For my Assigned blog #4 we had to watch a World War Two movie again. I chose to watch Diary of Anne Frank because i read the book in eighth grade and missed the day the watched it in class. So i decided to watch it!
The Diary of Anne frank took place in the Holocaust era. Anne lived in a wealthy family so they never worried about being poor or anything like that. She was a bright young girl and for her thirteeth birthday her parents gave her a diary that she could write in. Before you know it Jews are getting take in from their homes and Holland and getting scattered into concentration camps. Where they will soon be put/worked to death.
One day Anne's sister recieves a letter saying she needs to come before the authorites. which means that she will soon be sent to a concentration camp. So the Frank family packs up(They could only bring the things they absolutely needed) and goes into hiding. They go to Anne's father's office building and they go the hide behind a section of his office which is a swinging bookcase. This spot is called the Secret Annex. Its not fun at all for the Frank family as they live here for two whole years. They are not allowed to move very much and do much talking during the day as they do not want any of the workerd in the workplace to here them and then turn them in. But, after the work day is over they are allowed to moves as freely as they want as long as they are in the secret annex. No one is really allowed to the secret annex at all! out of fear of getting caught by the Nazi soldiers. Then another family, the Van Daan's, moves into the hiding spot, Secret Annex. Later Anne and Peter Van Daan start to get extra friendly, "like each other a lot". As they cannot let any one know. But before this the Frank's and Van Daan's do not get along very well.
Then a little later Anne gains a roommate Mr. Dussel, who was a former dentist until put into hiding. Anne Franks writes in her journal about everything thats going on everyday, like every problem they run into or if they are having a good day with no problems at all. Then so to find the Police officer finds the Secret Annex and they all get separated into different concentration camps. Anne Frank dies in March 1945, thats one month before the Holocaust ended. Otto Frank, Anne's Father is the only survivor from the group and he dies in August of 1980.
I think that the Frank Family did the right thing on going into hiding. They choose a good temorarily safe hiding spot. I also think it was very kind of the Frank's to allow another family and man into their hiding spot. it was very risky of them. but very nice and considerate. i would be very scared everyday if i was any one of those people in hiding knowing everyday if they were caught they would be seperated and maybe never see them ever again. Very scary!
