4/30/2018 4 Comments So What?The Diary of Anne Frank matters because it is one of the only firsthand accounts available to the public today from someone who actually experienced the Holocaust. It is important that people understand what it was like to go through such a tragic event. The most valuable idea from this book is that anything is possible when you have loved ones supporting you. Even though Anne Frank, Margot Frank, Edith Frank, Hermann van Pels, Peter van Pels, Auguste van Pels, and Fritz Pfeffer all died in the camps, they did their best to stay together for all those years of hiding in the Secret Annex. The book ends with Anne Frank talking about how her personality is "a bundle of contradictions." Anne is usually very flirty and easy-going, but whenever she tries to show her softer, quieter side to people they either think she is in a bad mood or sick. "Sometimes I wonder if anyone will ever understand what I mean, If anyone will ever overlook my ingratitude and not worry about whether or not I’m Jewish and merely see me as a teenager badly in need of some good plain fun" (Anne Frank, page #153)

4/23/2018 1 Comment Current Day ConnectionsI am researching and reading a book about the Holocaust. Though some people many not realize it, the Holocaust still affects our world today. Because of the effects of the Holocaust, there have been a lot of advancements in the protection of international human rights. Also, many countries nowadays have plans for what to do with refugees that are coming into the country. The events in the Holocaust relate to our present society because, as I have just showed, many different laws and policies have been put in place to prevent events that happened in the Holocaust from happening again.

It is about a Jewish girl named Anne Frank who lived during the Holocaust. She writes about her life before Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and when her family was in hiding from the Nazis. The Holocaust was a time from 1939-1945 when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party captured all Jews in Germany and sent them to concentration camps to be killed. The events in the book relate to the real life events because Anne was a real girl and she explains events as they happen that also happened in real life. The people in Germany during the Holocaust knew of the horrors of concentration camps.
