Anne Frank: A Famous Holocaust Survivor

599 Words2 Pages

During the Holocaust, many Jewish people were stripped of their rights, freedom, and were killed off like animals in concentration camps. Through this injustice many Jewish victims found ways to keep their spirit alive through the horrors. Whether they pull their strength through nature, family, or love; they found a way to not give up on life until the very end. Anne Frank, a famous Holocaust survivor, who wrote her experience in detail, gave us some insight on how a 13 year old Jewish girl found the will to survive. “As long as this exists,” I thought, “and I may live to see it, this sunshine, the cloudless skies, while this last, I cannot be unhappy.” (Doc D) Anne Frank found peace within nature as she gazes outside the window and witness

  • Adversity In Night By Elie Wiesel

    It is almost unimaginable the difficulties victims of the holocaust faced in concentration camps. For starters they were abducted from their homes and shipped to concentration camps in tightly packed cattle cars. Once they made it to a camp, a selection process occurred. The males were separated from the females. Then those who were too young or too old to work were sent to the showers. Once the showers were tightly packed, the Nazi’s would turn on the water and drop in canisters of chemicals that would react with the water and release a deadly gas. Within minutes, everyone in the shower would be dead. The bodies would be hauled out and burned. Those who were not selected to die didn’t fair much better. Terrible living conditions, forced labor, malnourishment, and physical abuse were just a few of the things they had to endure. It was such a dark time. So many invaluable lessons can be learned from the holocaust and from those who survived it. One theme present in Elie Wiesel’s novel Night and Robert Benigni’s film Life is Beautiful is that family can strengthen or hinder one during adversity.

    Anne Frank was a 13-year-old Jewish girl who was thrown into one of the worst periods in the history of the world; the Holocaust. Though she went through awful things that many people will never experience, she always kept the faith that there was still some good in everyone. She once said, “Despite everything I still believe people are truly good at heart.” Her diary, which she kept while her family was in hiding from the Nazis, shows the triumph of her spirit over the evil in the world even through the pain of adolescence. The Franks and Van Dans were hiding and they suffered many hardships, mentally and physically. Many people in Anne’s situation would have become bitter and resentful, but Anne never would despair.

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.

  • How Do We Remember the Holocaust Today?

    The Holocaust is considered the largest genocide of our entire world, killing more than 600,000,000 Jewish people during the years of 1933-1945. The memories and history that have filled our lives that occurred during the Holocaust are constantly remembered around the world. Many populations today “think” that constant reminders allow for us to become informed and help diminish the hatred for other races still today. These scholars believe that by remembering the Holocaust, you are able to become knowledgeable and learn how to help prevent this from happening again. Since the Holocaust in a sense impacted the entire human race and history of the world, there are traces of the Holocaust all across our culture today. As I continue to remember the victims of this tragic time period I think of all the ways that our world remembers the Holocaust in today’s society. Through spreading the word, works of media and memorials across the world, I am continually reminded of the tragedy that occurred.

    The Survivors of the Holocaust: General Survey Because the traumatization of the Holocaust was both individual and collective, most individuals made efforts to create a "new family" to replace the nuclear family that had been lost. In order for the victims to resist dehumanization and regression and to find support, the members of such groups shared stories about the past, fantasies of the future and joint prayers as well as poetry and expressions of personal and general human aspirations for hope and love. Imagination was an important means of liberation from the frustrating reality by opening an outlet for the formulation of plans for the distant future, and by spurring to immediate actions.

  • Anne Frank: Exemplary Human Being

    527 Words  | 2 Pages

    As peaceful and optimistic as Gandhi yet as free spirited as Shirley Temple, Anne Frank proves to be an exemplary human being through her brutal outbursts that seem like nothing but the truth, and her positive spin on her challenges. She is not of impeccable character in the sense that she always does the right thing, but by not giving up on humanity and by not being afraid to love rather than easily hate people. Though she has gone through an unimaginable amount of suffering, she still believes that people are truly good regardless of the fact that she and her ethnic group were victims of a genocide executed by none other than her neighbors and fellow Germans. Through no mistake of her character, Anne Frank chose to believe that people are good at heart because of many reasons, but the most important being that she is good at heart, but I refuse to believe that this is true in all cases.
