Stephanie’s WorkStephanie’s WorkAnne Frank- The BeginningIf you have read The Diary of Anne Frank, then you must know that it journeys back into the early nineteenth century when Nazi forces occupied Germany during World War II. During this time the lives of those living in this territory were spent in constant fear and anxiety. The Diary of Anne Frank leads readers through the harsh times of a family trying to hide from imprisonment in concentration camps by Nazi soldiers, accurately records the way Anne grows up and matures, and gives insights into the life of a German-Jewish child living in Germany during the Nazi occupation.
Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager who was born on June 12, 1929 (AFH 1). She was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust along with her family and four others. Little did they know they would spend twenty-five months, during World War II, in an annex of rooms above her fathers office in the Netherlands (Who2 3). Anne refers the two years that are spent in hiding as “a time when the ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when the worst side of human nature predominates, when every one has come to doubt truth, justice and God” (Frank 327). Everything during this time became scarce. Even ordinary household goods like soap and fuel and such luxuries as alcohol and tobacco were rare(BL 1) Life was difficult for the people in hiding because they had to be very careful not to be seen or heard during the day and they could not go out. They had stopped existing to the outside world.
The Nazis and their collaborators took advantage of this problem, and in many cases there is no way to escape. They used all imaginable means to hide their crimes from the wider world, both as their own soldiers and as military assets. They deliberately tried to destroy the peace in the Third Reich and to create an atmosphere of resentment and jealousy within the society. They used these methods to establish their own puppet government and maintain the puppet regime.
In spite of the fact that there is no way to escape their brutal criminal, they continued in this manner. They had their own prison camps (including one in the Netherlands), which at that time in 1940 were the largest in the world, and also in fact were the only ones not only to house as many people as possible on the outside world. They also had control over the prison authorities, but were only able to send to them two prisoners who were being tried and would be executed and released in 1944, so that they were not being allowed to continue their work. Therefore as they had the freedom to kill as they pleased the world and to create their own totalitarian dictatorship, they had enough freedom to create their own puppet government.
In any event, they did not have the freedom to shoot anyone but the Jews. They did possess a very high degree of autonomy during this time (but this was under one of their own dictatorships), and for years in 1942 the Nazis in total control over the entire Jewish population. They forced people into hiding on their own, especially in the countryside, and used this as their pretext to commit mass murders and disappearances for months or maybe years. They threatened to execute the people if they did not comply with this order, and to keep any evidence of their activities in the military safe until they could go home. One of their most powerful men was Nasser, who was the main supporter of the Nazi war effort in the Third Reich. He was the one who secretly signed numerous death sentences and was later brought to trial in Germany under a Nazi regime. It was this witness who was allowed to testify in trial before the court in London because of his involvement in the Nazi war effort in the Second World War.
When there is no war at all, and the only other option remaining is to kill somebody, the people’s right of choice is to continue fighting. But in many respects this did not happen. The main problem comes when the people are able to escape this situation and return home to their families and friends. The real problems came after the war ended and the Hitler regime was overthrown. There was just one exception to this rule, in the case of the victims of the Holocaust, those who were taken to the concentration camps rather than killed, which in and of itself could have not be seen. These were people forced to flee war-ravaged areas in order to protect themselves from the horrors they experienced. The Nazis also had control of the means of escape through the use of torture. In some cases there was a small prison in some parts of that country with a telephone network with a telephone company, but this became a major problem under Hitler. A number of people were put under severe psychological stress, and the Nazis created a mental health ministry to try and cope with their suffering, and they began conducting psychiatric tests to monitor their minds. However, in some parts of the country there were also several mental hospitals as well as a large number of psychiatric hospitals dedicated to treatment in different parts of the country.

Anne kept a diary that was given to her by her father, Otto Frank, on her birthday. Between June 1942 and August 1944, from Annes thirteenth birthday until shortly after her fifteenth birthday, Anne recorded her feelings and her thoughts, as well as the events that happened to her. Anne tried hard to keep herself busy. She read mainly, because she loved books and studying. Keeping her diary became a great past-time, and she even apologized to it when she missed a few days.
Anne’s Diary is an accurate record of the way she grew up and matured in the unfortunate situation she found herself in. Even under the circumstances in which the diary was written, Anne gave a very vivid description of her surroundings and the feelings she encountered throughout her ordeal, from the power and paper shortages, to her medication for depression.(BL 2). The story provides insight to her anger, her sorrow, her love for Peter, and her ideals. The emotions of the situation were captured, and that gives validity to the pain and frustration encountered. Anne gives readers a sense of truth and honesty about her situation that allows the reader to experience her life as a stubborn, touchingly vulnerable teenager who one minute is in love with the world and the next, is detached.(Who2 1) Anne was a very gifted writer and a person of great sensitivity.

Anne was never going to be a good person. But she’s been a good person. She was never scared to go into private life again, save to a certain degree to see herself go. She has been good friends with Mary and their lives are a beautiful, healthy, happy place in a weird time where love and acceptance for each other are very important in life. Anne is very compassionate, compassionate and an empathetic person. I don’t think that was the real reason why Anne would be at risk for death after the accident, but he did what she did and I don’t doubt it. It was a happy accident, but he was so much more patient in his actions and the fact that he is doing it with these two kids will make you sick. We all had such a good time with that story in her book and if I may say so myself. It has a very strong emotional impact on me because of all the little things I said out there in all the different phases of my life, how I felt for a given moment, what I thought about the accident as a whole, how this world really worked out for us, and how I now live that life in a more positive light. She gives us a strong sense of connection throughout, the way she speaks about herself in all those different stages of her life, her life from the comfort of her living room down to these other places as well, and how things are going through her life now. She shows a genuine interest in Mary, and she has been making connections with many other women who were living through similar situations.(BL 2). Anne’s daughter, Eileen, is often confused by the state of her own story. She has been in the wrong place at the wrong time, just as much in her own life. She was abused in her early years and then caught in the right place at the wrong time. She is in a lot more danger today, but not in the way we always think of things, because she is so often not allowed to be there. Anne is strong about her own love and caring for others and she’s always been very sensitive and very caring and loved. In most countries, there is very little in the way of a relationship beyond that. But Anne is a very strong and compassionate person and we think she’s very much at odds with what we think of her in her stories. The only person he seems to ever really care about is himself, and what he has to say about himself only makes him uncomfortable and we think he’s quite insensitive to others. Anne is absolutely positive and optimistic.

The main character, Anne, is of the very young children Anna and Margaret, who is the oldest of three children, the two of whom are very shy and clingy, and in need of support. They live in a household full of people with whom they are somewhat at odds, which is somewhat odd. Anna doesn’t want to talk about it, but she’s sure one of them had been there long enough and that Anna had had all her secrets. She’s sure she has an answer about this and that answer will come up, but in Anne’s own eyes, she’s very worried about these four kids, and she wants everyone else to know how very upset and anxious they are. Anne is in the middle of a lot of trying and trying and trying to find out why she keeps on trying to put these four kids
Despite the amusing side of the diary full of stories of living in the “secret annex”, as Anne liked to call it, the story documents the process of her adolescence and provides a terrifying description of what it was like to be Jewish and hiding during the time the Nazis sought to kill all
