Annelies Marie Frank born June 12, 1929 in Germany is known though the world for her diary, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. A Young Jewish girl who wrote about how her family was hiding for two years during the German occupation of the Netherlands which was ended published by her father.…
The holocaust was a time of pain, and misery; of loss, and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes, though, when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide, we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two, to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale, in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced. At Stratford, "The Diary of Anne Frank," written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket, which is adapted by Wendy Kesselman permitted me to do just that. This compelling play confines the action of the story to a concealed storage attic, in which the claustrophobic realities…
It was evident that Anne Frank was a young girl who was in hiding due to war and hoping to make it out.…
People faced with cruelty still find a way to be kind. The Nazi’s targeted people who were different. September 15 1935 Jewish people were striped from freedom and from there lives due to the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler thought the Jews were the reason that Germany lost WWII, so he gave orders to build death camps and ghettos. The jews had it worse than any other criminals because only jews were sent to the death camps. The presence of intolerance can inspire people to treat others with kindness as seen in the Diary of Anne Frank.…
In Anne's diary she is showing signs of her maturing in relationship with her mother. At first she blamed her mom for everything and didn't accept her. Anne show signs of maturity by saying, ‘’ Anne, is it really you who mentioned hate? Oh, Anne, how could you!’’…
Anne Frank is someone who influenced history long after she was gone, because of her courage, bravery, and willpower that got here and her family through the tough times up until they were seized. Though Anne died at age fifteen in one of the camps, we still see her today as such an accepting human being throughout her life. In one of her very last entries Anne stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This entry proves her beliefs beyond measure that all humans are good people and mean for the best in their own lives. This statement alone expresses everything people need to know about Anne and who she was as a person this shows a maturity level way beyond her years as a young girl of only thirteen…
“It seems life is at a standstill” (Diary of Anne Frank, pg 749). This seems to capture the people in annex’s situation perfectly. The slow decent into madness clawing at each other and arguing while waiting for some news to arrive. They all feel trapped in the walls of the annex unable to leave. Though happiness shines upon them at times, it never lasts. They can only cling to what memories they have, and wait for the future to arrive.…
The Holocaust was a very tragic and horrifying event in history that changed human minds forever. Millions of Jews died in this event, because of mass murders and death camps. Adolf Hitler was a very cruel, but persuasive leader of Germany. He turned many people against the Jewish by blaming the loss of World War I on them. Adolf started to send Jews to concentration and death camps, so Jews hid. Many Jews went into hiding, such as, Jeannine Burk. During her childhood she hid for two years from the Nazi. However, she hid by herself in a stranger’s house and didn’t receive attention and love. Jeannine had to stay away from her family, and the only friends she had were imaginary. She could only go to the backyard, and when the Nazi had marches…
The Diary of Anne Frank shows many stereotypes, such as Jews, adults, parents, and teenagers. Stereotypes are a standardized mental picture or belief held in common by members of a group. The Diary of Anne Frank identifies that the stereotype of a teenafer is moody, argumentative, and self-absorbed. The three teenagers, Anne, Margot, and Peter commonly show these traits in the play, The Diary of Anne Frank.…
In the beginning of the play, Anne was a very immature thirteen year old girl. She always tried to have fun out of every situation. She was very fun- loving and playful. For example, Anne said, “ Good evening everyone. Forgive me if I don’t stay. I have a friend waiting for me in there. My friend Tom. Tom Cat. Some people say we look alike. But Tom has the most beautiful whiskers and I only have a little fuzz. I am hoping in time…” This shows that Anne was very immature and liked to play around. It didn’t appear she realized the seriousness of the holocaust at that time.…
She talked about trying to understand the anne of a year ago and excuse her, because her conscience isn't clear as long. Then talked about how she used to be furies with mummy and how she still is sometimes. “It is true that i don't understand her, and she doesn't understand me either”. Anne was nervous and irritable because…
Bodies lying throughout the street. Such scenes depict war that destroys lives. In The Diary of Anne Frank, World War II destroyed lives of people on the streets, but also it destroyed lives of others who they tried to hide from such atrocities. For the people hiding in the annex in Amsterdam, the moods and the relationships of the families and friends were greatly impacted by the horrors of war.…
In the Fall of 1933, The netherlands had been invaded by the Nazis and Hitler began putting anti jewish laws into order. Anne Franks family hid at a place behind her father's work place which they stayed at for many hard months. In the diary of Anne Frank, we uncover the very struggles that she had to go through and face during the time of having to hide day to day from people who wanted to kill her because she had different beliefs on the article (https://newsela.com/articles/bio-author-anne-frank/id/19471/) We see many glimpses of how Anne Frank enjoyed her life and was scared that just because she is a jew…
The Holocaust was an exceedingly tragic event that took the lives of over six million innocent people, and the concentration camps were an integral factor that depicted Hitler’s determination to wipe out an entire race. Unfortunately, the play fails to depict the harsh reality of concentration camps. Anne was seized by the Nazi police and her story was left untold; Because of this, there is nothing that would give the viewers an understanding of life in concentration camps. “… as she hears the sound of the car, its brakes squealing as it comes to a sudden stop… the others stand rigid, waiting, terrified… there is a sound of violent pounding on the door below.” (Diary, pg 169) This describes the seconds before the Nazi Police entered their home, and seized Anne and her family. If the play were to be put on production we would be failing our goal of an appropriate Holocaust remembrance day. The Diary of Anne Frank is only a peek into one girl’s life during the time. We should focus on a story that encompasses true strength the Jews had to have in order to endure the barbarity they…
