 Preface

Anne Frank “The Diary of a Young Girl” beautifully written memoir of a young
girl caught in one of the most horrendous times in human history. The novel
basically focuses on the human spirit which is indestructible and even a little unity
of people can take them far and face the most difficult circumstances. Anne Frank
and her family along with the other family, were living in a secret Annex behind
the bookshelf of the building in which her father worked for more than 2 years
before getting captured by Hitler’s mellacious army officials. When a young girl
was given a Diary on her 13th birthday, that was the start for her writing about her
day to day life, and when she went into hiding, each and everything that was
happening in the Annex and outside is written meticulously.

Introduction

Annelies Marie Frank renowned as Anne Frank is a German born diarist and
World War II holocaust victim. In the Netherlands, a 13 year old girl is gifted with
a diary on her birthday. She begins to write 2 days later. The diary would have
been an ordinary diary of an ordinary teenage girl, only it was written in 1942,
when Hitler introduced his violent attack against the Jews in Europe. He had
already taken over much of the continent- Poland, Austria and Czechoslovakia
gravitating one by one followed with the defeat of the former like dominos. When
these Germans set foot in the Netherlands, most of the Jews went into hiding, so
did the little girl along with her family, her father Otto Frank, her mother Edith,
and her three year old elder sister Margo, and one more family of three in sealed of
room hidden behind a ligneous book shelf in the upper annex of the building her
father worked in, in Amsterdam. They remained there for 2 years until they were
betrayed and rushed away by the soldiers of the occupying German sources to a
concentration camp in Auschwitz where they all died ultimately except for Anne’s
father Otto Frank.

Anne's voice has connected across landmasses and ages. Her journal has shielded
the casualties of Holocaust from slipping into an other insightful unavoidable
namelessness. She has given others like her a face and an actual existence. She has
made it genuine for each one of the individuals who survived it and for the
individuals who came after her. It is said that the injury of the psych of individuals
endures, can't be mended by its shutting everything down. It is just in keeping the
memory of the injury alive, in recalling and in sharing, that the individuals locate
their actual purgation.

World War II

World War II was the greatest and deadliest war ever, including in excess of 30
nations. Started by the 1939 Nazi attack of Poland, the war kept going on for six
wicked years until the Allies vanquished Nazi Germany and Japan in 1945.

The flimsiness made in Europe by the First World War (1914-18) set up for
another global clash World War II–which broke out two decades later and would
demonstrate significantly additional pulverizing. Ascending to control in a
monetarily and politically precarious Germany, Adolf Hitler and his National
Socialist (Nazi Party) rearmed the country and marked vital settlements with Italy
and Japan to promote his aspirations of global control. Hitler's attack of Poland in
September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to announce war on Germany, and
World War II had started. Throughout the following six years, the contention
would take more lives and demolish more land and property around the world than
any past war. Among the assessed 45-60 million individuals slaughtered were 6
million Jews killed in Nazi death camps as a feature of Hitler's wicked "Last
Solution," presently known as the Holocaust.

The decimation of the Great War (as World War I was known at that point) had
extraordinarily destabilized Europe, and in numerous regards World War II
became out of issues left uncertain by that previous clash. Specifically, political
and financial precariousness in Germany, and waiting disdain over the unforgiving
terms forced by the Versailles Treaty, energized the ascent to intensity of Adolf
Hitler and his National Socialist (Nazi) Party.

In the wake of turning out to be Reich Chancellor in 1933, Hitler quickly merged
forces, blessing himself Führer (incomparable pioneer) in 1934. Fixated on the
possibility of the predominance of the "unadulterated" German race, which he
called "Aryan," Hitler accepted that war was the best way to pick up the essential
"Lebensraum," or living space, for that race to grow. In the mid-1930s, he started
the rearmament of Germany, subtly and infringing upon the Versailles Treaty. In
the wake of marking partnerships with Italy and Japan against the Soviet Union,
Hitler sent soldiers to involve Austria in 1938 and the next year added
Czechoslovakia. Hitler's open animosity went unchecked, as the United States and
Soviet Union were focused on inside legislative issues at that point, and neither
France nor Britain (the two different countries most crushed by the Great War)
were energetic for showdown.

In late August 1939, Hitler and Soviet pioneer Joseph Stalin marked the
German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, which actuated a free for all of stress in
London and Paris. Hitler had since quite a while ago arranged an intrusion of
Poland, a country to which Great Britain and France had ensured military help on
the off chance that it was assaulted by Germany. The agreement with Stalin
implied that Hitler would not confront a war on two fronts once he attacked
Poland, and would have Soviet help with overcoming and separating the country
itself. On September 1, 1939, Hitler attacked Poland from the west; after two days,
France and Britain proclaimed war on Germany, starting World War II.

In North Africa, British and American powers had vanquished the Italians and
Germans by 1943. An Allied attack of Sicily and Italy followed, and Mussolini's
administration fell in July 1943, however Allied battling against the Germans in
Italy would proceed until 1945.

On World War II's Eastern Front, a Soviet counteroffensive propelled in November

1942 finished the grisly Battle of Stalingrad, which had seen the absolute fiercest
battle of the war. The methodology of winter, alongside waning nourishment and
clinical supplies, spelled the end for German soldiers there, and the remainder of
them gave up on January 31, 1943.

An escalated elevated siege in February 1945 went before the Allied land attack of
Germany, and when Germany officially gave up on May 8, Soviet powers had
involved a significant part of the nation. Hitler was at that point dead, having
passed on by suicide on April 30 in his Berlin shelter.

Reflection of World War II in Anne Frank’s ‘The Diary of a Young

Girl’

Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. The Franks were a run of
the mill upper-white collar class, German-Jewish family living in a calm, strictly
differing neighborhood close to the edges of Frankfurt. In any case, she was
conceived just before sensational changes in German culture that would before
long upset her family's upbeat, peaceful life just as the lives of all other German
Jews. Due in large part to the unforgiving authorizations forced on Germany by the
Treaty of Versailles that finished World War I, the German economy battled
awfully during the 1920s. During the late 1920s and mid 1930s, the harmfully
hostile to Semitic National German Socialist Workers Party (Nazi Party) drove by
Adolf Hitler turned into Germany's driving political power, winning control of the
administration in 1933.

"I can remember that as early as 1932, groups of Storm Troopers came marching
by, singing, 'When Jewish blood splatters from the knife,'" ~ Otto recalled later.

At the point when Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 20, 1933, the
Frank family promptly understood that the time had come to escape. They moved
to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the fall of 1933.

Otto later said, "Though this did hurt me deeply, I realized that Germany was not the
world, and I left my country forever."

Frank depicted the conditions of her family's displacement years after the fact in
her journal:
"Because we're Jewish, my father immigrated to Holland in 1933, where he became
the managing director of the Dutch Opekta Company, which manufactures products
used in making jam."
Following quite a while of suffering enemy of Semitism in Germany, the Franks
were calmed to buy and by appreciating opportunity in their new old neighborhood
of Amsterdam. "Back then, it was feasible for us to begin once again and to feel
free," Otto reviewed.

Frank started going to Amsterdam's Sixth Montessori School in 1934, and all
through the remainder of the 1930s, she carried on a moderately upbeat and
ordinary adolescence. Straight to the point had numerous companions, Dutch and
German, Jewish and Christian, and she was a brilliant and curious understudy.

On May 10, 1940, the German armed force attacked the Netherlands. The Dutch
gave up on May 15, 1940, denoting the start of the Nazi control of the Netherlands.
As Frank later wrote in her journal, "After May 1940, the great occasions were
rare; first there was the war, at that point the capitulation and afterward the
appearance of the Germans, which is the point at which the difficulty began for the
Jews."

Starting in October 1940, the Nazi occupiers forced enemy of Jewish measures in
the Netherlands. Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David consistently
and watch a severe check in time; they were likewise taboo from owning
organizations. Straight to the point and her sister had to move to an isolated Jewish
school. Otto figured out how to stay with control of his by formally giving
proprietorship up to two of his Christian partners, Jo Kleiman and Victor Kugler,
while proceeding to run the organization from off camera.

Hiding in the Secret Annex

On July 5, 1942, Margot got an official summons to answer to a Nazi work camp
in Germany. The following day, the Frank family sought total isolation in stopgap
quarters in a vacant space at the rear of Otto's organization building, which they
alluded to as the Secret Annex.
The Franks were excluded from everything by Otto's colleague Hermann van Pels
just as his significant other, Auguste, and child, Peter. Otto's representatives
Kleiman and Kugler, just as Jan and Miep Gies en Bep Voskuijl, gave nourishment
and data about the outside world. The families went through two years secluded
from everything, not even once venturing outside the dull, soggy, sequestered
segment of the structure.

Concentration Camp

On August 4, 1944, a German mystery cop joined by four Dutch Nazis raged into
the Secret Annex, capturing everybody that was stowing away there including
Frank and her family. They had been double-crossed by a mysterious tip, and the
personality of their double-crosser stays obscure right up 'til today.

The occupants of the Secret Annex were transported off to Camp Westerbork, an
inhumane imprisonment in the northeastern Netherlands. They showed up by a
traveler train on August 8, 1944. On the night of September 3, 1944, they were
moved to the Auschwitz inhumane imprisonment in Poland. After showing up at
Auschwitz, the people were isolated. This was the last time that Otto at any point
saw his significant other or girls.

Following a while of hard work pulling overwhelming stones and grass mats,
Frank and Margot were again moved. They showed up at the Bergen-Belsen
inhumane imprisonment in Germany throughout the winter, where nourishment
was rare, sanitation was dreadful and illness spun out of control.

Their mom was not permitted to go with them. Edith became sick and kicked the
bucket at Auschwitz soon after showing up at the camp, on January 6, 1945.

Anne Frank’s Death

Frank and her sister Margot both came down with typhus in the early spring of
1945. They died within a day of each other in March 1945, only a few weeks
before British soldiers liberated the German Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
where they were interned. Frank was just 15 years old at the time of her death, one
of more than 1 million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust.

At the end of the war, Frank's father Otto, the sole survivor of the concentration
camps, returned home to Amsterdam, searching desperately for news of his family.
On July 18, 1945, he met two sisters who had been with Frank and Margot at
Bergen-Belsen and delivered the tragic news of their deaths.
 Chapter - 4

Conclusion

During the two years Frank spent escaping the Nazis with her family in the Secret
Annex in Amsterdam, she composed broad day by day passages in her journal to
breathe easy. Some deceived the profundity of misery into which she once in a
while sunk during for a long time of constrainment.

"I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die," she wrote on
February 3, 1944. "The world will keep on turning without me, and I can't do anything
to change events anyway." The act of writing allowed Frank to maintain her sanity
and her spirits. "When I write, I can shake off all my cares," she wrote on April 5,
1944.

When Otto came back to Amsterdam from the death camps toward the finish of the
war, he discovered Frank's journal, which had been spared by Miep Gies. He in the
end assembled the solidarity to understand it. He was awestruck by what he found.

"There was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost," Otto
wrote in a letter to his mother. "I had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and
feelings."

For every one of its entries of depression, Frank's journal is basically an account of
confidence, expectation and love despite despise. "On the off chance that she had
been here, Anne would have been so glad," Otto said.

Straight to the point's journal suffers, not just due to the striking occasions she
depicted yet because of her uncommon endowments as a storyteller and her tireless
soul through even the most awful of conditions.
"It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and
death," she wrote on July 15, 1944. "I see the world being slowly transformed into a
wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the
suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that
everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and
tranquility will return once more."
