Anne Frank was one of World War’s victims. As she was a Jew, she had suffered greatly from the Germans. During the days of Anne, Adolf Hitler was capturing every Jewish alive and putting them into gas rooms where they would be killed. Anne and her family flew to a secret place where they wouldn’t be seen by the police. They were able to hide for a long time, but alas, they got caught only a few weeks behind until the end of the war. All of the family including the other friends who were hiding or helping with them went to cells. Sadly, Anne died following her sister in her cell.
The diary of Anne Frank was left behind and shown to the world. It had touched many people’s hearts, and it was sold more than 25 million copies. It was a story of a young girl’s short life of her growth. This story of her makes you feel inspired again by the quote “Life is a drama.” It contains sadness, happiness, hope, fear, and love. I always feel very bad for her because she really wanted to be free of the endless hiding and had a dream to become a writer one day. However, the war, the dreadful war that caused the death of the innocent led her to death instead.
When we think of the Holocaust, most of us would just say “wow.” There wouldn’t be any strong feeling towards it, especially to this generation who didn’t face the horrible war. As you read the diary, your thoughts would change because you would soon find out it is more than an exclamation point. Anne and other people with her couldn’t even dare to breathe when someone came into the office building. They would quietly listen to the radio whether the war would be ending. We read the feelings of Anne, and we could see everyday she prays for freedom. She is terribly frightened by the Germans and the concentration camp. She knows what would happen when the German soldiers break in and take them to away. She knows that all of them would be sent to the gas rooms and grabbing their neck painfully die. This is unimaginable to us living in this comfortable place compared to Anne who lived in that small building with eight people sharing small amount of food. Through this book, we now know a real story of a girl who never gave up even from the threats of the world.
