Introduction
Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who was secluded from the outside
world within a hiding place Anne and her family take refuge in to escape the Nazis
during World War II. Before they went into hiding for 2 years, Anne Frank received a
diary for her 13th birthday 2 days before her family went into hiding, where she wrote
about her life while hiding with her family in the Secret Annex. In our day age, many
people live negative lives, but Anne was not of those people, Anne was sent to a
concentration camp at the age of 15 years old, she was very positive and always tried to
see the best in everyone. She wrote in her diary, “In spite of everything, I still believe
that people are really good at heart,” One of Anne’s most famous quotes.
The Franks lived in hiding in a secret annex during the German Occupation.
At first Anne was a normal adolescent but then she had to go into hiding with her family
to an Annex to from the Nazis, because they were Jewish. The Annex was in the
backroom office and warehouse of Otto Frank´s food products business. He was Annes
Dad. In 1944 the secret annex was discovered by the Gestapo, which had received a tip
from Dutch informers. Anne, her sister Margot, her mother Edith, father, and the other
people who were in the secret annex were taken into custody. The Frank family was
transported to Westerbork, a transit camp in the Netherlands, and from there to
Auschwitz, in German-occupied Poland, on September 3, 1944, on the last transport to
leave Westerbork for Auschwitz. Anne and Margot, her sister was soon sent to the
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp the following month. In March 1945 Anne as well
as her mother and sister died in typhus epidemic at Bergen-Belsen, only weeks before
the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Otto Frank, Annes dad was
liberated by the Soviet troops, he was the only survivor of the Frank Family.
The Franks move to the Netherlands when the Nazi regime started. In 1940 the
Netherlands was invaded by Germany, which began to enact carious anti-Jewish
measures, one of which required Anne and her sister to enroll in an all-Jewish school
the following year. In 1944 the secret annex was discovered; the Frank family was taken
to the concentration camps. During the time they were in the concentration camps it was
a nightmare they were slaves no matter how old you were. In the cabins where Anne,
her sister and her mother slept, they were super crowded since in each cabin there were
about 500 women, sometimes due to malnutrition they could fit up to 4 in each bed
because of how thin they were When the Nazis saw that they were about to die because
they were sick, malnourished, they killed you. When the Nazis were going to kill the
Jews, what they did was they told them that they were going to bathe them and they put
them into a room, there were like showers, and the Jewish people were happy, but the
reality was that those were not showers. They put them in a gas chamber, where they
died intoxicated.
During German occupation, Anne wrote faithfully in her diary,

recounting day to day life in hiding, from ordinary annoyances to the fear of being
capture. Over the next two years, Anne´s considered her diary a friend, addressing many
of the entries as “Dear Kitty”. She wrote her hopes for the feature, which included
becoming a journalist or writer. Anne kept in her diary all her thoughts, fears, and
feelings, and was later known to be the most important piece of literature from the times
of the Holocaust during World War II. Anne Frank was a talented writer; she has one of
the top selling and most read books ever. Also, she got her diary translated into 70
different languages. Many entries of Anne´s diary involve typical adolescent issues –
jealousy toward her sister, her developing body, and her bromance experience with
Peter Van Pels. Her diary gives insight on what was like to be a Jew in hiding, during
the time when the Nazis sought to kill al Jews. She also had a unique perspective of
being a young girl, instead of an adult, since it´s not edited. Anne began to rewrite her
journal for possible publication as a novel entitled Het Acheterhuis (The Secret Annex).
The originally book was written in Dutch. She notably created pseudonyms for all the
inhabitants, eventually adopting Anne Robin as her alias. There are many important
messages in this book, but the most important is that all people have the right to live in
freedom. Anne´s story show us that just because people may be different religion or
race, doesn’t mean that they should be treated differently. When Otto Frank, Anne´s
dad, found her diary of Anne Frank frasses and everything she wrote during hiding. He
knew Anne wanted to be a writer and had intended to write a book that told her story of
the Holocaust. As a result, her father Otto Frank felt that it was important that he got her
diary published, Anne´s dairy was published in 1947, two years later of Anne´s death in
a concentration camp. It was published by Otto Frank her father. The Dairy of a Young
Girl, also known as the Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who
chronicled her family´s two years 1942 – 44 in hiding during German Occupation of the
Netherlands during World War II.
During World War II, after some time it was establish by the Dutch
government both Anne and Margot died in a typhus epidemic in March 1945, only
weeks before the liberation of Bergen – Belsen. After the arrest of eight in hiding, the
protectors Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl Found Anne´s writings in the secret annex.
Miep Gies keeps Anne´s diary and other papers on Otto´s desk in the secret annex.
Anne´s diary became a classic of war literature. The diary was received
positively and translated into many languages. Anne Frank become a potent symbol of
Nazis, that killed six million Jews. So, I guess Anne Frank in full name Annelies Marie
Frank, dream of become a writer came true. I hope that people always remember Anne
Frank and her struggles during the Holocaust. Anne's diary is an excellent example of
the contrasting pain and happiness of adolescence life. Anne Frank despite being in that
situation, she was always positive and happy, I think people just read her diary and
make a better world.
