Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who had gone into hiding during World War 2, and the Holocaust. Anne and her family were able to hide for roughly two years in the Secret Annex. Throughout those years that they were hidden, Anne recorded most of what happened during that time. Then in 1944 they were found by the Green Police and taken to concentration camps. A year or two after they got to the concentration camps, everyone who lived in the Secret Annex had died, except for Otto Frank (Anne's father). He then later published Anne's diary. At the end of Anne's diary, she had stated, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." I believe that Anne had wrote this because one, she and her father were really close and he always taught her to find the good in people/things rather than point out their flaws. Two, Anne was extremely optimistic, she always kept in her mind that they would survive the war and all live together once they left. Furthermore, Anne was also very forgiving to anyone she …show more content…
Anne had stated on page 290, lines 637-641, "You know the way I'm going to think of it here? I'm going to think of it as a boarding house. A very peculiar summer boarding house." In the middle of the play, they were all talking about what they would do first once they left the Annex, and Anne couldn't even think of what to do first. She had so many different things that she could, but she couldn't think of just one to do first. Anne wanted to go to the movies and ride her bike, or just take a nice long hot bath at home. So, she always had many different thoughts running through her mind. Also, Anne wanted to dance with Peter, because she believed that when they got out that they would all forget how to dance the right way. Peter had declined her request, so Anne began to dance with her sister Margot as a way to make sure they would forget how to
Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who died during World War II. In The diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, she said that “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This shows that she is a caring and an understanding person that while this is happening, believe that all people are still good. Many of Anne’s Quotes show that she really believes that people are good on the inside. She really believes that everything in the world happens for a reason.
Anne Frank was a young girl who lived during the holocaust who lived during Hitler’s reign in Amsterdam. Only one problem: She was Jewish. In July of 1942, Margot Frank was called to report to a concentration camp. The Franks were forced into hiding in an annex behind Mr. Frank’s business. The Franks, along with the Van Pels and Mr. Pfeffer, hid in the annex for about two years. During her time in hiding, Anne confided in a diary. In her diary, she wrote “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne. In my opinion, everyone is good at heart; they just show it in different ways. People do what they think is right. Even though there is evil in the world, I believe that deep down, everyone is good at heart.
Anne Frank and her family were all Jewish during the Holocaust (1933-1945). The Franks and their friends, The Van Dans, hid in a secret annex together for two and a half years. They had two friends on the outside, that weren’t Jewish, that helped them. Their names were Miep Gies and Mr. Crawler. Miep also found Anne Frank’s diary after the Nazi’s had taken her and her family away. In the last part of her diary, she wrote “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” There are multiple reasons why I believe she says this. I believe that this is true because Anne had multiple well-rounded people around her. Her father, had continued to have Anne and Margot, Anne’s sister, to do their school work so that they would not be
Have you ever heard of the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a terrible time in history when Adolf Hitler was torturing many innocent Jews. He put them in concentration camps, but many tried to hid just like Anne Frank and her family. Anne Frank who was Jew, has a famous quote that says “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though throughout the “Diary of Anne Frank” we see that people are not always the best they could be, I agree with Anne and believe that everyone is still good at heart. One overall reason I chose that people are really good at heart are the acts of kindness Peter has throughout the book to Anne. However, I do know that there are two sides of an argument, I can see how some might
The quote that Anne states in her diary on July 1944 was, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart”, was a way for Anne to show what she was really made up of on the inside. Anne is really kind in her heart. Anne is also a very caring person. Anne tries to stay positive in every situation that she can. And that is why I think Anne thought of that quote while writing in her diary about daily events that happened before and while in the secret annex.
She wrote, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This means that she believed everyone could be good and not everyone had evil intentions.

She chose not to think in ways that would result in bitterness. It’s clear that Anne Frank was hopeful and uplifting when everything going on gave her a reason not to
Referring to page 294 of the Anne Frank play, Anne speaks, “You know we’re going to forget how to dance… When we get out we won’t remember a thing.” Ironically, Anne wanted to dance with Peter because she wanted to entertain herself, so she started chatting with him until Peter became annoyed with her. Her vision of the world was not in standard view. Anne was still cheerful and attempting to create laughter into the discussion. In addition, she shared her feelings in her diary, “I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that this cruelty shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.” On the other hand, Anne Frank explained that she sees the world gradually transforming into dislike or hatred and she hopes that the suffering will end and peace will come
Annelies Marie Frank was a Jewish teen born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. She wrote a diary and was a World War II Holocaust victim. The family moved to Amsterdam and later went into hiding at the Secret Annex for two years to flee the Nazi. Anne wrote about her experiences and wishes during that time. When the family was found and sent to concentration camps, she was only fifteen; there she died. The Diary Letters were excerpts from her diary published on June 25, 1947 by her father, Otto.

On that same day she wrote her first entry, addressed to Kitty, an imaginary friend: "I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support” During those two years in hiding, Anne wrote about her experiences daily to pass time. She explained the depth of despair into which she occasionally sunk during the day after confinement. She wrote on February 3, 1944 "I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die,” "The world will keep on turning without me, and I can't do anything to change events anyway." Because she wrote Frank kept her sanity and spirits. "When I write, I can shake off all my cares," she wrote on April 5, 1944. It is typically called in English The Diary of a Young Girl and has

For example, Mrs. Van Daan's self-centered nature is shown all time, she is concerned solely with her own interests and welfare. She always is an annoyance and everyone in the Secret Annex thinks of her as irritating and bothersome. Most of all are her rude unpleasant nature when she acts impolitely deliberately quite often.
