Historical Quotes In Anne Frank

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.

The fact Anne Frank is referred to as "a symbol for the lost promise of the children who died in the Holocaust" contributes to the development of ideas in the text. The meaning of "a symbol for the lost promise of the children who died in the Holocaust" is that Anne Frank is an example of how kids who died in the Holocaust didn't reach their full potential. One way that quote helps contribute to the development of ideas is that the article states, "Selected for labor due to their youth, Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Celle, in northern Germany in late October 1944. " I decided to use this quote as evidence because this quote shows that younger people didn't have much freedom. After

In “The Diary of Anne Frank” there are many different objects and people that are symbolic to something abstract. One example of symbolism in Anne’s diary is when her and Peter have a discussion about the star of David. In the play and throughout World War II the star of David symbolizes a deep hatred. It represents a deep hatred because during the time of WWII with the Jews getting murdered and sent to concentration camps they were forced to wear garments with the star sewn onto them. Anne records, “You can’t throw…? Something they branded you with…? That they made you wear so they could spit on you” (Pg 709 P.22). This quote justifies that while wearing the star of David the Jews won’t receive respect and they will be treated with rude and

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.

How would you feel if you were locked in an attic, for two years? Most likely you would not be as happy as this young girl. I do not think anyone could have the best attitude when faced with this situation. However, Anne Frank did. One of her most famous quotes was "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." Anne didn't know what was going to happen when she went into hiding, but she was not upset. In fact, she was still happy and made the best of her situation. What she did to entertain herself might have annoyed the others in the annex, but she did not care what the others thought of her. This is what makes Anne such an amazing person. Everybody in the secret hiding spot, which was an attic above her father's

The Holocaust was a very tragic time in history when millions of jews lost their lives just because of their religion. However this one girl named Anne Frank who was 13 years old when she had to go into hiding, thought and said this “In spite of everything,I still believe people are really good at heart”. Even through all the ruff paths and arguments Anne and her family went through, she still sees the good in all people.

One of the main reasons I agree with Anne’s quote was due to the actions by Anne’s father, Mr.Frank.

The holocaust, beginning in January 1933 until May 1945, was the prosecution of over six million Jews in Germany. The Nazi's, who came into power in 1933, truly believed that the Germans were 'racially superior', and that the Jews were a threat to their community. By the end of the holocaust, the Nazi's had killed almost two out of every three jews as part of their 'final solution'. Millions of Jews went into hiding during these disastrous years, in particular the Frank family. Annelies Frank, along with her family have one of the most terrifying yet truly incredible stories from the holocaust event.

Many people were hurt by Adolf Hitler's plans and one thing he achieved was killing six million Jewish people including children. Anne Frank and her family were one of them. They lived in a secret and tiny annex where Otto used to work. They started off just going to stay there for a few months till the Allied Forces could invade Holland but that didn’t work out. In the drama wrote by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett eight people crowded into annex for 2 long years not being able to go outside. Many historical events were impacted in the drama Anne Frank. Even though these problems took place outside of the secret annex it changed the mood and relationships of the character.

This literary work truly shows how Anne Frank was a martyr of racism and an insightful chronicler of her time period and place. The work also shows the typical adolescence of Anne Frank and her constant arguments with her mother in particular. It also deals with the day to day hiding she and her family went through. The only problem with the book is that the fact that Anne Frank rewrote her diary about two months before she was captured because she wanted her journal to be published after the war and she wanted to peruse a career in journalism. Therefore it is hard to tell what existed in her original copy and how much did she add afterwards.

Her diary is one of the world’s most widely read books and there has been many plays and films written on the basis of her story.
