Similarities Between Anne Frank And Jeanne Wakatsuki

Anne Frank, a writer, once said,”Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” During World War II both Anne Frank and Jeanne Wakatsuki had to deal with bad people. Both also had to deal with not having the freedom they were used to. Although they were on different sides of the Earth their time during the war was very similar yet different.
To start Anne Frank and Jeanne Wakatsuki were very similar. One similarity is that they both lived during World War II. Another similarity is that they both were the youngest in their families. Also, according to Wakatsuki and Houston, Jeanne’s life changed because they were not allowed to stay in their home because she was different. According to Goodrich and Hackett, Anne Frank

also had to leave her home because she was different. Even though they both had to leave their homes during the war they both had their family go with them(Goodrich and Hackett and Wakatsuki and Houston). Another similarity is they both got sent to camps because of who they were(History.com and Wakatsuki and Houston). In conclusion, both girls lived during World War II and had to leave their homes because they were different.
Secondly, Anne Frank and Jeanne Wakatsuki also had differences.

First, Anne Frank lived in Amsterdam, Netherlands and had to live in her father’s warehouse in a secret annex during the war to hide from the Nazis, who wanted to capture them for being Jewish. On the other hand, according to Wakatsuki and Houston, Jeanne lived in Long Beach, California and the United States government wanted her because she was Japanese. The government wanted the Japanese because Pearl Harbor recently had been bombed by Japan. Another difference is that Anne Frank was thirteen when she first went into hiding, while Jeanne was only seven when she got sent to an internment camp(Goodrich and Hackett and Wakatsuki and Houston). Next, their lives where they lived were very different. Anne Frank was not allowed to go outside and was not able to talk from eight in the morning to six at night. In her hiding spot Anne and her family did not have much food and were hungry at some points(Goodrich and Hackett). On the other hand, Jeanne was allowed to go outside and talk whenever she wanted. At the camp there was shortages of certain foods, such as sugar, but there was enough food most the time. But, when there was enough food it was not prepared well(Wakatsuki and Houston). In the end, both Anne Frank and Jeanne both had a hard time during World War

II.
