Decent Essays

Anne Frank was a young woman in the times of the holocaust. For the time period was horrendous for a person her age. She had a sister named Margot and a mother and father. They were Jews in the time of Adolf Hitler's rule. That meant you would have to attend concentration camps and work for the Nazi’s or you would be killed. They knew you were a jew by your records like if you went to a specialist that would be on your record that you went somewhere.

Anne was born on June 12, 1929. she had a sister Margot, a mom and dad, Otto Frank and Edith Frank. The Frank family lived in Germany before the war started.

The way she got along with her family and friends was not the greatest the only person that did not mind her as much in the end was Peter they were as many people may call it boyfriend and girlfriend. Peter was able to make it through as far as he did because of Anne. When times were the worst she was able to make it through and see past it and put a smile
