The diary of Anne Frank

The diary of Anne Frank :Jenson ''Biansan'' Koga
In 1933 the frank family moved to the Netherlands to hide or run away from the Nazi persecution. They were doing just fine until 1940 when in that time the Netherlands were just occupied by the Germans. By the new set of rules/laws there were all against the Jewish people. Such as some of the rules were that the Jewish people could not go to the same schools as Germans and they could not even ride their cars. I think that the worst one is that all of the Jewish people have to wear a yellow star to identify that they are Jewish people. The Germans also boycotted the Jewish business in the town. Most of the Jewish people were arrested, harassed, and also put into concentration camps were they would be brought together and they got killed. The franks made a decision that they wanted to go into hiding by doing this they would put their lives into great danger and risk. "Happy birthday too you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Anne happy birthday to you." On Anne’s thirteenth birthday that she got a special gift she got a diary she was so very excited of what she got. She started to write in it about her life and the details about it by including some descriptions of her friends, the events that were going on in her school, and even the boys that she liked. In a month or even less she started to write about her carefree life as a child and I could see that it was a little hard for her and she also wrote about her family going into hiding because of the Germans doing these things to the Jewish people. Margot Anne’s older sister that was sixteen years old had been called up. To be called up is to mean that the Gestapo called her up. The Gestapo is the Germanys brutal secret police force. It most likely that if you were called up that would mean that they would send you to a concentration camp and probably beat you up and eventually kill you. So the Frank family was preparing to go into hiding in their fathers annex the fathers name is Otto and his family came from a wealthy background until his family’s money was lost in World War 1. So the Frank family was sending furniture and most of there stuff to the annex to stay. The secret annex is in Otto’s office building. They were not the only ones to stay in the annex. There was another family the Van Daans too were staying in the annex. The Frank family after invited one more person to share the annex and he was Mr. Dussel. While they were hiding in the annex the Franks used a radio to see how everything was going and how the War was going on too. Still yet Anne was still writing in her diary but now she was writing about all well most of the events that were happening in the War. The Gestapo found the Frank family and then the got arrested on August 4, 1944. There were two secretaries that found a couple of pages of Anne’s diary and they gave it to Miep Gies. Miep Gies is Otto’s assistant in there office. Miep Gies keep the couple of diary pages in hi desk draw and he didn’t even attempt to read it. In 1945 the War ended and Miep Gies gave the couple of pages to the living Otto. The sad part is that Anne and Margot both died of Typhus at the concentration camp. The died on March of 1945 and there mother died of exhaustion and hunger of January of 1945. The Van Daans and Mr. Dussel also died in their concentration camps too. Otto Frank knew that Anne wanted to be a published writer and he looked through the diary and took some pages to some day gets published.


My Reaction:
My reaction to this book is that I personally don’t like book and I don’t like to read because I am more of an outdoors type of guy and I always want to be moving around. But I sort of liked this book because my uncle was in a concentration camp in World War 2 so that is why I was sort of interested. I wanted to know what you would have to do in there. But now I see that it is kind of like a jail but the only thing is that your whole family is in there too.
