). In other words, this means that the Franks and the Van Daan’s would have to rearrange their arrangement. To clarify, the Franks and Van Daan’s had to make big arrangements which could cause big arguments which would then make noise and the people from below would have a chance of hearing them and this would reveal their hideout. Also, Mrs. Van Daan and Margot were arguing about adding Mr. Dussel into the Secret Annex (PG:566). In this case, Mrs. Van Daan did not agree with the decision that was made of them adding Mr. Dussel into hiding with them. As a result, Mrs. Van
I. Introduction The autobiography book, “The Diary of a Young Girl”, is a collection of Dutch diary entries authored by Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish girl who lived through the atrocities of the Anti-Semitist German Nazi Regime. Beginning on June 14, 1942, the diary, which Anne named “Kitty”, vividly depicts fear-filled stories of the Franks and other Jews in evading racial annihilation. Besides the stories of war, the world-renowned personal account narrates a teenage girl’s blossoming and her search for identity, love, and acceptance. The entries end abruptly on August 1, 1944, signifying the Gestapo’s capture of the Frank family and all the other residents of the Secret Annexe, but despite the impermanence of Anne’s life, her legacy endures in her 70-year-old memoir which immortalizes the horrors of the humanity-crushing war and violence in the minds of mankind and how it was perceived through the eyes of the juveniles.
