The life of Anne Frank { By: Allie Clark Hello, I would like to introduce you to Anne Frank, she is 13. Anne was German & Jewish. Anne was fun, wild, loud, smart, and very friendly! Anne Got her diary on 13th birthday in 1942, this was a present from her parents. Anne Frank lived her last few years of her life during the time period of something called the Holocaust. Her family hid in an Annex behind a office building for about two years. After those several months her family and her were found, and shipped off to concentration camps, where only a couple of them survived. Anne was not one of the survivors. Anne died of typhus in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in late February or early March of 1945. Anne wrote in her diary for about two years while they were in hiding because she felt that she had no one to fully trust with her secrets. Family. This is Anne’s Family, this photo was taken before they had gone into hiding. From left to right: Margot Frank, Otto Frank, Anne Frank, and Edith Frank Family. Anne had 3 other family members. Her mother, her father, and her older sister. Anne's older sister, was pretty, smart, emotional, and everyone’s favorite. Anne and her older sister did not form a very close bond with each other throughout the years. Margot Frank, died of typhus in the concentration camp a few days before Anne did. Anne's father, Otto Frank, was practical and kind. Anne was very close in relationship with her father. Anne’s father was the only one in the frank family that survived. Anne’s mother, Edith Frank, Anne and her mother felt little closeness or sympathy for each other, and the two have a very disorderly relationship. Anne’s mother died in AuschwitzBirkenau concentration camp from hunger and exhaustion. Accomplishments Anne and her family were Jewish so in 1942 they had to hide out in an annex with another family to escape the Nazi’s. In 1943 they were found in the annex. Anne survived about a year in a concentration camp until she had died. I think one big accomplishment of Anne was her personality and the fact that she was extremely brave and optimistic though everything she went through only being 13. Another big accomplishment of Anne would be her dairy. Miep Gies was the one to find and keep Anne’s diary while they were sent off to the concentration camps. When Anne’s father was returned after being sent to the camps, he had gotten the diary from Miep and published it for the world to read. It is now one of the most read books in the world. Hmm I never knew… That Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. That her father was the only person in the annex that survived the holocaust. That her father was a lieutenant in the German Army during World War I. That she didn’t live to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. That her diary is the tenth most read book in the world. That her diary has now been published in 80 different languages. That her full name was Annelies Marie Frank. That her diary was named Kitty Oooh, I like the way she said that.. “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” -I liked this quote that Anne said because through everything she has been through with the holocaust and the Nazi’s, she still thinks they are good people, even though they killed millions and millions of people. “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” -I liked this quote because it can relate to a lot of peoples attitudes these days. People can be so clueless of situations going on in the world. Most people just care about what's going on in their lives. “Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?” -I like this quote because a lot of teenage girls can relate to this. Even I can, a lot people don’t know everything about everyone. They could be the loudest, happiest, most outgoing person at school. But at home they could be sad and lonely. Not even parents know everything going on in their child's life. Life Lessons.. One other thing I One thing I learned learned from the Diary while reading this book of Anne Frank was to was enjoy your life. A not be so selfish. Anne lot of Jews didn’t get to back then couldn’t be do that back then selfish in the annex because of the because she had to holocaust, millions and think of all the other millions were killed, people living there. even kids and babies. Also all the Jews in the Anne was only fifteen holocaust, they barely when she had died, got anything to ever when I compare that to drink or eat, and they my self I think wouldn’t didn’t get say in want to die at this age, anything during that and neither did Anne. time. I should just be We all want to do thankful that I have a something with our house to live in, a lives, so just enjoy life. family that cares, and food. Another lesson you could’ve learned from this book was not to judge a book by its cover. Hitler thought all Jews were bad so he sent them all off and killed them. How would you feel if someone came “Ohana means family. up to you and just said ”Ohfamily I don’t means like younobody And because your or forgotte gets left of behind nationality.” It’s crazy to -Lilo and Stich think that anyone would even do that, but it’s even crazier that all the bystanders didn’t do anything about it, they just followed Hitler's lead. So before you judge someone because of their looks or nationality get to know them first. Reflections The diary of Anne Frank has honestly changed my life in a positive way. Anne Frank’s diary has helped me understand that the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust had faces, lives, and personalities. They were just like us normal people, nothing was wrong After reading this book I have with them, they were just humans. learned to not judge people She helped me learn that the because it can hurt, both physically Holocaust did happen, and it was a and emotionally. I’ve also learned horrible thing. Without her help, I to not be a bystander, like many Marie would never know the intensity of Annelies people did duringFrank the holocaust, if the pain caused during this time. a big group of people did come 1925-1945 And with out this people would together they might have had a never fully understand what it was chance at winning, and stopping Gone Hitler but never forgotten. like during the holocaust. and his harsh actions towards Jews. Rest in Peace
