Anne Frank And The Holocaust

The article, “The Girl Who Lived Forever”, by Kristen Lewis, describes the hardships of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, and her family, who like millions of other Jews, perished at the hands of the Nazis during WWII. Anne Frank lived during one of the most terrifying and horrific historical events the world has ever seen, the Holocaust. She and her family managed to survive for 2 long years in hiding, by living in a secret annex behind her father’s pectin factory. In August of 1944, the SS captured Anne and the others hiding in the annex. All but Otto Frank, Anne’s father, perished in the Nazi concentration camps. Though they lived through unspeakable and unimaginable challenges, Anne, her family and their friends showed a tremendous amount of courage trying to defy Hitler and his evil regime.

Frank 's memoir explores a lot about childhood till adolescent development. Out of the family relations Anne Frank had as well as her physical development in an extremely difficulty environment, one can effectively analyze her life in the context of several child development theorists and concepts (Frank, 1997, p. 45). Powerful as well as poignant diarisitic memoir, Anne Frank’s work during her time with her family hiding in a little attic when Amsterdam was under Nazi occupation in the 2nd World War is highly regarded globally. Although Anne 's diary is often considered as an important document of childhood growth as well as discovery of a teenage girl, it has had an enormous effect as a narrative which details the difficulties Jewish citizens faced under the Nazi Party amid the most horrible years of the 2nd World War. Her honest portrayal of time in hiding, placed against the background war, offers a straightforward view into the most tragic period of human history.

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 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.

Imagine spending two years of your life in a tiny house with 7 other people. Never going outside and having contact with almost no one outside (Annefrank.org). Anne Frank and her jewish family lived like this for two years hiding from the Nazi Party in World War 11. With them hid, Fritz Pfeffer, and Peter Van Pels, with his parents Auguste and Hermann Van Pels.

The Holocaust was one of the most acknowledged genocides due to hundreds of first hand accounts from Jews in the form of diaries, memoirs, and from the people themselves. Through their words and writings, people have observed the different experiences and reactions of the Jews who faced the abhorrent racial discriminations from Nazis and gentiles. Among these Jews were Anne Frank, Leon Leyson, Jeannine Burk, and Mirjam Geismar. Daily life for Jewish people during the Holocaust vari depending on mainly their ed, wealth and luck. Anne Frank's experience during the Holocaust generally differed from other Jews in hiding.

During the Holocaust, six million Jews were persecuted, and even more were oppressed by the Nazis. Throughout all of this suffering, Anne Frank still stood by her ideals she talked about and saw, such as hope, selflessness, and family. Anne had hope that she would soon return to a classroom someday, after the war is over. She also talked about selflessness, because of the people who risked their lives to keep her safe. Family also affected her because she had many people around her who acted like family, even if they were not consanguine. Throughout all these years, Anne still believed in these standards, even the toughest of times.

"'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning” (Frank 47). On June 12th, 1929, Annelies Marie Frank was born, in Frankfurt, Germany, her father was Otto Frank, who was a lieutenant in the German army in World War 1, who then he became a businessman in Germany and the Netherlands, and her mother was Edith Frank, Anne also had an older sister named Margot. Before everything had gone south the Franks had been just a normal Jewish family who loved their lives. At the age of four the Anne, and her family had moved to Amsterdam, because Adolf Hitler was invading Germany. Hitler was not a very nice person, he thought that the jews were a race, which they weren’t it was a religion, and

Early Life 1929 the 12th of June, a child is born, and that child is Annelies ‘‘Anne’’ Marie Frank. Anne Frank is a Jewish girl who grew up during WW2 and the Holocaust. Throughout her childhood, her and her father Otto, her mother Edith, and her older sister Margot, lived generally carefree lives in the German city, Frankfurt am Main. Growing up she was raised as a liberal Jew, and her and her family typically didn’t follow all customs and traditions of Judaism, the religion that Jewish people followed. When Anne was born, the family lived in an apartment like building called Marbachweg 307, where they rented out two floors. In 1931 when Anne was around the age of three, they moved into Ganghoferstrasse 24 in a modern, liberal area called Dichterviertel. When Hitler began his reign in 1933 the Frank family had moved out of fear of their lives, and were among the 30 000 Jews who had managed to escape Germany. When the family moved to Amsterdam, Anne and Margot were immediately enrolled in school. Margot was enrolled in public school, while Anne was enrolled in a Montessori school, a type of education focused mainly on observation of the child. During her years at her Montessori school Anne showed great aptitude for writing, and her friend Hanneli Goslar even recalls Anne writing a lot when they were younger, though she never let anyone read her writing and would shield it with her hands and refuse to tell anyone about it. In 1940 when Germany invaded the Netherlands, Otto

The Holocaust had various effects on millions of Jews. Anne Frank’s experience differed from other experiences Jewish children had. At the same time, however, there were common factors in each of their lives. From their way of living to emotional consequences, the Holocaust was a difficult situation for all of these children.

First of all, Anne Frank is only one of a million Jewish children who died during the slaughter and she represents the lost potential of all the children. However, she is one of the most recognized victims because of her diary. Only a small amount of children persecuted during the catastrophe wrote diaries that have survived. Her diary reflects a varied and complex view of a young girl who lived and died during the mass murder. Her diary is one of the best-written diaries authored by a teenager living and hiding during a catastrophe and details a

The holocaust was a tragedy for Jews everywhere and the symbols of violence and hate made 1933-1945 a horrible time. Even today children everywhere are taught the history of the holocaust in hopes of informing everyone sio that nothing similar ever happens. Innocent jewish lives were lost because of the holocaust the Nazi party. The jews were beaten, starved, worked, and gassed to death. The Franks, Van Pels, and Dussel were part part of this time and they managed to hide from the Nazi party successfully for two years with the help of trusted friends. The historical events happening at the time with the war reflected on the lives of the families in hiding.

The Holocaust has taken the lives of many Jews. One of the families that was effected by the Holocaust was the Frank family. On girl in particular, named Anne, used her orderliness to benefit her family and others in the Holocaust through writing in her journal.

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,

From the beginning to the end of the diary of Anne Frank, there are countless examples of how all people were divided between good and evil. In World War II, every country took sides, joining either those who supported Jews or those who tried to destroy them relentlessly. From the perspective of a young Jew in hiding, internal struggles between good and evil are also revealed, a reflection of the war outside.
