Anne Frank: Hitler's Hatred Of Jews

During 1933 to 1944, Anne Frank's life was tortured because of Hitler’s Hatred of Jews. Until Hitler, everybody including Jews, were pretty much equal, but then it all changed. Adolf Hitler hated Jews and this was called anti-Semitism. A dictionary definition of anti-Semitism is hostility to or prejudice against Jews. Hitler’s group of followers were called the Nazis. The Nazis came to power less than four years after Anne Frank was born. The Nazis were also taking over many places. In January of 1933, Nazis took power in Germany where the Frank family was living.

Anne Frank would write about her life in hiding, her impressions of the other occupants of the secret annex, her feelings of loneliness, and her frustration over the lack of privacy.

When she wrote about boys, she would usually write about Peter Van Pels because he was the only other boy in the apartment that was her age. She started to have feelings toward him. Nobody knows if he ever liked Anne Frank back. Anne Frank would also always have fights with Edith Frank because she was always a daddy’s girl.
