Anne Frank
This is an excerpt from the paper...
When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, his anti-semitic beliefs were put into practice by his Nazi party, which passed anti-Jewish laws and built concentration camps where millions of Jews were killed or died from the harsh conditions (McCabe 18). Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, and her family were forced to hide, and Anne began a diary at age 13 which documented the sufferings of her family. It has become famous as The Diary of Anne Frank and has been made into movies, TV specials, and plays. The diary charts two years of her life from 1942 to 1944, while her family were hiding in Amsterdam from the Nazis. Anne Frank began to write in school and planned to become a writer, but when she heard on a radio broadcast from London of the importance of war diaries and letters for possible publication, she changed the style of her diaries, which she had begun when receiving a diary as a present on her 13th birthday (Anne). The diary begins just before the family retreated into their "Secret Annexe" and records her hopes, frustrations, disputes with her parents, and observations of her companions. The first version appeared in 1947, and was edited by her father, who removed some of the more personal sections and some family references. This paper describes Anne's short life according to her diary.The Short Life of Anne Frank (1929-1945) Anne Frank was born Anneliese Marie Frank in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929, the second daughter of Otto and Edith frank (Ann

In August 1944, the Gestapo was informed of the flat, and of 10,000 Jews who went into hiding, 5,000 were also betrayed (Anne). SS Officer Karl Joseph Silberbauer arrested the Frank and the Van Pels families (in the 1960s, Silberbauer was found by Simon Wiesenthal). The Franks were sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where Anne's mother died. Anne and her sister were transferred to the Dutch concentration camp, Westerbork, and from there to Bergen-Belsen, where they both died of typhus when Anne was just 15 years of age. Otto Frank survived, and his secretary, Miep Gies, who had searched the hiding place, found the diary and gave it to Otto after the war. It was published in 1947 as Het Achterhuis. Anne called her diary "Kitty" and wrote in it as if writing to a friend. In an early entry she wrote, "I hope that you will be a great support and comfort for me," but later, in hiding writes, "I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are still truly good at heart..." but goes on, "I simply can't built up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death."
