For this assigned blog i watched The Diary of Anne Frank. This movie is based off the journal of young Jewish girl named Anne Frank. When the Jews begin to discover what the Nazis are doing and where they are taking them, Anne and her family have no choice but to go into hiding. Anne believed they would be going somewhere like country, but it turns out they were hiding above her father's office. They never came out of that small, crowded apartment for 2 years. They couldn't speak til 12:30 at night. Unfortunately, they were eventually caught. All of Anne's family members but her father died in concentration camps. After his survival, he came back to the apartment where they lived for so long. He found Anne's diary, and that's how it became public.
I think this story is in many ways inspiring, but also heartbreaking. A family is willing to do all that they can to stay together and to stay alive. They're dedication is remarkable. I think it's neat that Anne wrote in her diary each day. I don't know what else you could do with your thoughts when you have to be quiet til 12:30 at night. I really liked this movie! It definitely makes you thankful for all that you have.
