...ANNE FRANK - A POSITIVE ATTITUDE HELPS WITH TRIALS People that have a positive attitude are the ones more likely than ever to endure a trial than anyone else who does not have a positive attitude. This fact was especially true in World War II because it helped many people in the concentration camps to endure. In fact, some who endured with a positive attitude became a Holocaust survivor. The theme of "The Diary of Anne Frank" reveals that from childhood to adulthood that having a positive attitude is relevant today when times get harder. Anne did not did not complain or become bitter about hiding or her situation in life. That fact was really commendable for Anne to have a positive attitude because she was living in the time period of the holocaust. Even though the Nazis were cruel, she still believed that there is good in people. In the Drama: "The Diary of Anne Frank", it says: "I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart." (Frank 1). This quote is a good example of maintaining a positive attitude because Anne...

...Emma Contreras March, 6, 2024 8M Holocaust Research Paper “Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” Yehuda Bauer, a Holocaust survivor, stated this inspirational quote. It is stating that no one should have to be a victim of any difficult situation, and no one should be the one doing it to someone. However, the worst of all is being a bystander. You should do something about it, not just watch it happen. This relates to the Holocaust. The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah in Hebrew, was a time when Jews were discriminated against. Germany was in serious financial trouble due to the effects of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. Germany needed somebody to blame for their...

...There are many ways the voices of the Holocaust were—and still are—spread throughout the world. There were not that many survivors left after the Holocaust, compared to how many people were in the camps. A few of these people have shared their story—through books. The books from the Holocaust survivors give people the best interpretation of the horrible pain the Jews went through. Authors use words to tell stories. Authors also use their words and stories to influence people. Sometimes the influence can be bad, such as Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Some people influence others in good ways. It may not be a huge influence, but it could still be used in a good way. The authors that wrote about their experience can make someone feel many different...

...The Holocaust was one of the most traumatic and horrific events of the 20th Century. It played a very significant part of not only World War II (WWII) but of Germany and Europe’s history. WWII lasted from 1939-1945. Throughout this time many innocent European people were killed because of their Jewish religion or their ancestor’s Jewish religion or culture. In the years of WWII, Germany was under Adolf Hitler’s total rule. Hitler and his Nazi party planned to kill all nine million European Jews. This mass scale genocide was referred to by the Nazi’s as “the final solution”. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany after The Great Depression when Europe and the rest of the world was in an economic crisis. Some elements of European society and in...

...One cannot fathom the difficulty a young girl would face growing up during a time of war and chaos. In the autobiographies Persepolis and The Dairy of a Young Girl, the reader is shown that both main characters Marjane Satrapi and Anne Frank lived similar yet different lives.

...ANNE FRANK “CHILD OF THE HOLOCAUST” Through the eyes of one adolescent girl, this book depicts the feelings of many Jewish people whose lives were forever changed by the Nazi Invasion in the 1940’s during World War II. The Holocaust was an atrocious time in Europe when approximately 6 million Jews were tortured, beaten and murdered as a result of their religion. During this era, the Jewish people were taken to concentration camps and were gassed or burnt to death. For many people, Anne Frank became a symbol of those six million Jewish men, women and especially the children who were murdered by the Nazis as these tragic events unfolded. It is almost impossible to comprehend this number, but the story of Anne Frank makes it possible to understand what the war meant for one of these victims. For my book report, I chose to focus on a life of a young girl named Anne Frank. Anne was a German Jewish girl whose family fled the Nazi Persecution of Jews in Germany in the 1930's, settling in what they hoped was the safety of Amsterdam, Holland. When the Nazis invaded Holland in 1940, the terror returned and the Franks went into hiding in a Secret Annex, hidden rooms at the back of Otto Frank's (father) business premises in Amsterdam. Most books about famous people only tell the reader about what the person was like as a child, to help explain what they were like as a grown up. But Anne’s diary is all about her childhood because she never had a chance to grow up. Very few...

...Miep could have chosen not to help Anne and her family but, she herself said, “I, myself, I’m just a very common person. I simply had no choice. I could foresee many, many sleepless nights and a life filled with regret if I would have refused to help the Franks. And this was not the kind of life I was looking for at all.” (Teri Schultz, 2010). Miep risked her life multiple times for Anne’s family during the two years they hid from the Nazis. Gies was a very special person, even when someone still unknown betrayed those she called the hiders (Teri Schultz,...

...heaps of educational history, striving to reach a multitude of humanist issues by taking its visitors on a journey through time. Upon arrival we were instructed to walk up a spiraling white staircase, the walls lined with black and white portraits of holocaust survivors, leading all the way up to the Anne Frank exhibit. We were prompted with a brief introductory film on the Frank family then directed downstairs into a dimly lit hallway. Immediately, I am drawn to the walls that’re constructed with clothing. As you go further into the exhibit, going deeper into Anne’s story, the clothes gradually become dull and drab, then shifting into prisoner uniforms, and ultimately ending with all black clothing. The clothing served as a representation of the drastic changes that occurred in response to the war. The exhibit is a voice and light guided tour, with the voice reading excerpts from Anne’s diary accompanying the several photographs, artifacts, and information posted along the walls. The voice leads us through a door (which was an exact replica of the bookcase that enclosed the Annex) into a small theatre which showed a film that captured Anne’s uniquely positive view on the world within her confined circumstances. After the Anne Frank exhibit we stumbled upon one of the newest exhibits which featured the diverse lives of Maya Angelou, Billy Crystal, and Carlos Santana. Returning back to the first floor, we then walked through an exhibit called Our World Today. The area is filled with...

...foundation of chaos, suffering and death.” (Anne Frank) This quote means that you should always have an open mind and should never judge before you know the facts. There are good people and bad people out there. You are the one who needs to make the choice. The first session I went to was called Writing Resistance: The Diary of Anne Frank and the Legacy of Her Work. Anne Frank was a girl who wants everyone to be peaceful like her. Unfortunately you always have the people that find a way to ruin everyone’s lives. For Anne Frank that guy was Adolf Hitler, an anti Semitic rebel. The second session I attended was Our Liberty id Bound Together. The “LRA” as known as the Lord’s Resistance Army which is a large armed movement of resisters against the Acholi people in central Uganda. This group is led by Joseph Kony. Kony considers himself a spirit medium from god. After going to these sessions it made me think about how good people have it that live in the United States compared to these other countries at war right now. Anne Frank was born on June 12th 1929. She was living in Frankfort Germany in a small Jewish community. Adolf Hitler was raised to power in the beginning of the 1930’s. He formed an organization called the Nazis’. The Natzi organization was aimed toward taking out the Jewish genocide. This was happening because Hitler persuaded the Nazis’ that they were purifying Germany. The disabled and homosexuals would also be killed off. The Frank family moved to Amsterdam the summer...
