Sal de Liema told about how he and Mr. Frank tried to survive mentally, singing songs to distract them from the suffering. Mr. Frank always kept hope that his children, Anne and Margot were alive. Mr. Frank also acted as a father to Sal de Liema. Janny Brilleslijper had found Anne at one of the camps, after being in the cold rain, alone with her sister for so long, and they were thrilled Anne was there to keep them
company. Even when situations seemed completely hopeless, they always tried to keep hope and never gave up. Even after being captured and brought into the camps, they still stayed together and gave each other hope. This applies to our lives, since everyone always goes through hard times. You can try to find mentors or helpers to aid you in difficult times, and always keep hope and think positive, instead of thinking of those that will only make you more miserable.

When Anne’s family and others moved into the Annex, Miep brought them daily food rations.

Anne is able to remain hopeful and dreamy hidden in the Annex. According to Anne’s diary in source 1, Anne writes, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are truly good at heart.” She cares greatly for others suffering similar fates and those less fortunate than herself. She knows she is lucky to be hiding, and feels for other children who have nothing rather than drowning in self-pity. Anne writes in source 2, “Luckier than millions of people.” and “...hordes of children stop passerby in the streets to beg for a piece of bread.” Anne’s care for others, hopeful attitude, and her ability to make the most of such a disheartening situation make her story something
Have you ever wondered what life would be like in hiding. Anne Frank has many ways of getting the reader's attention.

In the screenplay “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Anne, a young and indomitable Jew living through the Holocaust, goes through many transformations that are the backbone of the play. “It is Anne’s emergence as a young woman that becomes the spine of the play, that holds the rest of the play together,” (Anderson, Brinnin, et. al. 279). Indeed, Anne’s maturity is the frame that holds the story together. As the play opens, Anne is naïve, mercurial, and disrespectful, especially towards her mother, also known as Mrs. Frank. She goes through multiple changes that are the ultimate foundation of this piece of literature. Finally, she becomes an optimistic young woman who helps her family stay hopeful even after
The Diary of Anne Frank is the diary of a young girl during one of the bleakest time periods ever to take place in world history. Addressed to her diary, her dearest friend during her grim time in the annex of her father’s office, each passage was written with various displays of hope, resilience, and faith in Anne’s written thoughts and documented actions throughout the three years she spent living in fear and misery amongst other Jews hiding away during World War 2.
She receives this diary as a birthday gift and she began writing immediately. In her diary, Anne wrote about many experiences in the annex, thoughts about herself, relationships with Peter, her father, and the other people, while also writing short stories and poems of other famous writers from time to time. The diary also acts as a close “friend” to Anne because she is constantly writing and the diary allows her to freely express herself in a time where everyone had to be discreet in everything they did in order not to get caught, “I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains” (171). Anne remained close to her diary until the very end of her short life when the people that had been helping the Frank's, Kleiman and Kugler, had been arrested by the Nazis which led to the deportation of the Frank family to Auschwitz, a death camp in southern Poland. Immediately after their departure, Miep Gies recovered Anne's diary that had been left behind along with all the other papers or documents in the secret annex. Anne and Margot would be transferred to Bergen-Belsen where she would die of typhus, and Margot would die of illness as well.
