Anne Frank's Life On The Concentration Camps

Anne frank's life on the concentration camps was a struggle and very harsh.

Anne frank was a teenage girl , a victim caught up in hitler and his beliefs. “Anne was born on june 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany” (Herman 1). Anne and her family lived in germany for almost all of anne's life. During annes lifetime she has went to 2 schools one before jews and non jews were separated and one schools for jews because hitler didnt like jews so this was on the many things hitler did along with jews wearing a star on their clothes to show they are jews. Anne was a very fun and happy and hyper little kid. She always wanted to play outside instead of do her homework, Anne really enjoyed playing outside she was very much a huge outside person.According

to spring herman, “Anne, her sister margot frank , dad otto frank, mom edith hollander- frank, and grandmother rosa hollander were 5 of many many people who got sent to concentration camps” Hitler sent jews to concentration camps just because he didn't like them no matter if they were mean or the nicest people in the world. (1). ”Anne and her family were caught on august 4th , 1944”( herman 1).Anne and her family were caught in ottos office building which they called the annex. The annex is very important because it shows how they had to live in there in hiding and how small there spaces were it just sort of gives you a look and feeling of what it was like for anne frank and her family and the 2 other families who hid in there with the franks. Anne was a strong , brave, and young girl. Even though she did not survive the concentration camps her memory and her life will still go forward.

Anne frank's journal was a diary that anne wrote in through her life even in the concentration camps.She wrote about her struggles.

During annes life i don't think she thought in a million years that she would be stuck in a camp and kicked out of regular school and would have to go into hiding at such a young age. ¨When anne and her sister margot passed away in of the bergen-belsen concentration camp¨(herman)’annes dad otto frank was given anne's diary by a person who was in the concentration camp with anne and her sister and otto published it¨(davidson). And now since otto's office where anne and her family were staying and hiding the building still stands (its called the annex) they now call it the anne frank house(annex). The anne frank is important because it is proof where they hid and how they hid just sort of how they maintained everything and stayed alive it also shows there struggles of living there for example the tiny spaces or even the big spaces. “Anne and her family shared the annex with all together there were 7 people¨(james 1-2). Having to share would've been a struggle “they hid for 2 years until they were caught and all sent to concentration camps¨(james).Annes life was not a normal kids life but she made it through all she could.Anne frank is very

inspiring.

Life in bergen-belsen was a concentration camp a very harsh and diseased filled camp.¨Anne frank and her sister margot frank were sent to bergen - belsen concentration camp in 1944¨(james). Anne and her sister margot were in there teens when they got sent to bergen-belsen. There were many different types of concentration camps. There were extermination camps , labor camps, and just straight up prison camps.They seperated women and men.They choose people who were able to work and who went and most who couldn't work would be sent to extermination camps just because you couldn't work. ¨In Bergen- belsen to eat they got a piece of bread, and watered down soup¨(davidson). As you can imagine not a lot of people can survive on some soup and a piece of bread a day it's not enough nutrients or vitamins to survive. According to (davidson) ¨anne frank would sometimes ask for some extra food and some nurses that were prisoners would ask for a little more food for the babies and they could either get some grains or cereal and only about a handful and that would be all they were given¨.

There was no fast way to die in bergen-belsen only slow and painful. In Bergen- belsen about 50,00 people died from starvation and disease. As you know in bergen - belsen they were not given very much food and back then in the camps no medical supplies or medicine. The closest they got to a doctor was nurses or caring people who were all prisoners who would help comfort those who were sick. Bergen - belsen was more like a laborer camp many people also died from over work. ¨People in the camps were forced to work until they couldn't ¨(davidson).People who could not work any longer would either be sick, weak, or dying. The sleeping conditions were very bad ¨prisoners had to sleep on the hard and cold floor even in the winter¨(davison).Many diseases were spread and caught. In bergen- belsen the hygiene conditions were very bad. Obviously just all of the conditions were not good, not just bergen-belsen just all of the nazi camps (created by hitler).

Anne frank was a 15 year old girl who was forced to live unfairly because of hitler's wants and beliefs. Anne's life in the concentration camps were very bad and harsh. Anne was an innocent girl with an innocent family and was forced to struggle and to be in pain against her will along with her family and many other family just because they were jewish. Bergen-belsen was a disease filled, scary , and harsh community. People were forced to go there and work and if they couldn't work they would be sent to extermination camps and killed. A couple weeks after anne and her sister passed, everyone else was liberated and helped and recovered. Anne's dad otto came back for anne, margot, and edith(annes mom) otto was told that they have all passes away and he was given anne's diary and in 1945 he published it and it's been famous ever since. Thanks to anne for writing her diary and her dad for publishing it so we could realize and understand no only her life but her struggles.
