Anne Frank’s Early Life

Full name: Annelies Marie Frank
Born: June 12, 1929
The writings from the two years she spent in such close
proximity to her family was discovered and published by
her father, Otto Frank and continue to touch people
today.
The Frank Family



She was born in Frankfurt,
Germany; her family
emigrated to Amsterdam in
the Netherlands.
When Hitler became
Chancellor of Germany in
1933, the Frank family
immediately realized that it
was time to flee.
Otto later said, "Though this
did hurt me deeply, I realized
that Germany was not the
world, and I left my country
forever."

Her Diary


On June 12, 1942, Frank's parents
gave her a red checkered diary for
her 13th birthday.
She wrote her first entry, addressed
to an imaginary friend named Kitty,
that same day: "I hope I will be able
to confide everything to you, as I
have never been able to confide in
anyone, and I hope you will be a
great source of comfort and
support.“
Going into Hiding
Weeks later, on July 5,
1942, Margot received
an official summons to
report to a Nazi work
camp in Germany.
The very next day, on
July 6, 1942 the family
went into hiding in
makeshift quarters in an
empty space at the back
of Otto Frank's company
building, which they
referred to as the Secret
Annex.
Photos of the Secret Annex


They were accompanied
in hiding by Otto's
business partner Hermann
van Pels as well as his
wife, Auguste, and son,
Peter.
Otto's employees Kleiman
and Kugler, as well as Jan
and Miep Gies and Bep
Voskuijl, provided food
and information about the
outside world.
Let’s find out more
about her…
Bell work: Thursday, Jan. 5


Anne Frank says, "…the mean Anne comes to
the outside and the good Anne stays on the
inside…"
Write a journal entry where you describe the
you that is on the outside, the one people see.
Then, describe the you that is on the inside,
that most people do not ever see.
Bell work: Friday, Jan. 6
Anne Frank says, "I still believe, in spite of
everything, that people are really good at heart."
You know that history books, and the
newspapers and television, are full of terrible
things. Are people good at heart? Is anyone all
evil? Is anyone all good? Feel free to give
examples, from your own life, from the news, or
from history.

Act I Scene 1-2
Mr. Frank tells Anne, "There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your
mind" (379). He is speaking metaphorically. What does he mean? Do you agree? Support your
opinion with examples from your own knowledge or experiences.
The first segment of writing establishes characters. Choose two characters, write three descriptive
adjectives after each character's name, and discuss how Goodrich and Hackett develop these
characters
Act I Scene 3
Each member of the Van Daan family has a weakness. Choose a character, identify his / her
weakness, prove it in a CD, and predict how this weakness will affect the goal of the group.
List the major conflicts so far developed in the play. Label these as internal or external. Connect
one of these conflicts to the greater outside conflict, the reason for hiding in the first place. What
connections, parallels, or ironies exist between the conflicts inside and the conflicts outside of the
Annex.
Act I Scene 4-5
Does Anne seem to have typical teenage attitudes toward her parents? In your answer, quote a
passage in CD/CM format to support your opinion. (Avoid “I think”!) What is at stake here? How
will your decision change your relationship with those hiding with you?
Should Mr. Frank have consulted the other members of the Annex before inviting Mr. Dussel to live
there? Why or Why not? Does he exhibit leadership skills when making this decision? How could
this decision present a moral dilemma for him? How might it change his relationships with others in
the Annex?
