    Despite several notable contrasts between Anne Frank’s life presented in the play, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” and other accounts of Jewish people in hiding during World War II, the lives of these Jews had more similarities than differences. These people were similar in the way that they lived the same schedule every day. Anne and the other Jews relied on their helpers, who risked their lives willingly, to provide food and other human necessities for them, as well as tried to include aspects of their old lives before the Holocaust into their new lives in hiding. The Jews lived with fear of getting caught by Nazis in the back of their minds. Even though Jewish people may have had different

  • Anne Frank: Are People Really Good At Heart?

    Anne Frank stated in her diary that "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." As a Jewish teenager during the time of the Holocaust, Anne had been hiding in an attic with her parents and sister, as well as the Van Daans, their son, and Mr Dussel. This time was extremely rough for her entire race. This quote shows how optimistic she really was. She had the attitude to think that even underneath all of the hatred that not only the Nazis beheld, but perhaps also the people that she was hiding with for years, there was at least a small amount of good in them. With that optimism, came the strong hope that she had. She was completely aware that the Nazis were not good people, but she refused to take that as a

She lived in a very bad time during the Holocaust, where she either had to hide or go to a concentration camp. Anne Frank is a normal girl that should be going to school and not be in hiding from the Nazis and should not have to take the sacrifices of having no friends, no ability to be free and to express her religion. I consider Anne a hero because of all the dedication to staying free and not having to be under a dictatorship.

  • Anne Frank Important Quotes

    864 Words  | 2 Pages

    Anne quoted in The Diary Of Anne Frank, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Anne may have perceived this way due to the fact that everyone was down because of the possible imprisonment of the Frank family and The Van Daan's. She may also feel this way because she was starting to regret everything she had said to everyone who was staying with the Frank's. The last idea I think that Anne felt that way is because she might have felt that Adolf Hitler was pressuring his military to do something they knew was wrong. This is because Hitler was a very brutal human. There are yet many more influential quotes spoken by Anne, and still, most of us have no idea of what they mean. Given the fact that some people study famous quotes, but a majority of the American civilization knows little or nothing about Anne Frank, let alone her quoted words. This can cause riots between modern day Germans and Jews. On the last page of the play, Anne stated, "Despite everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." Even though Anne said, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart", she means that even after all of the bad things they have done to her, she still believes people mean to
