Analysis Of Kristen Lewis's 'The Girl Who Lived Forever'

According, to the article “The Girl Who Lived Forever”, it proves to us that Anne, was a brave, kind, determined, hopeful young girl. When Anne's family was walking to, the Annex, Anne was scared, but she stayed strong and hopeful that everything would be okay. “Sweat rolled down Anne’s face as she struggled to keep up with her parents… Despite their terror, Anne and her family had to pretend that they were simply a family out for a stroll… If anyone discovered what they were doing, they could be arrested and killed.” (Lewis 6) This shows that Anne and her entire family was determined to make it even though they were very scared in the inside. Hoping to get, to the Annex safe. On August 1944, Dutch soldiers came and took her and her family

By blaming the Jews for the economic crisis that Germany was suffering through as well as their defeat in WW1, Hitler targeted the Jews as the country’s main enemy. According to him, the Jewish were directly responsible for Germany’s problems. Hitler hated the Jews leading up to the Holocaust because he believed that the Jewish financiers were responsible for sending the world into its first World War, causing the deaths over 100,000 Germans. According to the Nazis the “Aryan race” was the best and strongest race. Jews were of another inferior race. In fact so inferior that they were not considered to be “people” by the

Anti-semitism was one of the factors that lead to the horrific genocide, yet this genocide began with the spread of words and ideas from “Hitler’s” point of view. He started the spread of hate. On November 9, 1938, the Nazis destroyed synagogues and the shop windows of Jewish-owned stores throughout Germany and Austria. Kristallnacht or “The Night of Broken Glass” was a time of horror. Germans (Nazis) invaded Jewish communities and destroyed everything Jewish. The Nazis wanted to strike fear into the Jewish people, so they destroyed

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

The hatred towards Jews was nothing new in that time. Throughout history Jews have been prosecuted and blamed for many of the world's problems, and Germany was the same. The treaty of Versailles was incredibly harsh on Germany as it extinguished the nations power and reduced its presets on an international scale. The Germany people especially hated the treaty of Versailles and they needed someone to blame, so lo and behold the hatred of Jews began in Germany. The TOV was signed and approved by Jewish politicians so many German peopled blamed Jews for the TOV. During the 1930s, many Jews where doctors, lawyers and bankers which

Once, Adolf Hitler said, “It’s not the truth that matters, but victory.” Obviously, this quote shows that Hitler’s mindset was directed towards winning, and not his moral values. He made false accusations about the innocent Jews, killing over six-million of them. These false accusations were simple, repeated, and, eventually, people believed it. The rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party affected how people viewed the Jews at the time. To begin, events in Adolf Hitler’s life lead to his viewpoints and affiliations. Secondly, the creation of the Nazi Party was critical to the formation of Germany’s point of view. Lastly, Jewish people had been used as scapegoats for the loss of World War I and Germany’s economic crisis.

The Holocaust, a morbid atrocity that made people question humanity, was the cause of millions of deaths. One of those victims of this brutality was Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis along with her family. Although she was merely ordinary, Anne Frank kept a diary which became a significant, historical artifact in the modern world as it details her account of concealing her identity from the outside world. Her story, told in an innocent perspective, allows individuals to reflect the dreadful events of the Holocaust and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Even though she died along with millions of other victims from the Holocaust, her spirit still exists thanks to her articulately written words in her diary which is now considered one of the most famous works of literature. Anne Frank’s legacy still lives on today because her story provides a primary source of a dark period in history, insightful contemplation of humanity, and motivation for people to stand up against unjustified persecution.

Finally, many purely hated Jews because they were not Aryan. Germany was one of these countries. Hitler, the leader of Germany, has carried hate for the Jews since early childhood. Primarily, he blamed them for his mother’s death along with him not getting into his dream school, Vienna Art College. Also, they were blamed by Germany for defeat in WWI and as the cause for unemployment. However, mainly Jews were persecuted because of the way they looked. At the time, Hitler wanted a racially pure Germany. He believed that by adapting the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest, he would be able to create a stronger generation and kill those that are impure or disabled.

I have learned that after World War I, Europe experienced severe economic and political problems that intensified anti-Semitism almost everywhere. This added to the old charges that Jews were unpatriotic and greedy and there was the accusation that they were behind the spread of Communism. In Germany, Adolf Hitler, who had become a racial anti-Semite as a youth in his birth country of Austria, made attacks on the Jews from the beginning of his career in the Nazi party in postwar Munich. Such attacks became the mainstay of Nazi propaganda throughout his rise to power, but he did not always use them. Hitler and his followers used these attacks when it played for their position and not when it served against them.

The Diary of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl story, reveals the hardships the Jewish community faced during World War II, through the perspective of a teenage, Jewish girl named Anne Frank. World War II was a horrible time in Europe, because of the persecution from Adolph Hitler and party-group called the ‘Nazis’ who threatened and mistreated Jewish lives. During this time, many were being sent to “working camps”, which were actually death camps; living in fear, many went into hiding. Before going into hiding with her family, Anne received a diary for her birthday, which was used to describe her life and the problems she and others faced during the war.

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

“It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” (Anne Frank) Anne Frank was one of the many children who fell victim to the Holocaust during the World War II. Anne’s story is nothing short of a tragedy; she died at the early age of fifteen from Typhus while being held by the Nazi Regime, in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Before dying, Anne and her family went into hiding and lived secretly in her father's office building in the Netherlands. While living in the “Annex,” a secret hiding place, she developed many interests such as reading and writing. Anne is famous because she is one of the best-known victims of the Holocaust, her story has been shared with millions in a publication of her diary, and through her writing’s she introduces many people to the massacre and its horror.

In the 1930's the Wall Street crash occurred and the Jews having an image of being well educated and very wealthy and selfish due to all their large important businesses they ran in Germany. Hitler portrayed an image of the Jews to the Germans as though the reason why some Germans are out of jobs is because the Jews have stolen their jobs and are invading Germany being 'parasites' and taking what belongs to 'pure' hardworking German people. Therefore when the economic situation in Germany was very low and the German economy was suffering from the depression, the Jews were blamed for having all the German money and for Germans being very poor and starving during the time of the depression in the 1930's. Despite the fact the Jewish people were not particularly communist at all, due to Hitler being anti- communist, this was another act of using them as scapegoats. Anti - Semitism had been current in Europe for centuries, even since the days of 'Christ'.

Hitler’s hatred for Jews was a result of The Treaty of Versailles (treaty that ended World War 1) which drove Germany into poverty, famine, and lack ability to defend themselves and make commerce. He put the blame on the Jews due to their economic status. He felt that the German people were brought into this horrible situation due to the influence they had. He manipulated people to hate the Jews (Green). “Adolf Hitler believed the greatest enemy of all to be the Jew, who was for Hitler the incarnation of evil.

During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
